Some things I would add to the list:
1) Program launcher (launchy/quiksilver/gnome-do/katapult/etc) instead of icons
2) Vim as an editor (mastering its usage)
3) Gesture search in android
Not currently using but I want to try:
- Polyphasic sleep (perhaps everyman)
- Colemak keyboard layout
2) An online calendar. For better or worse, I've freed up my brain space in favor of an online calendar to track my meetings, appointments, events, etc. I don't have to keep those in mind anymore. Personally, I love this, but it does make me overly dependent on the online calendar.
3) Goldtouch keyword. I love this thing. I was trying to stay away from brand names in my list, but I didn't know how else to describe it. It folds down from the middle allows you to touch-type in a very ergonomic position, at least for me.
4) Duct tape. It truly can repair anything physical. Just fixed my fan with it.
5) A towel. You always need to have a towel ;)
1) A smartphone. I use it to record notes and random ideas as they strike me, read & answer emails, find directions, and all that other good stuff. The note taking is a huge advantage though. 2) An online calendar.

I agree with you on the smartphone, I use an android flavoured device myself.
The online calendar is a win as well, and it integrates great with the smartphone.
I would add Evernote (or similar)!! For online note-taking.
Didn't know about Goldtouch keyboard before, I'll have a look.
Duct tape!! McGyver lives in our heart ;)
Thank you
2) reduce multitasking
3) eat like a bird
4) exercise
5) don't commute more than 20mins each way
1) 9 - 10 hours sleep 2) reduce multitasking 3) eat like a bird 4) exercise 5) don't commute more than 20mins each way
Reduce multitasking - that is, focus in a single task at a time, agreed!!
Eat less, exercise more - agreed! That is in fact one of my pending points.
Don't commute more than 20mins each way - I would add... unless you can do something useful while you are commuting!!
Thank you!!
It's minimalist and gets out of the way, but has lots of powerful features if you need them. But it stays out of your way if it doesn't. I had about 130 little tiny things to do a month ago on various lists, inboxes, etc, etc. Put them all into MLO, got it down to ~40 now. Very useful, worth trying out.
I can definitely recommend the Dvorak layout. If you think Colemak will be even better then go for it!
I need to be on holiday to learn the new layout though.
2. Notepadd++ - For all editing purposes.
3. A diary to track and list everything work related, this works as a todo list, doodles, project discussions, lists.
4. Evernote for dumping notes from across the web and emails.
5. Combination of Firefox and Google Chrome
I can't recommend this software organizer heavily enough - http://mylifeorganized.net/ It's minimalist and gets out of the way, but has lots of powerful features if you need them.

I see there is an Android version, that is good!! But there is no Linux version... I use both Linux and Windows. Anyway, looks good!
