How I Use Notebooks. Despite the fact that I do use several apps in my productivity workflow, I have a tendency to use paper a lot as well. As a matter of fact, paper is often my first method of capture for a variety of reasons, such as: It doesn’t require recharging, so it never runs low on juice.There are far fewer limitations to paper; whereas apps on a device do.I can have multiple notebooks available to me (one on my nightstand, one in my jacket, one in my travel case, etc.), which isn’t the case for my devices. But I don’t use them as a means to keep a to-do list. Instead, I use them to ensure that I get the right things done. Paper helps me connect – it has that ever-present feeling about it that gives me the knowledge that capture is just a few pen or pencil strokes away.

Here is what I use notebooks for: Capturing ideas for posts and projectsDoing quick brain dumpsOutliningMind mapping Again, the colours create a firmer connection for me. When a smaller notebook is used up, I’ll recycle it. Online encrypt tool - Online tools. Tinderbox « Welcome to Sherwood. Time to get back to writing about Tinderbox. I’ve been trying to find the ideal set up for managing a day book. Being a constant fiddler, I’ve danced from application to application, but I’ve now determined that Tinderbox will serve this purpose well. Before explaining why, I should define what I mean by “Day Book.” [If you haven't already read my previous entries about Tinderbox, it would be helpful if you did.]

A day book is where I intend to collect miscellaneous chunks of information that are related primarily by their type and date. In Tinderbox I can create prototypes that prompt me for specific bits of data that relate directly to the type of information I am collecting. Image 1: The book note prototype I created for my Tinderbox "Day Book. " You can see from the screen-capture of the book note prototype that I am set to capture the data I want to record about the books I’m reading (or intend to read). Doesn’t look very complicated, does it? Creating a Simple Summary Table. Know of an iOS app that supports "Send to OmniFocus"? Post here! Read It Later Pro now supports Send to OmniFocus (StOF). If you're familiar with Instapaper, it's essentially the same thing, it allows you to bookmark and read material offline. I have both, and since the latest release, have been blown away by how much better RIL is against Instapaper but, as always, YMMV!

Like Instapaper, RIL maintains a very simple interface but also hides an extensive range of features behind actions such as swiping left to right in list view or doing a two-finger tap when reading an article. It also allows you to switch between pure text and graphic modes, which helps when trying to download things such as bulletin board threads etc. for later reading, which often come a cropper in Instapaper. There's also a wide range of connectivity options to other Apps and services, such as Box.net, Delicious, Digg, Evernote, Pinboard, etc. RIL is a universal App and it's currently on sale (40% off). IMHO definitely worth a look! Keyboard shortcuts - Gmail Help. Save time navigating in Gmail by using keyboard shortcuts. Important: Keyboard shortcuts aren't supported by all languages or keyboards.
