[...] productivity app in one place? Well, now there is! I’ve started LifeDev’s very own Big List of Online Productivity Tools. However, it is by no means complete. At [...]

How about a section for RSS readers?
Under to do lists, Remember the Milk is missing.

Hey Doug. I initially left them out on purpose, but I can add them. It’s not a bad idea, the more that I think about it.
February 8th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Ok, added RSS readers AND personalized start pages.
February 8th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Good list! How about a section for maintaining a blog, or services for bloggers? Things like adsense, sitemeter, MyBlogLog, Blogger, Wordpress, google analytics, etc.
February 8th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Hi Leo.
Well, that is a thought. I think I’ll save that for another time tho… I kind of want to keep this one strictly for productivity.
It’s a great idea though :)

What ever happened to scrybe?
February 9th, 2007 at 1:42 pm
Just for the sake of accuracy, FreshBooks has completely redesigned it’s time tracking service…it’s now pretty sweet for invoicing AND time-tracking.
February 9th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
Good to know Mike. Thanks for the update.
February 9th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Thanks Glen. For what it’s worth I did a quick and dirty screencast of the timesheet redesign. Worth a look for anyone interested:

http://www.hivesminder.com gives nice to do list and Google calendar integration
February 9th, 2007 at 7:29 pm
Sorry. The address should be http://www.hiveminder.com, that gives nice to do list and Google calendar integration.
February 9th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
Thanks John. I added it :)

Great list! Do to my travels, I’m often in places without on-line access. Has anyone seen a list of off-line productivity tools that I could check out? Thanks!
February 15th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
to-do lists: toodledo, zirr.us, and for GTD tools - simple gtd. sorry if these are repeats.
February 15th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
nina,
Actually, I didn’t have any of those on there. Great suggestions!

How about reviewing some standalone online presentation tools that can export
powerpoint files.
February 17th, 2007 at 11:27 am
That’s an idea, except I don’t really have much expertise with them. :)

I noticed on a previous post that someone was looking for off-line productivity tools. I found a great tool from portableapps.com. has open source software that will fit on a thumbdrive, ipod, etc. Has the full Open office suite, anything you need. great interface and it all runs on whatever you put it on. there is a basic package, then you can add what you want. I know you wanted on line stuff. but sometimes you cannot be on line.

You should consider adding http://www.dailytodo.net to your To-do section. It offers something a little different - tasks that need to be completed on a regular basis, i.e. daily, weekly, and monthly tasks.
June 4th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Great List! As MindMapping Tool i would recommend http://www.mindmeister.com

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! bskdbjcnycu

L8R lets you send email later. Works with your own email account.
October 10th, 2007 at 10:35 am
Don’t know where you’d categorize it, but I swear by Jott. For a To Do List my fav is Toodledo. It can handle recurring events, email input, priorities, grouping, etc. It’s about the most complete I’ve seen.
October 19th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
I agree with #20. The to do list will compliment this list very well.
October 19th, 2007 at 7:34 pm
In response to numbers 20 and 25 it should be noted that Toodledo also does repeating tasks very well, but it is not limited to only simple repeating tasks. It’s much more comprehensive.

Hello, I would like to propose http://www.bloove.com, here you can manage contacts in your mobile (Nokia or Sony Ericsson) via web.
October 23rd, 2007 at 7:38 am
Hello, I would like to suggest that you add http://www.myticklerfile.com (MyTicklerFile) to your list as it allows you to monitor/manage your productivity via reminders, tasks and projects.
October 25th, 2007 at 6:10 am
This is an interesting list… you might also want to check out http://www.taskbin.com and add it to your To-do Lists… TaskBin is basically a group tasks management tool for managing all your task in a Group and a team environment…

You may want to check out http://www.purposegames.com
It’s not a game site per se, but rather a marketing tool. At least that’s how we use it for our winery, as we created a game for our customers and put it on our site and they get to spend time with our brand while learning about the wine districts we import from.

I am a dedicated user of Ghost Action, which is a wonderfully elegant Mac to-do list application. It’s GTD all the way, very clean- does everything I need it to do and no fancy frills to get distracted with.
December 24th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
This is a very nice list of online tools. Also, I thought http://www.imaginationcubed.com would be a good site for drawing collaboration.

Hi,
awesome list, more of those.
Unfortunately, I’ve found one mistake. You have wrong address to the GoPlan. It’s Goplan.org, you have it as Goplan.com which is not working.
January 5th, 2008 at 11:13 am
I’m sorry, I’ve made mistake too. Correct link to GoPlan is http://goplan.info/
February 5th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
We developed workloops.com to help keep our office organized, it’s a great reminder service, just assign a task to someone and it reminds them until they report on status or complete it.

Hello,
For implementing GTD you might try out this new application for time management and productivity,
http://www.gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use
checklists, schedules and a calendar.
Hope you like it.
May 8th, 2008 at 9:23 am
As with the last update, now Gtdagenda has due date for tasks (you’ll see in the calendar on the right if you have tasks due today), task notes, and Email & Print support.
