Yojimbo

I just bought yojimbo and am loving it. It's basic premise is that of a finder replacement, but the .mac syncing and password storage are extremely cool. I've applied my own methodology of GTD to it and it seems to work pretty well. The web archiving, image and pdf storage, and not to mention notes organization make it a versatile swiss army knife app.

A couple good applications out of the woodwork

I am continuing on the theme of Getting Organized with these applications.

Actiontastic:
Good for GTD, and syncing up with the ipod and ical also works with Quicksilver
Not quite as blingy as Inbox but it gets the job done

Spanning Sync:
.mac is quickly becoming obsolete. Spanning sync gives you the ability to synchronize your google calendar with your ical calendar.

Getting Things Done: The Book

I just finished the book, Getting Things Done, by David Allen. I have to say that it is a very good book, a lot of it is common sense. However I like the specific examples on how to better organize yourself. David sites specifics that a lot of other books and websites lack. Hopefully I can follow through with the methods it teaches. My first task is to set aside a day or two and get it all organized. Which was my first wrong thought, I thought, in order to get something done, I had to organize it. Well the book teaches that is only the start. The other big thing that I took from GTD is that it's okay to organize it and not do it right then and there. Anyway even if I don't follow through 100% (which is also okay according to the book), it seems as though I definitely pulled some items away from this book that I will use a ton. This book has definitely changed the way that I look at things when approaching projects and even designs. For those of you tired of the chaos that has become this digital world, I would definitely give Getting Things Done a read through.
