This blog post is a culmination of a few events of late…

Firstly, my good pal Brent Hodgson has seen the light and made the jump from PC to Mac. (come to think of it Brent ‘kinda’ looks a little like the MAC guy).

Secondly, I’ve implemented a few changes in the way I manage my time and the way I get things done… which has resulted in some amazing results… and these changes have primarily come from threes sources: David Allen’s book ‘Getting Things Done’, Eben Pagan’s ‘Wake up Productive‘ Course and the book ‘Power Of Full Engagement’

And thirdly it’s largely thanks to some MAC software I am using to implement the ‘lessons and actions’ drawn from the above resources, that’s resulted in my ability to get more done, and I wanted to share some those Mac programs with everyone.

So here is my list of the top productivity tools and Mac Software for getting things done.

I’ve just recorded a short video on the new YouTube Annotations feature…

Now, the thing I didn’t test before putting it all together is if it would work when you embed the video on a blog etc… Well the result is a big fat NO.

I tried to embed the video here for you to watch, but the annotations didn’t appear… which sucks more then Amy Wino-house.

Anyway, check out the video directly on YouTube here – http://youtube.com/watch?v=vdHgC4Ek7rI
