Productivity
It's Time to Start getting things done
Put all your “stuff” in one trusted place so you can find it when you need it.
Your brain is not a great storage closet.
Free it up for creativity.
Evernote
Use an app like Evernote or MS OneNote to place notes, documents, important papers or files, photos, audio files, "things to do" and so on. Evernote uses context to help relate Notes to one another.
Calendars and Contact Managers
These are two basic tools to help you stay on track and reach people you need call or email. Use these apps on your phone, tablet, or laptop to make life easier so you don't have to keep searching for "it's here somewhere".
Planners, Notebooks, and ToDo Lists
Even with digital apps, sometimes it's useful to write notes, sketch ideas, highlight, or make quick notes with paper and ink. Use your phone or tablet camera to capture these great ideas so you can use them later.
GTD®
Getting Things Done® workflow. Things work best with a plan and this is no exception. This workflow methodology is easy and straightforward and "natural". Use it even if you are not working full time so you can enjoy life more.
