My current Mozilla workflow: Trello, Google Mail, and GitHub
Like Clay Shirky, I think that over-optimising your setup and workflow for now can lead to long-term anachronism. He says:
[S]ince every tool switch involves a period of disorientation and sub-optimal use, I have to make myself be willing to bang around with things I don’t understand until I do understand them. This is the opposite of a dream setup; the thing I can least afford is to get things working so perfectly that I don’t notice what’s changing in the environment anymore.
In this screencast I show how I’m using Trello, Google Mail, and GitHub as part of my current workflow. This may change by next month – or even next week!
I’d love your comments and questions, particularly if you share your workflow or have any tips/tweaks for mine!
PS In 2015 I’m writing a book in my spare time called #uppingyourgame v2.0: a practical guide to personal productivity which you may find interesting…
Thanks for sharing this Doug!
No problem – would love to see *your* workflow, Oliver! 🙂
Just over a year ago I wrote a blog post about getting to “inbox zero”. I talked a bit about my workflow and the core tools I used.
I suppose the fact that I am still using this is a testament to the process.

Excellent, thanks for sharing Simon! 😀
