Off Topic: Organization Software?

Lee Michaels · 2010-01-19T05:36:01+00:00

I am appealing to the collective wisdom (and possible software knowledge) of the Wreck.I find myself in the midth of a large number of projects, both work related and personal. They are have a lot of details that need to be updated on a regular basis. All my "job pads" are taking up a lot of space and rarely are up to date. I, by nature, hate calanders and daily planners.I don't need a calander, a planner or project manager. What I need is some way to keep track of multiple activities and update them on a semi regular basis. And ideally this would run on a computer. It can be simple.I just need some way to make a lot of lists and keep them current. I don't need to include outside parties. Just me and my projects. Some way to write down needed details and update them constantly.Is there such a thing? Can this be adapted from something? I want off the shelf and reasonable price. Will a shareware program work?Paper approaches don't seem to work. It gets stacked up somewhere and when I find it again, it is hopelessy out of date. And updating multiple paper lists can be a chore. Particularyif they are in differentlocations.Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

How about a copy of GoldMine Software? It was considered the top of the line contact management when I bought it. Lets you keep all sorts of relational data about each item and play with it in interesting ways. I never really used it like I thought I would, so it's for sale.

might help. Mine's v4, with manuals/training, etc.

I use both of those (KeyNote at work, TreePad at home because it runs under CrossOver Office). They are also good organizational software but with a bit of a different flavor than the MindManager software I recommended last night. These are great tools for keeping track of reference material or links to files organized in a coherent manner.

Have to check that one out
