ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

When we left off in Part 4, we were getting started on the initial next actions of a "funnel timeline" project plan for addressing task date issues in MindManager 9: The goal of this series of posts is to both work through the MindManager 9 task date issue and to attempt to provide a working [...]

In order to celebrate the recent release of MindManger 9, the MindManager Setup Tips page on wiki.activityowner.com has been updated. There are a few legacy items that may apply more to MindManager 7 and 8. The list of 13 tips for ResultsManager and GyroQ setup has also been updated. Click here to visit the top [...]
