Getting Things Done. It’s a mantra worth paying some attention to. Dave Allen started it - he wrote a book, mainly for managers I think, but it’s given a huge number of time-poor project-rich geeks a new lease on life as well. Just google for GTD and you’ll find a lot of them blogging about it. Some of the tools Izeal is working on are going to help people Get Things Done, and I’ll certainly let you know about them after we launch.
Here are my first two GTD hints.
First hint: If you haven’t done so already, read the book! Reading people blogging about the book is insufficient! It really is worth reading cover to cover, particularly if you feel you don’t have time to read it!
Second hint: If you have already read the book, are comfortable with writing in WikiMarkup and are looking for a cool, free, browser based tool to help you manage your stuff, try this one, or this one, or this one. Actually, try all three, and stick with the one you like. The good news is that they’re all adaptions of TiddlyWiki, which means that moving items from one to another isn’t going to be too difficult.

TiddlyWiki Rocks! And I haven’t even read the book or used TiddlyWiki. But looking at it is enough, right?
I’m a big fan of Kinkless, on OS X.
If you’re into GTD 43 Folders is worth a look. It’s not entirely populated by disciples of DA, so there’s a few points of view and quite a bit of good stuff on there.
