I use MindJet's MindManager Pro a lot for all kinds of actions, project tracking, coding ideas, blog ideas, one-2-ones.The tool is extremely flexible and now the new version 7 is available.Key Features:New User Interface - The fluent (ribbon) user interface is compliant with the new Microsoft standard seen in Vista. This means tabbed browsing and a quick access toolbar. The tabs are

Sometime the e in email means enough.One of the trends is to declare email bankruptcy. If you've sent me an email (and you aren't my wife, partner or colleague), you might want to send it again. I am starting overCapitalist Fred Wilson speaking to the Wall Street Journal.The volume of email has doubled in the last ten years and with Blackberry becomes more and more common place the pressure for

For those of you that have adopted the GTD collection process and have a physical in tray where you can store tangible items (magazines, articles etc) you have probably created something similar for your email. Maybe some form of basic file structure where you can move new mail to for follow up, assignment/delegation, reference or someday/maybe.This all works very well but I need something that

My previous posting on David Seah's Emerging Task Planner states that one of the key benefits is the ability, over time, to improve your ability to estimate the effort required for a task.The way I do this is using a neat little tool from Brad Isaac from his AchieveIt site called TaskBlaze.This is a simple stopwatch with start/stop functionality that integrates into Outlook to create a calendar

When I started to get organized in an effort to get on top of all of the tasks, work and personal, I looked around for ideas.I found David Seah and his Printable CEO Series. A great lead in and really got me started on planning and, importantly, measuring my work for the day.In essence the series is a set of PDF files that you can use to layout your day and tasks amongst other activities.

Many tools, services, devices and ideas need that compelling reason for people to adopt them.... The Killer Application.For the world of GSM this was SMS, Short Message Service led to the explosion of cell phone adoption and led the switch from analogue to digital.For Getting Things Done the killer app. is context. Context is the label that is applied to the action or project (more than one

Like many I struggle with keeping on top of things. This has become progressively more difficult as my remit expands from doing, to managing people and then managing projects.Some friends of mine were talking about a book that had been recommended to read, David Allen's "Getting Things Done", or GTD as it has become popularly known.The book itself is not the easiest book to read. However; push

My former boss and good friend starting using MindJet's Mind Manager and got me using it.Now, more than one year on, I am still scratching the surface on this excellent tool's features and abilities.I find myself using it for the traditional uses of brainstorming and defining scope, and initial work breakdown structure, for project initiation.Having listened to Dina on Mind Manager, an interview
