ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

I just wanted do a quick “two-minute action” post on some updates to add-ins on the site over the past few weeks. Most have been discussed in the comments but merit an announcement. Post below if you have questions or are experiencing any problems or just want to let me know you still use the […]

I wanted to provide an update on my project of converting tools on the activityowner.com site to MindManager Add-ins. The wiki.activityowner.com now has three independent stand-alone add-ins installs with domains that point to them: http://wiki.activityowner.com/index.php?title=MindReader, http://wiki.activityowner.com/index.php?title=Mark_Task_Complete http://map2excel.com, and of course http://wiki.activityowner.com/index.php?title=OutLinker.

Nik Tipler recently did a webinar with the GTD Study Group on using ResultsManager and GyroQ. You can watch the video of the webinar here. It has also been added as a link on the wiki ResultsManager Resources page.
