I really need a holiday. Well I’ve got one, leaving on Saturday for 8 days. Lovely.
Anyway, at the moment, I’m really feeling some sort of self imposed pressure that I need to organise my information and data in a more efficient manner.
I attempt to use del.icio.us for links that I want to read later and Ta-da Lists for to-do lists. See, both of those are online and I can add items when I like and retrieve at both home and work. I still end up sending emails home from work with notes or links. I then pretty much lose them in my inbox and forget about them.
I’d love some sort of online note-taker. There probably is something like that. Ah yes - actually looks awesome. GTD with BackPack. Looks great!
Anyway, once I get home, I want to organise my data there. So, I’m going to be checking out:
I’ve been trying to find something that integrates with my email app for data sorting - my beef about using an online jobbie is that then they both control my data and (in theory if not in practice) can see it, too.
So far I haven’t come up with anything, so have reverted to carrying a wee notebook around. Picked up a surprisingly expensive but very useful Moleskine at Citysuper. Clever little pocket in the back, elastic to keep it shut, page marking ribbon. (www.modoemodo.com) Came in handy for jotting “dobyden” and other linguistic necessities as well as train schedules while in the Czech Republic, where ‘net access wasn’t.
How much did you pay? Been looking for them.
A hundred and something. No more than a drink or two up at Red, but it did seem a bit much for an ittybitty notebook. They’re at the one in the IFC, on the racks on the right as you come out from the cash registers, opposite the bread fest.
Ta. Got one just now. Lovely.
