It might just be me, but I think I have cannot for the life of me figure out why someone would want to know how much time they are spending in each activity on their computer.
I recently came across a couple of software programs that claim to help its users to improve their productivity by […]

As an aside, I have found an interesting new web-service that’s called
Taskbin.com that I think is quite interesting.
It’s offered to groups that need to coordinate project actions in a transparent way, and to keep a single point of reference for who is doing what. It seems quite easy to use and I am […]

One of the things that I wished Outlook would do intelligently is to link the contents of a time slots with the next logical time slot.

a story on the founder of GTD (Getting Things Done), David Allen.
Much was made of his spiritual background and beliefs, and some have proclaimed the story a “
Slam Job“, with the intention being to make him and his work look bad.
I do think it went […]

I repeat my

Just curious, but does anyone know of a place online where people discuss how Microsoft Outlook can be used, and improved?
Let me know!

One of the major challenges for a 2Time user at any belt level is to find a system that fits the way in which they process their information.
Unfortunately, Microsoft Outlook, the industry leader in this sphere, does not seem to have been designed by a time management user, and instead seems to have been […]
