Just a quick note to promote a post over at Lifehacker, Battle of the iPhone Task Managers. There are numerous task managers available now on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Myself, I use Zenbe as a simple Task Manager. The reason I like Zenbe is that it is quick, clean, and has a nice Web Sync so that I can use it on my Mac and on my iPhone. The Lifehacker post compares the ...

Getting Things Done GTD with Personal Development and Motivation for Success (39) 2 weeks, 1 day ago permalink

I provided a link in my last Productivity Links post to the Poder.dk blog covering tweaking your OmniFocus Workflow. Jens has created a great 15 minute video showing how he uses OmniFocus to Get Things Done. His workflow differs from the way OmniFocus is meant to be used and he does a great job of showing how he has shaped OmniFocus into the application he needs to fit his adaptation of the GTD Methodology.

Just watched Lewis Hamilton win the 2008 Formula One Grand Prix Championships. What an amazing grandstand finish. Lewis only needed 5th place to take the title and he was fifth right up to the last lap where he was overtaken. He managed to pull it back on the second to last bend, around 10 seconds before the end of the race to provide a real nail biting climax to a great F1 season. Being proud ...

I recently did a review of MindMaker, the first Mind Mapping tool for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I was very happy when i received an email from the creator of iBlueSky asking me to take a look at their app that provides competition for Mind Maker. I ...

by Andrew Mason (39) on

Getting Things Done GTD with Personal Development and Motivation for Success (39) 3 months ago permalink

At the Bloggers Meet-up I attended on Friday I had the chance to get a beta invite code for Woopra. Woopra is a Web Site Analytics program similar in operation to Google Analytics. These type of Analytics differ from the log based Analytics Apps such as AWStats that is provided with most hosting accounts. The reason these differ is that these rely upon Javascript code on each page in order for the Analytics program to ...
