    I recommend this book (and the free Nozbe implementation) because it has been an incredible help to me managing the demands of a daily podcast, travel, day job, and home responsibilities. Please give it a try – I think that you will find that after 30 days, you will be more productive, feel more in control, and better able to manage your day to day tasks.

      iPhone Additions – First Reaction

      by Andrew McCaskey
      With a grand total of maybe twenty minutes experimenting with the new firmware that arrived overnight for the iPhone, I have to say that I like what I see.

      Two things stand out – the use of the location service with maps as a backup for a dedicated GPS unit while on foot, and the flexibility of the new menu system on the iPhone that lets you pull out a section of a web page, make an icon of it, and move it to the front “page” of the iPhone.

      This makes it easy to set up my Nozbe account in its own icon, and then move it directly to the front of the phone – for quick reference and no drill down through log in screens. It looks like it will provide a number of such screens that I can flip through, customizing to my heart’s content among various sites that I either administer or frequent.

      The enhanced map location will be a lot more discrete to consult than the separate GPS unit – alhtough the dedicated unit is obviously much more desirable for full time installation in the car. I’ll give a more detailed report the next trip into Chicago or Indianapolis.

      Lots of folks are giving Nozbe a look – and here is the Amazon link to the David Allen GTD book that will make sense of it all. The best $9.00 you will ever spend.
