Not exactly resources, but I have found that when I have tight deadlines I generally stop thinking about what new tool I could use for the job, and simply get on with it. This is such a period, with several consecutive deadlines since the end of the previous year, and it has led to my being much more focused and productive. It has also motivated me to simplify my workflow and use less and less programs. Another, artificial but useful, constraint is my using a cheap Linux notebook for many of my out-of-office activities; as a result I need to limit myself to programs and formats that work on both Windows and Linux.
