Where my experiment left me…

I recently posted about my new attempts to use the online task management software (here).

Honestly the only way I found to really get back on track with the deficiencies of the tools was to revert back to good 'ol pen and paper.  There is something extremely rewarding about writing things down and see them checked off.  You are never fighting the tool.  When I'm using an electronic tool I'm always wanting it to do one more thing than is really does.  Then I look for workarounds, then I just live with it, but all the while knowing that what I want is possible, but just not in this tool.

The pencil and paper system like I wrote about previously are rock solid systems that really just work.  They take all the focus off the system and just getting things done.  I can highly recommend it.

And all of that said I have finally found an electronic system that pretty much just works (well 98%).  More on that next time.
