Treepad for structured textual notes/info. (TreePad <http://www.treepad.com/>) Nice and quick, easy to structure but demands some main structural schema (to hang your ideas on). Getting a bit old now. 2. KeePass for all internet logins/passwords/subscriptions/network access ( KeePass <http://keepass.info/>). Takes some getting used to, but worth the effort. Has evolved and updated over several years. 3. OneNote. For all my main study notes and copied internet info. Great at links and organising topics into sections/pages. 4. MLO for tasks. I really need an easy link from MLO notes to these other tools. Currently I don't bother because the links mess the notes up too much. I tend to use date records in the task note to update me for the last/next action, rather than try to create too many tasks. Although I do have around 600 tasks, but 200 of those are fixed notes (standards, terms and template lists). I use a status icon to tell me how 'hot' the task is and I am just implementing the Eisenhower/Covey Important/Urgent quadrant by changing (auto-format) the Note icon depending on the task settings (delayed by modelling the MLO computed-score and mapping onto the quadrant [currently a 9x9 matrix]).
Whatever you use is never for very long, so investing too many days of effort trying for a single repository is probably going to end in frustration. I am finding that work assignments tend to be for 2 to 5 years. So I produce an evolving tool set to accompany me on the journey. I find that trying to adapt my methods to suit the tools and configure the tools to fit my method helps to organise my mental portfolio and this has reduced the frustration of changing tools. at least that's what I tell myself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
