App-rich, but org-poor
Since getting back from vacation I’ve been in a “clean up and declutter” mode. This has ranged from cleaning up my desk to re-evaluating the tools I use. The former was easy, the latter is much, much harder. Like many powerusers, I have more programs and widgets than I know what to do with, and more importantly, more than I remember to use.
I want to try to streamline things…find the best program for a given purpose and stick with it. it’s things like DevonTHINK Pro vs. Yojimbo or Flock vs. Camino vs. Firefox…that sort of thing. I’m tired of living in app-rich but organization-poor environment.
What tools to you use? How do you keep it all organized? What are the most important tricks and hacks you use to make your life easier?

Flock has definitely helped me organize now I’ve started blogging and the Blog+ add-on is great.
I still struggle with my disparate address books so I’m hoping HighriseHQ will help with that. I also use sidejobtrack to keep my DMWebsites projects in check. Ma.gnolia for my bookmarks and ClaimID for my profiles etc.
Is that too many?

Airset is rockin’. It even has a doodad that will sync with a PDA. It is my ideal web-based groupware, allowing for multiple users to access the same calendar, make appointments and see them instantly show up, make as many different calendars as you want to “slice up” your events – these are my work events, these are my home events, these are my left-handed paper-hanging focus group events. Whatever. I love it! Airset rocks!
