One thing I like about web 2.0

My Most Downloaded Mind Maps
2007-03-10 03:47:01 In the last 30 days I posted in this blog 6 mind maps. Some of them were just drafts for the post itself, some of them were real tools that I considered useful. I was curious about the amount of interest each map will receive, so I implemented them not as plain files on the server, but served by Mike Jolley’s excellent Down load Monitor Wordpress Plugin. So now I know for each mind map the exact number of downloads. Here is the list. You’ll see in the paranthesis the real-time number of downloads, and in plain text the number of downloads as for March 9th 2007: Meeting Mind Map Template (228): 194 downloads Project Management With A Mind Map (165): 133 downloads Blogging With A Mind Map (112): 97 downloads The Procrastinator Mind Map (91): 65 downloads Review My Software For A Free License (63): 52 downloads Ghost Action Blog Post (42): 27 downloads What’s really interesting is that the 2 first places in the most popular mind map top, are also the first two...

Getting Things Done with an iPhone - total black belt productivity
More articles from this author:2007-03-10 03:47:01 It’s a fact: the iPhone will be here. Maybe it’s already, as rumors are already spreading about Steve Jobs conspicuously using it. So how this will help us, GTD addicted fellows? I spent a little time making a scenario about the best usage of an iPhone-centric GTD implementation, so here it is. We’ll start with the first phase out of the five described by David Allen in his book, and then we’ll explore some specific situations. 1. Collect One of the most neglected applications on the iPhone, equally during the keynote and after the keynote, was the Notes application. It was clearly depicted in the screenshots and presentation movies but I didn’t saw any specific references to it. It’s already on iPods, so why don’t we stick it in the iPhone too, right? I think it deserves a lot more attention, because, believe it or not, my impression is that could be the cornerstone of the collection process in the GTD methodology. As simple as it may seem...
