An Interview with Chris Perrin: PAR for Productivity

I talked to Chris Perrin about his PAR system recently, with regard to how it works. Chris Perrin is a freelance writer and blogger who has projects, deadlines and editors, all of which make him very interested about productivity. He is also deeply concerned about other’s productivity and the positive effect it can have on other people’s lives. He is the creator of The PAR System™, an effective, easy-to-learn system for personal productivity which can be found at StartBeingProductive.com. He also blogs about business and productivity at blog.startbeingproductive.com.

Listen to this podcast as Chris outlines his answers to these questions:

  • What is PAR & how did you come up with it?
  • Is this related to David Allen’s GTD?
  • Does this method rely on technology or can I use paper & pencil?
  • Is it based on keeping track of lists?
  • What is the big benefit?
  • What is a weakness in the method & how can one prepare for-work around it?
  • How do people stay motivated to maintain their practice?

The podcast is just about 20 minutes long.

    *giggle* I have a notebook fetish too! I LOVE Moleskine notebooks, and have taken to using a large reporter-style lined Moleskine for keeping my running to-do list.
