No I don’t mean drawing goofy things on a piece of paper. I mean using the site/service Doodle to help you plan a meeting:
So, lately, I’ve found myself informally assuming this role, driving a surprising number of gone-fallow projects just by using Doodle to propose a simple check-in. The bottom line is that this […]

Glen over at LifeDev does it again. I’m a huge fan of Basecamp and the other web-based apps by 37Signals. Thing is I think, like many folks, I don’t begin to tap into their full potential, or even to use them to really help me in the whole GTD process. Well, Glen got some advice […]
