On April 24 of this year, Ben Yoskovitz started a group writing project at Instigator Blog. The Ultimate Guide to Productivity was born with a tip: "Here’s my Productivity Tip of the Day: Work in short bursts. The length of a productive burst will vary from person to person, but I’ve found myself to be most productive in 1-1.5 hour increments. Even 30-45 minute bursts are good. Focus on a solitary task during that time, bury yourself in it, but get out quickly. Take a short break, rinse and repeat." --Ben Yoskovitz, The Ultimate Guide to Productivity Group Writing Project, Instigator Blog
Since then, there've been 137 contributions and I thought it might be fun to do a bit of a project chronology.
By April 30, Ben was back with the news that 28 people had already responded.

Times get tough; money gets tight. What to do? What to do? Some people look to the skies, speak to the Universe, and wait for mannah from Heaven. Not the best way to walk the path of success it.

Do you know what "concerted effort" and "multi-tasking" have in common? Nothing. I've made my position on multi-tasking quite clear; I don't like it a little bit. It sets the stage for shoddy and incomplete work, it clearly makes us...

If the past needs to be worked out, so be it. It doesn't need to be worked out with everyone we meet. Mike's advice makes good sense; we need to live in the present and be ready to move into the future.
