An ‘Independent Web Advice’ Blog

My Time and Web Time.

My time is scarce and I am sure yours is too.

We live increasingly hectic lives. Occassionally we achieve great things in a day and at other times we go around and around in circles. Occassionally I can spend the morning shifting a website structure around, and spend the afternoon shifting it all back again. These days are often all too common.

I can manage far more in a day than the majority of all the human kind that has lived before me, and so can you, thanks to these remarkable little machines we call computers. But in the morning I still can’t find my socks. Nothing really changes. I, myself, am not any faster. My tools are better.

I have recently tried quite a few project management tools, and none of them are quite right. So I have reverted back to a paper based todo list. But this time each week is photocopied for repeating tasks.

My repeated first task is to write in this blog. The spammers are killing my enthusiasm. Today I deleted 476 blog spams. They are never published, but the spammers never give up.

As if I didn’t have anything better to do.

See the new design here - an out of the way page as I add final touches. Comments welcomed. I can’t believe the time. Goodnight everyone.

   I’ve spent years refining the way I work and like you say always found my self reverting to pen and paper.

   I’ve recently started using activeCollab (found your blog through a post in the forum).

   Originally I thought I found what would be the end of pen and paper todo lists, but it still needed a task management system to rival scribbled lists. Fed up with scraps of paper everywhere, I built an addon to aC that has now finally buried paper and pen.
