Do Things With Ajax – Todoist is an online to-do list manager that makes lots of happy use of Ajax for a slick and responsive user interface complete with keyboard shortcuts. It also features hierarchical projects and tasks plus a smart calendar feature that helps you focus and schedule things with minimal effort.
Simple Team Time-Tracking – That’s the promise of 14Dayz, a hosted service for tracking the time your team spends working. Put in projects, tasks, team members, and hours, and get consolidated reports out the other end. There’s a free plan and a variety of payment levels depending on how many projects you track.
Kinkless No More – Once upon a time there was Kinkless GTD, a popular “Getting Things Done” application for OS X. Now there’s (about to be) OmniFocus, a pro reimplementation of many of the same ideas as a fast and flexible Cocoa app with lots of integration with everything under the sun. In public beta now, and with a discount price for early buyers.
Speaking of Which… – If GTD just doesn’t quite work for you, check out Zen to Done, from WWD’s own Leo Babauta. He’s now collected all of his writings on this “ultimate simple productivity system” into one handy e-book for a mere $9.50.
There’s a Network for Everything – Remember looking up the answers to the odd-numbered math problems in the back of the book when you were in school? Now you can go to Hotmath.com instead, and get step-by-step tutorials. Plus you can use their embedded messaging to discuss the problems with friends.
