I'm a college student with a small software business and a few other projects that take up at least a few hours of my time every day.

As I've begun to intern at different tech companies, I've studied the way they manage projects.

One medium-size web/media company I worked at had very clear goals for each quarter in terms of sales and traffic, but also, as it affected my department (tech), what features needed to be added to the sites during each quarter.

I've been learning and using GTD for almost two years now. Thanks to Merlin and 43folders I never fell off the wagon! Now I find myself with less stress, less wondering what I should do next, and more productivity. I'm also at a point where I can sort of do whatever I want, which is really nice. Becoming a GTD person isn't without it's problems. Mainly, it's frustrating working with people who aren't working productively. That's why I've been considering a slight change in career (or at least adding to my current career)- I'd like to teach others how to GTD!

Guy's

I just ordered a new imac 24" souped up box , as some who may know me I have used linux for the past 10 years .I have never used an apple computer. Can you guy's give me some ideas as to what GTD apps you favor and why The reason I post here is because Merlin uses mac [ he should get commission on my sale] and many of you use it , so where better to learn.

Making life easier isn't always about massive, miraculous changes in habit, or chucking vast quantities of your belongings. Sometimes, preventing just one little hassle can make your day.

You know how the little bit of soap left in the cup after you dump it in the wash always manages to leak down the side of the bottle when you recap it? Usually, you don't notice it until the next time you do the wash, and have to pry the jug loose from a sticky, lint-colored pool. To prevent this from happening, toss the cap in along with the wash instead of recapping the bottle right away. It comes out squeaky clean, and you just have to shake off a little water before screwing it back on the bottle. I suspect this would work with the top of a dish soap bottle too, though you'd have to ask Ray, the gallant cleaner.

What do you know about Thunderbird?

My home computer, a laptop with Windows XP, is on its last leg and I'll need to replace it in the next few weeks. I'll likely switch to a Mac.

With that in mind, I'm using a Windows PC at work. I've been gathering and organizing my digital life using Evernote on a thumb drive for the past two years. It's been easy to access my data at both home and work, and print notes for reference on the go.

Ubiquitous index cards; you'll look completely insane, but feel really relaxed. Just as God intended. (3:10)
