Yes I know, not a post for a long time and my poor excuse of lots of travel and being so busy I haven't had a weekend to myself without work for the last two weeks will not cut the mustard. Once you have a blog you should write something. Simple as that. So until now I haven't had lots of useful things to say apart from gargling noises and looking like I need more sleep. On the upside my face is looking normal again after my Friday the 13th accident (which you can read about in the earlier post) and also I will be at home for at least the next two weeks without interruption - so I promise to write some more posts.
What caused my sudden return to the keyboard today is this most awesome application which proposes to solve all my troubles about being organised AND working on more than 10 things at once - both of whom are pre-requisites of my new role, but equally a source of continuous headache and a lasting challenge to any GTD application, a few of which I have put to the test previously on this blog. Some I also liked a lot in the beginning, but their lack of a useful calendar and seamless integration with that oh so useful medium most digital applications shy away from, namely paper - make them fall into oblivion in the long run.
Along comes this amazing application called Scrybe - it has a very fluid calendar built in, which not only recognises time and dates when typed in normally (forget stupid pull down menus), but can also create calendars featuring several timezones simultaneously and fluidly moving between all of them. Recently I have been spending some time in the US and of course my clunky Outlook calendar has all my meetings occurring in the middle of the night, which has me permanently confused of what the correct time is - wonder no longer, put Scrybe to the test and watch all those troubles disappear. It also lets you print little pocket-sized versions of your calendar so you can have your latest to-do list with you in your pocket everywhere you go and scribble on it whenever you need.
Moreover, it has a great way of making task lists from any content you copy into it, by dragging a task onto a time and date, it automatically gets the time allocated to it, but what I love the most is the way Scrybe lets you browse the Internet and create Thought pages, a clip book of images, text and links you find and store those under their own topic rather than an eclectic mix of favourites lists with website links, but no way of ordering the information.
The beauty of it all is that it is all on-line - you don't have to install a thing and it also works offline. You make the changes you want and next time you are back on-line it syncs it all..check out all the functionality in the movie below. Aaah. Genius!
Thank you for sharing the information. Nice video!
