What is the best online accounting system?

I have been hired as a bookkeeper by a small design firm.

The books don't seem to hard to do, but my boss wants me to use an online system where he can easily export the time for his projects into the accounting systems and quickly produce invoices.

I am used to doing books for retail and wholesale businesses and I know how to do that well but I don't know exactly the right accounting and client management tool to use for this job.

i researched and found that I would have to buy Quickbooks Online, ChronoPipe and Basecamp.

Does anyone here know an easier way?

Moleskine, hPDA or both?

I don't own/use a Moleskine or a hPDA. But I can see how writing stuff down can be extremely useful.

I haven’t read David Allen's book but I have read a lot online about GTD. A lot of GTD'ers seem to use one or both of these paper devices.

What do you recommend? Do you use both? Why? and how do you use them?

Help Please

I saw something recently about scheduling your week and all of your normal activities before scheduling your work. There was a "buzz word" describing this technique and I can't for the life of me remember what it was.

If anyone can remember I'd be grateful for a reminder and a URL.

Thanks ...

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
