Welcome to ActivityOwner.com -- a site focused on the use MindManager macros, ResultsManager dashboards, and GyroQ tags for personal productivity and Getting Things Done.
I have been personal and corporate user of ResultsManager since March 2005. This site is my way of trying contribute something back to the internet community as well as to to organize my understanding of GTD and management. The MindReader, Outlinker, Mark Task Complete, Next Action Analysis, and Map2Excel add-ins are worth a look and can be installed by downloading setup programs.
Readers here have provided great ideas and tips along the way, so be sure to search or read through the archives and add to the comments. You can follow developments on the site by subscribing to email updates or by following the site on RSS, Twitter, or Facebook. This is a non-commercial site and is not affiliated with Gyronix, Mindjet, or the David Allen Company. You can contact me at info@activityowner.com.
