omnifocus for iphone! [Creativityist]
Some of my favorite news out of WWDC this week — OmniGroup is offering some more info about OmniFocus for the iPhone. My favorite feature: “Synchronized with your Mac via .Mac or WebDAV. Live. Automatically.” I had every reason to expect that OmniGroup would get this right, and they did.
They offer some screenshots [...]
reading journal [Creativityist]
I’m an avid reader. I set a goal each year to read an average of a book a week. I enjoy reading, but it is also a discipline of creative work. Ideas rarely initiate out of nowhere. Some of my most creative thoughts cascade out of other ideas, and reading provides me with a torrent [...]

New twitter, friendfeed and BBP friend, Rahsheen Porter, has begun a new series on his blog, SheenOnline, detailing his usage of Remember the Milk (RTM) for his GTD system. It all began when I posted a link in the GTD FriendFeed room to a great post on the RTM blog titled Advanced [...]
silverflow [Creativityist]
Yesterday, Lifehacker linked to a post on MacApper highlighting a few Quicksilver interfaces. Now, before I rave about my new Quicksilver interface, let me give a little love to MacApper — I’m now a subscriber.
Now, on to SilverFlow. This is a lovely plugin that is modeled after, well, CoverFlow. The icons whiz past as [...]
Mindmanager GTD templates [Productivity Workflows]
I recently had to use a backup of this blog to re-import its content. As a result some of the links are no longer working, but I do not have time to check them at the moment. If you are looking for the Mindmanager GTD templates I released ages ago, you can find them at [...]

freeeeeeedddoooommmm! [Creativityist]
Since I first talked about Blinders, there has been a common theme around here of finding ways to streamline and eliminate distractions. A few weeks ago, I mentioned turning wireless off. For a little more drastic measure, you might (and I might!) consider a program a a friend told me about called Freedom:
Freedom is an [...]

Organize IT recap for 18th April 2008
On Wednesday I introduced the first stage of my Organize IT trigger list. Thanks to your feedback I have expanded it even further and I now believe it to be a huge, definitive list. I have also published it in PDF format for easy printing when you need it [...]
Introducing The Organize IT Trigger List [Organize IT]
As promised on Monday when I wrote my seven point guide to clearing your head, I have written an extensive trigger list to help in the process of getting everything off your mind. It is intended to be as definitive as possible and can hopefully serve as a replacement for the trigger list in the [...]
evaluating evernote [Creativityist]
I’ve been evaluating Evernote for the last few weeks. I like it. A lot. So much that I’m tempted to change over from Yojimbo.
But not yet.
Here’s what I like:
Without a doubt, my favorite feature is Evernote’s ability to recognize text in an image and make it searchable. I can snap a picture with my [...]
