Everyone makes a task list (or “todo list”) at least now and again. Usually, we wait until we’re overwhelmed with stuff to do, and then we’ll sit down and list everything we need to get done in the next day or two.

It’s such a great idea, in fact, that you just know you’ll remember it in the morning. Happy to have finally come up with the perfect line, you nod off, smiling and peaceful. In the morning, of course, it’s gone. All that… Continue reading

Too much of today's personal productivity is stuck in repeating the past
A genuine increase in productivity means getting the same, or greater, output with less effort and a smaller use of resources.

You can organize your todo lists any which way you like [house, work, fun etc] but how often are you categorizing them into importance and urgency? Sean Tierney suggests sorting your todos graphically on a scale for urgency vs importance - since tasks can sometimes parade as urgent when they really aren't, and vise versa.

The online organizer from the 37signals camp, Backpack, has just relaunched with some new features. They're boasting a new UI that's been built from scratch, and by the looks of things, it's a welcome improvement.

Compatible with Applescripts, Quicksilver and iCal, DoIt also adds a sync function across multiple computers using .Mac - got… Continue readingMay 4 2007 | By Craig | Tagged: apple, mac, software, todo | 3 comments»
