Productivity501 is a site dedicated to bringing you regular tips and tricks to help increase your personal productivity. This site focuses on original content so the publication schedule is a little slower than other blogs out there. Generally we try to have at least one new article each week, but the focus is on posting when we have something that will benefit our readers.

Most of my formal education has been in music composition and software engineering.

Yes, I'm a sucker for these kind of websites! Productivity 501 is all about productivity, of course, and also motivation and organization. I love that all of these are tackled in one site.

I really like the home page, because I can see all the places I can navigate to in one place. This makes the site drastically more appealing. There are a lot of different sections, such as those for money management and time management. It does seem this site may be geared toward professionals, but I don't see why everyone can't get something out of it. There is a lot of great information here.

My only complaint here is that a lot of the software featured in the technology section is expensive. There's a ton of sites out there offering free software, so there's no reason free alternatives can't be given. This should be especially important given the tough financial times.

How can a website...something so impersonal, bring people close together in a way that changes their outlook on their jobs and lives? I don't know, but ask the people at Productivitiy501.com. I personally think the name of the site is a bit...lacking but once you get over that, sign up for the newsletter and get the tips, and you'll be surprised too! The main one was the key stroke idea. Did you know when you're reading your email, the time it takes you to move your hand to the mouse and click a new email or delete the one you were reading takes 6 seconds as opposed to 1 with a keystroke? Well may not sound like a lot, but if you mulitply that by 30 emails a day or so, you're looking at an extra hour or so a week you could be making money! Really cool ideas like that pay for themselves over and over.

After countless times of extending deadlines a friend of mine suggested that I took a procrastination prevention course on Productivity 501. Initially I was skeptical, but by day three I began to see that I was actually managing my time. I find myself now visiting the site at least once a week to find out new and exciting tips and tools to effectively maximize my productivity. With compelling articles and stellar advice on everything you will need to increase your personal development... I absolutely swear by Productivity501.
