Top 10 productivity tools I use
Monday, 28 July 2008
Well, not too long ago I started reviewing my own productivity and started reading up on things, specifically the Zen-to-Done and Getting-Things-Done methods (you will probably see more of these appear here in the future)
After reading multiple posts and articals I now have a few tools that I live by – short as it may be
So without further ado – the top 10 at this time:
- Moleskine
The pocket-sized notebook / scrapbook / agenda / calendar / to-do list… whatever you want it to be. - Remember The Milk
A simple task management system that is straight-forward, integrates into Google Calendar and well, it just rocks. - FireFox
And it’s list of plugins I use, which I plan to post this week. - GMail
Best online mail system so far. - Google Calendar
Works great, simple and integrates with Remember The Milk - Pidgin
Great open-source freeware multi-IM system. It helps to prevent me from loading: Windows Live Messenger, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk and so on. - Google Reader
Great RSS feeder. - Launchy
Application launcher, on steroids. It indexes your Start-menu, so when you start it and type a part of a program name it just finds it immediately. The advantage? Never go through the Start-menu again. - Process Lasso
Lowers CPU-hogging processes to a lower priority – keeping your system available and running while you do other stuff - Foobar
Just music (MP3, OGG and anything else under the moon). And no fancy stuff you never use anyway
