There's a good amount of material at [http://lesswrong.com/ Less Wrong] about increasing personal productivity. There's been little systematic research on which suggestions work well, and some of the practices discussed could ''decrease'' productivity for some people. However, it's worth reading what other people have found helpful to get ideas for practices that you could implement in your life that might work well for you.

Two books that people have recommended on Less Wrong are

* [http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-productivity-ebook/dp/B000WH7PKY/?tag=vglnk-c319-20 Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity]. This book has a very favorable rating on Amazon with 1,000+ reviews.
