Nozbe For Getting Things Done – Project Sharing

Hi All, hope you are all having productive days!

Just been watching the fourth Nozbe Video courtesy of YouTube. The fourth video is about Project Sharing and is well worth a watch if you are looking to use Nozbe as your GTD application.

Just a recap about Nozbe.

Nozbe is a simple web-based gtd software, so you don’t need to install anything on your computer – just sign up for a free account and log in to manage your to-dos, tasks, notes and projects.

Forget Outlook’s to-do lists and other task managers. All they do is help generate long to-do lists that never get done and make you feel miserable and overwhelmed with the amount of to-dos and tasks.

Nozbe’s GTD software helps you process your to-do lists and get things done. With Nozbe your to-do lists and projects will shrink very quickly as you will get more done and stay in control!

I am at a convention in Vegas for the next few days so posts may be either non-existent, or rather blurred and non-sensical!

GTD Application OmniFocus Updated

The GTD application OmniFocus has been updated today to version 1.01 Sneaky Peak.

OmniGroup have two trains of updates now for the OmniFocus application. By default, your installation of OmniFocus will ask you to upgrade to the latest version when it is released. This is classed as the Sneaky Peek Build Train. On this train you will get minor updates as they are released from OmniGroup.

The second update train is to just get the major versions, and the next one will be version 1.01 Final. As the default is to get the Sneaky Peak updates, to disable this, and only get the major updates, you have to exit from OmniFocus and enter the following command:

defaults remove com.omnigroup.OmniFocus OSUVisibleTracks

So far in the Sneaky Peak update it is mainly bug fixes and no new functionality has been released. Obviously I am following this very closely and will report when new features are available within OmniFocus.

YouTube to your iPhone or iPod – Tooble

I love YouTube, and have done since I first discovered it years ago. Now one of the annoyances with YouTube is that it does not allow you to download your movies locally.

I have, and love my iPhone and I know that I can use the inbuilt YouTube application to watch any YouTube video I want. However, I need to be really connected to a WiFi network in order for this to work as GPRS access is too slow for YouTube.

There are so many great GTD videos, such as the ones on the Online Nozbe GTD App that I would love the ability to download these and put these on my iPhone so that I can watch them at my leisure.

Well, I have now discovered a Mac application called Tooble. Tooble is a one stop shop for YouTube to iPod/iPhone video integration.

Tooble lets you browse, search and download any video from YouTube and put it on your iPod, iPhone or Apple TV. You can also save them to watch on your computer.

Tooble automatically converts YouTube video to MP4 format and then sends them to iTunes so that the next time you plug in your iPod or iPhone they’ll be there for you to watch.

This is currently only available for Mac but the site does state that a Windows application is coming soon.

Boost your Productivity with MindManager – Free Webinar

I am a real advocate of Mind Mapping.

I have just read on the MindJet Blog about an upcoming Free Webinar on the 7th of February that covers Boosting your Productivity with MindManager.

Here is the blurb from the MindJet Website..

Don’t we all want to work smarter, think creatively, and save time? One of the challenges most of us have is getting a handle on all the ideas, plans, and implementation details, as well as organizing them and sharing them with others.

In this session, we will see a demonstration of MindManager from Mindjet and how it can help us improve strategic alignment, bring products to market faster, and shorten project timelines to drive business performance.

You have to register for the Webinar and more information can be found at the MindJet Website.

I will be signing up for the event although I normally watch them after the event due to the time differences in the UK. It is free, and no doubt we will all learn something.
