I found two great tools today. The first one is Joe’s Goals, a small web-based application that helps you keep your goals. I’ll be using it from now on.
The second one is NowDoThis (www.nowdothis.com), a fabulous web-based to-do list. It’s so simple you can’t tinker with it at all, and it shows one task at a time, leaving you no other options than simply doing it and then click done. When you are done with all your tasks you get a nice “all done” message and can lean back for the rest of the evening. Simple, fun and great!
I’ll add something to tools. I’m an open-source enthusiast for several reasons. My main OS is Ubuntu linux, because it is fast, good and better than the expensive alternatives offered from Microsoft. Oh and it’s free. And I get a new one every 6 months. For free. And with a little work it runs lightning fast on my old 1200mhz/512mb laptop, making it a usefull piece of hardware again. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to windows again.
Thanks for posting about “Now Do This” – I’ll use it and see how things go.
For me, success with this tool will probably be to keep tasks short (<30 mins) and do-able.
