50 Ways To Increase Your Productivity - lifehack.org

I am quite adept to lists; this one (50 ways to increase your productivity) is, I believe, a really good one. Among the listed items, I have these ones that I really value since they work for me: take breaks, love what you do, use background music, complete most dreaded things in the morning, use a text editor like WriteRoom on the mac to avoid visual distractions, keep a notebook and pen handy, plan your meals, step away from the computer, write a daily to-do list, exercise, turn off TV, learn to say "No", use a calendar, get up real early, reward yourself, speed read, hibernate your Windows station.

What are your own best tricks to get organized? Have you read Allen's book "Getting Things Done?" and what's your opinions about a formal methodology? What are the tools you use personnaly that made a difference in your productivity?
