This is a good summary / refresher and worth a read, even if you're familiar with most of the productivity methodologies out there. I didn't know the Eisenhower Matrix had a specific name.
Not linked in the article (but worth a plug IMO) is the Mac app Vitamin-R [1]. I've started using it again lately and I'm finding it useful. It combines several of the methodologies in the article: Pomodoro, Time Boxing and Biological Prime Time. With the latter, after each pomodoro Vitamin-R asks whether you were in flow or felt distracted - over time it generates a graph of your peak productivity times & days of the week.
