Does a Trackball make you more productive? @Hauser: WHERE? Seriously, I once bought a standalone IBM laptop keyboard that including Trackpoint. But it was expensive and they don't make it anymore. So, the advice, while useful is not easily actionable. |

How do I get faster at typing when you already have a decent speed? @Tom-Wijsman: I did not mean to imply that it is hard to set Dvorak up. Rather I meant that if you are using somebody's computer, they will have Querty. And it is not particularly socially acceptable to just reset their keyboard and/or add keyboard layout. It would be (in those circumstances) the kind of thing that gives geeks a bad name. I have enough problem with colleagues using French Canadian keyboard to just extend the feel into something completely different. And I did not even mentioned that you would have to be perfect touch-typist to use Dvorak on a keyboard with no stickers. |

How do I get faster at typing when you already have a decent speed? I like the idea of Dvorak, but I think the social costs overweight the individual benefits. For example if I want to type something on another person's computer. Or in public setup. Or if somebody needs to use my computer. And so on. I think Dvorak is effectively socially isolating, and I speak that from the experience of having a boss using Dvorak. Which is a pity, but does have to be considered. |

How can I transform my cycling commute time into productive time? A couple of people tried to make text-to-speech but it did not really have a business model attached. GMail to podcast is an interesting thought but would anyone pay for it (Free to Free, pay for conversion - I don't remember if that was one of the fifty 'free' ideas in the 'Free' book) |

How can I finish writing my Thesis as fast as possible, when I don't believe in it anymore? You may benefit from reviewing the answers to the 'Committing to worthwhile activity' question in this forum: productivity.stackexchange.com/questions/209/… . Specifically, look around for communities of people supporting each other through dissertation process. |

How to use Remember The Milk (RTM) to implement a GTD system? I tried it and a list for each project was quite unwieldy and took too much screen real estate. Just think 20 work projects plus same for home. Plus RTM does not have regular expression searches over project names, so there was no easy way to say 'show me next actions on all work projects'. I am using instead tags with prefixes I can search for. |
