Experiencing Web Page Titles
This is a personal thing in the UX domain, but I think it applies to more than just me. I see too many sites where the first set of words in the title of each web page on the site is the name of the site itself followed by the actual page title. For me this doesn’t make sense, for two reasons.
I know a lot of people who keep thinking that implementing a new productivity system will change their lives around immediately. I fall prey to this kind of thinking a lot of the time, too. I’m an avid GTDer who believes in the system, but I sometimes get into so much GTD (putting what I have to do into my system), that I never actually get things done. GTD, the system designed by David Allen and propagated through his books and his company, David Allen Company, emphasizes getting what your “commitments” are into a trusted system that is organized by “context,” or the environment you have to be in to complete those commitments. Once they’ve been organized, you can complete your commitments by referencing the context you are currently in and then completing the commitments currently available to you.
