The 31Mar08 version of OutLinker I posted about yesterday had a last minute bug introduced. See comments on previous post for instructions to fixing your queue if needed. The latest version (1Apr08) is a roll-back that should work better. My apologies.

In these cases it can be handy to convert this […]
On the GTD-MIndManager Yahoo Group, Rob asked: One area I have always struggled is in creating an effective report, this is becoming a major issue as due to a change of manager I now have to submit these weekly. I’d like to be able to produce a report showing all active projects and some form […]
