ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

Before the days of OutLinker, I optimized my inbox by diverting “bulk mail” to a separate OutLook folder for reading “in bulk” at a later time rather than having them provide mid-day distraction or swelling an otherwise full inbox. In this case I’m referring to legitimate bulk mail from vendors I’m largely interested in hearing […]

Awhile back an OutLinker user ran into trouble transferring a large Microsoft OutLook message into MindManager via GyroQ. We determined the shear size of the transfer was the problem. We don’t know precisely how big is too big, but in order to minimize the risk of that happening, OutLinker now has an upper limit on […]

If you are a MindManager user and have wanted to give these tools a try in the past, […]

I just noticed that today (December 3rd) is OutLinker‘s 1 year anniversary, at least by its current name. It evolved from a set of macros that Mike over at nodeglue.com had created. It has changed my work practices significantly, with an empty inbox at home and work becoming more the norm than the previous rare […]
