- Pimp your desktop…If you keep important information like tasks and project notes in plain text files, you can pin that information to your desktop automatically. Free Windows application Samurize can embed text files data right on your desktop behind any program windows, giving you at-a-glance access without having to launch a text editor. (via lifehacker)
- GTD desktop wallpaper anyone? (via stuff for getting stuff done)
- What’s cooler a iPhone or a majestic Moleskine? When I gave up on ta-da list and abandoned my PDA, my Moleskine filled the gap. This post is proof that a simple, quality notebook can give you just as much of a buzz as owning the latest iPhone, Palm, Blackberry or other device. (via putting things off)
- New episode of the Productivity Show…Doug Fisher is President of Mission Control, a productivity methodology for increasing productivity and reducing stress. Sounds like Getting Things Done? Well here’s a comparison from someone who has done both; GTD-er’s Perspective on Mission Control. Mission Control adds a layer of time based action into your calendar, so that the things/actions you are going to do are set in time. Mission Control also looks at how you are being with the things you think you “should” do. (via the podcast network)
- I love blogger’s who have a gift for stating the obvious….Stop scribbling things down on sticky notes and start using a professional calendar. Whether it’s an electronic planner or a bound appointment book, you need to get organized. (via be an original)
- Rob slobbers over Evernote 3 Beta…I’ve been using the new Evernote 3 Beta as my capture tool for the last few weeks and must say how impressed I have been with it. The main advantage with it is that I have access to my notes wherever I am because of its ability to synchronise seamlessly between my computer, the web and my windows mobile phone. (via 7breaths)
- Web Worker Daily claims that the time tracking application Klok is effective and sexy! I’m typically not easily dazzled by eye candy but in this instance the Adobe Air platform is a perfect match for Klok. Each project item is color coded and it’s a snap to drag and drop items to the timesheet or to the built in timer to create your entries. Everything is easily moved and resized and you can drag anything to the trash or to the archives to keep things tidy. (via web worker daily)
- Taking your work on the road…You have the ability and the technology to work wherever you want, and yet most of the time you’re sitting in your computer chair - probably rarely seeing the light of day. Sometimes, you might find yourself longing for a change in scenery. And why not? A new environment can boost your creativity, give you a fresh perspective, or it might just be the thing to get an old project moving again. (via web worker daily)
- His Daveness has released his 2-day GTD seminar on a 10 CD set and it’s only 395 bucks!…I don’t typically use this forum for marketing messages about our products and services. But today I’m bending the rules a bit. I’m told that today is the day that we are officially releasing our new “GTD Live!” CD set. This should be pretty exciting news for anyone who always wanted to go to a David Allen seminar but hasn’t gotten the chance. (via michael dolan)
- Microsoft making app’s for the iPhone? The iPhone is definitely turning into an enterprise heavyweight. Tom Gibbons, head of Microsoft’s Specialized Devices and Applications Group (which houses their Mac developers) confirmed to Fortune that Microsoft is looking at bringing native Office apps to the iPhone with the SDK: “To the extent that Mac Office customers have functionality that they need in that environment, we’re actually in the process of trying to understand that now.” And why wouldn’t they?

Thanks for the link, and the great set of posts. I’m always interested in cool note-taking systems like EverNote, esp. since I’ve switched to a mac. Cheers!
