GTD with Journler

msanford | Apr 14 2007

Journler is a fantastic piece of software for MacOS X. It is, in fact, so well written and so useful that I won't even bother making any effort at describing it here, other than to say that it (as far as I can tell) does the same thing as an expensive suite like DEVON* but is free, better-designed and has a much more attractive user interface.

Quote:
Elegant, beautiful, powerful. Journler is a place for your thoughts and everything they touch.

Featuring iLife integration, audio and video entries, extensive document importing and instantaneous searching and filtering, not to mention Mail, iWeb and Address Book integration, a dash of blogging and AppleScript and Spotlight support.

Journler is a daily notebook and entry based information manager. Scholars, teachers, students, professors, scientists, thinkers, the business minded and writers of every persuasion use it on a daily basis to connect the written word with the media most important to them.

In concert with iCal, Yojimbo and the two 1 x 2 metre whiteboards in my office, this is my GTD suite on a shoestring, and it's utterly fantastic.

A Little More Please

Submitted by patrickrhone on April 15, 2007 - 6:31am.

Could you please explain a little more why you use both Yojimbo and Journler together. I am a Yojimbo user and, though Journler has a slightly different feature set, at their base they seem very much the same.

Thanks in advance.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
