Creativity Management
If you’re an Israeli entrepreneur or have just started working on your own ‘something’, there are a number of places in Tel-Aviv where you can get a nice office, amazingly supporting environment, free Internet and plenty of free coffee. One such is The Hub TLV and another one is The Junction (@TheJunction32). When you go [...]
Taking notes: Google, Zoho, OneNote, Evernote
A mastery of note taking can not be valued highly enough. Dale Carnegie starts one of his public speaking books written back in 30′s with a full chapter about the importance of taking notes. While I strongly disagree with the “Use any ‘back-of-the-envelop’ kind of paper you happen to find at the moment” approach and [...]
Searching YouTrack with Chrome keyword search
Today’s “Integrating YouTrack in the Search Engines in your Browser” JetBrains TV is about adding YouTrack to Firefox list of search engines using its built-in Open Search support.

Web reading – 3 simple tricks that actually work
I was looking for a good way to organize my Web reading for years. The problem with the Web, as we all know, it’s just too big. Everything is there and it constantly throws new links on me in masses, never stops, even on the weekends! You get to Twitter for a second and whoops, [...]
Neat Delicious trick – keywords combination
The real beauty of Delicious lies in keywords combinations. I mentioned already that Delicious is my #2 most favorite productivity tool. Within time I developed a set of the most frequently-used keywords in the right column that can be combined with tags in the left column: “hudson” – Mailing list – “ml” “spring” – Issue [...]
Moving to YouTrack from Nozbe
I’m a big fan of productivity and GTD tools. After posting my previous article someone on DZone has mentioned Nozbe, an on-line time- and project-management application. That sounded interesting as I’ve switched a number of approaches already, trying to track all my various online and offline activities. My last attempts were “Remember The Milk” and [...]
10 Online Tools for Superb Productivity
I love being productive. I love it to the point where I actually hate being slowed down by an application or a resource. I don’t mind waiting but only for a good reason. Anything that makes me stare at the screen doing absolutely nothing will usually drive me into searching for a faster replacement right [...]
