A quick overview on how to be more effective and efficient via (mostly) cloud-based and (mostly) free tools and services for team-collaboration, social media-operation and self-organization. A quick (and non-theoretical) overview taking a look at some great little helpers to unleash the force, switch locations and devices easily, waste less time and get stuff done.

Emulate a washing machine (NOT)

10. Read this book (DO IT)

11. Get a proper jobdesign

12. Kill E-Mail
It‘s killing your productivity.

13. E-Mail is 40+ years old already

14. E-Mail is a Killer
• E-Mail is killing time
• E-Mail is killing productivity
• E-Mail is often not the right choice
• E-Mail is generating silos of knowledge
• E-Mail is annoying and power draining
• E-Mail prevents transparency
• E-Mail is no fun at all

15. E-Mail is NOT the only choice

16. What Gen Y wants @ work
• All ideas compete on an equal footing
• Contribution counts for more than credentials
• Hierarchies are natural, not prescribed
• Leaders serve rather then preside
• Tasks are chosen, not assigned
• Groups are self-defining and -organizing
• Ressources get attracted, not allocated
• Power comes from sharing information, not hording it
• Opinions compound and decisions are peer reviewed
• Users can veto most policy decisons
• Intrinsic rewards matter most
• Hackers are heroes
