I am writing this from a new tool I just installed on my work laptop to be able to post from my blog without logging in to the web interface to wordpress. The tool is w.bloggar. I am trying this out for a few reasons: It will let me blog on items I see in…

It occurred to me tonight that I have been investing a lot oft time getting myself organized so that I can know what I have going on.  From integrating GTD into my personal system, to adopting Mind Manager and OneNote, there are lots of tools and techniques that I have picked up so I can…
