The term “google it” has become rather pedestrian these days, and rightly so… it is the “go to” place for quick info.  Whether it’s news or information, it’s my first stop.  Wikipedia provides as the source for my first detailed explanation of something (which is usually the first link in Google, so… Google still wins!)  But more and more often I find myself doing something a little different.

I’m YouTubing it!  Certain sorts of things are just easier seen than read, and often (especially when I’m cooking) I go to YouTube to find out how to do something.  

• Want to learn how to Moon Walk?  YouTube It! 
• You poor slobs need to learn how to tie a tie?  YouTube It!  
• Want to make a pretty oragami flower for your sweetie?  YouTube It!  
• Need your own semi-automatic LEGO rubberband gun?  That’s right… YouTube It!  
• Want to make a delicious seared steak?  YouTube it!

Of course, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch this is even more useful!  You can YouTubeIt! on the go!

YouTube (and sites like Google Video) have become an enormous database of instruction over just about any sort of thing one might due from laundry to creating a GTD Notebook!

I must admit, I never really got much out of YouTube before I realized I could learn how to do things with it.  I mean, I like watching Charlie bite his brother as much as the next guy but I could never spend much time doing it.

 So here we are… YouTube for productivity.  You heard it here first.
