I mentioned RescueTime and a couple of Firefox short cuts in previous posts. I would like to follow this up with 4 articles discussing how to become more efficient when on your computer.

1 and 2) Check email twice a day and Email Ninja both by Tim Ferriss
-implementing these techniques are not without controversy, but definitely worth considering

3) 12 Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts you will Actually Use by Andy Wibbels
-Before reading this post I was not using ‘ctrl + tab’ to toggle through tabs in Firefox, it is really nice.

4) KeepMeOut Reminds You Get Back to Work by Jason Fitzpatrick
-love the simplicity

   lol. Thanks for the feedback. In my opinion, time management is a critical part to becoming a successful scientist, but have worried a little that it is too ‘off topic’. Glad you found the post useful.
