Getting Things Done with Tracks
January 7th, 2008 — Posted by benedikt — Filed in Other, Ruby on Rails
As my current term at university is crammed with projects, presentations and term papers, it is quite hard to remember every deadline. I was constantly worrying about them and pretty badly needed a way to manage all my tasks. As I mentioned Getthing Things Done on this blog some time ago but hadn’t tried it yet, I decided to give it a chance. I didn’t buy the book by David Allen, but searched for a simple tool to implement GTD in my everyday life. (Rails applications preferred, of course) What I found was Tracks – Doing Things Properly an open source rails app providing everything I needed. Its slick interface makes it easy to manage actions, projects and contexts. Additionally actions can be exported in RSS or iCal format, although I customized the RSS a little to reverse the order and display the due-date.
After using it for about one month now, I really recommend it! No more worrying about forgetting deadlines or entire tasks!
If you want to try Tracks without having to set it up on your own, just contact me and I’ll add an account for you.
Ach, computers… Words are much better, i guess.
That’s pretty interesting, the video uve mentioned – presence – has been used in brazil as a virus. o.o
