In the last bit you commented about favoring speed listening to reading. Even though I speed listen, too, I resort to reading whenever I can for a couple of reasons (and not just that I’ve been teaching High-Speed Learning & PhotoReading for years already). With speed listening you can listen double speed for most audios and 4x is probably the fastest you can go usually, for most audios, 2-3x is the max. With reading the limits to speed acceleration are much higher.

Any speed reading technique you can easily cut short your learning time & effort. And if you apply something more advanced like PhotoReading, you only end up spending a fraction of the time on reading. (Most people I work with say they can absorb the information 3-10x faster) The problem is that with most people, that don’t have the time/energy/enthusiasm for reading, even though they’d end up spending a fraction of the time compared to speed listening (or even listening normal speed!) With all this said, I use speed listening, too. For me it’s a useful alternative at times but always, if I can, my “weapon of choice” for High-Speed Learning is PhotoReading.

In addition to some of the tools you mention here, I use Zoho.com for a lot of my word processing, spreadsheets and such. Having these things available to me no matter where I am is a great benefit to my productivity.

I store a lot of forms and documents there and can pull them out whenever I need them. Sometimes even more handy than my flash drive. I have just started using their meeting product for remote support, so I can’t pass judgement on that yet. I still can’t get into GTD. I keep trying but then just reverting back to the standard old to-do list. Hi Pete, Cool article.

I’m playing with Evernote and Things right now and I like what I’ve seen so far. Quicksilver rocks! I’ve been using it since I got my first Mac laptop. In fact, if I use a Mac that doesn’t have it I get cranky. It’s the ultimate never-leave-the-keyboard application. I can launch any app, web link, or file with one or two keystrokes. I’m also a fan of Skitch.

Best screen capture program I’ve used, and it’s free. I’d be happy to pay for it if they started charging. Another cool times saving app for those who used web based software (e.g. Gmail, facebook, Google calender, etc.) is Fluid.

It allows you to create a unique app file for a site specific application. From their website: “Fluid gives any WebApp a home on your Mac OS X desktop complete with Dock icon, standard menu bar, logical separation from your other web browsing activity, and many, many other goodies.” I use it for gmail. So my gmail is like a seperate application. I find it’s much faster than using gmail through Flock since I usually have mulitple tabs open. Plus, I can quickly open my gmail app using quicksilver and typing the letter ‘G’. Cheers, Craig. Pete Williams is an entrepreneur, author, and marketer from Melbourne, Australia.
