I'm having problems finding my desk and walls because of post-it notes and scraps of paper hanging all over the place.

Anyone find a successful way to keep business projects, notes and todos well organized?

I'm thinking of using a wiki to handle the above tasks. Any comments or suggestions on how to climb out from under all these post-it notes and piles of paper will be appreciated.

All I recommend is the Zenbe list application on iPhone (or the web version over at their website, which syncs automatically with your iPhone if you have one) and keeping a good, clean calendar. That works for me.

You can use http://www.Gtdagenda.com , web-based Project and Task management tool, along with other features like goals, checklists, calendar. And here's how another WF member uses it to run his business: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...-business.html

This looks very good. Would love to see something like this that would run on a local network. The reason I can't use a remote version is that many of my projects contain extremely sensitive data that would place me in a heap of trouble with many of my clients if I allowed it to be saved by a third party.

Also if for some reason the site could not be reached it would stop work in it's tracks.

So what I need is something like it that will run on a local network.

I suggest two things. First use Google's calendar for scheduling and reminding. It's free and sincs with Iphone if you have one. It's great because you can have it send a reminder via text to any phone to say "you've got an appointment with ___ at 3pm". And you can set it to go off more than once and schedule it to repeat monthly or yearly, etc.

The second tool is for your desktop to look 100% cleaner and be more organized. It's called stardock.com It's free and gives you the same effect with your icons as the new mac does. (Hidden until you mouseover them).

Just a tip (important!) Move your icons onto your main drive (probably C) and thennnn drag them to your new icon tray. That way you won't lose what's in them if you delete the original after creating the new icon!

Cheers!

Hi All,

I have found and used several Project management and Time management tools that have worked well for myself and other heavily overwhelmed clients at ozgrid.com

They have a great selection of variables so you might find something there.
Sorry I haven't been her long enough to post a full link yet. YET!

Thanks

Rob,

Have you tried mind mapping? You could have a different mind map for each project and then a global map that links to the maps for each of your projects.

If you're interested in a checklist solution, it might be worth looking at Sciral Consistency - Sciral : Innovative Productivity Tools : Sciral Consistency

I haven't used it yet but it definitely has a good looking user interface.

Francis

Thanks

I think I have found two possibilities that can be installed on a local network or on the web.

PmWiki | Cookbook / GettingThingsDone
gtd-php Documentation | Main / GTD-PHP: Getting Things Done with PHP

Has anyone tried either of these solutions?
