Productivity
Written by Matt Handal   
I wrote a little post about how to manage all your stuff across multiple computers. I guess a couple people liked it or at least found it interesting. Here are some links to applications and services that will help you along the way. Everything here is either free or pretty cheap. I use everything with a *.
 
The single best productivity tool money can buy (in my opinion)  
  
David Allen Co. "Getting Things Done Outlook" Plug-in - its about $70 but worth it even if you are cheap *
 
 
 
  
Applications for Controlling your mail, calendar, and to do lists 
 
Microsoft Outlook (Windows- you can find this for around $70 on ebay, but most likely you have it at work already) *
 
 mail.app (mac) and iPhone Mail (this is just mail.app for the iphone) *
 
iCal (mac) and iPhone Calendar   *
 
 
Toodledo App for iPhone (I think this is like $5) * 
 
Adobe Air ToodleDo Desktop Application (crossplatform) - Go to my Downloads section for this! 
 
 
 
 
Syncing your to do list 
 
 
 

Syncing your calendar 
 
Apple Mobile Me service (also works with Microsoft Outlook on windows) - this is about $100 a year, but if you have a mac...it is a must buy in my opinion *
 
Plaxo (this is a service that has a free option and a $60 a year option. I have the $60 a year option, but with mobileme I don't really need it. Plaxo is owned by comcast now so it might be completely free in the near future). *
 
IMAP Email Account to forward all your email accounts to (i.e. controlling all your email from one spot.)
 
Apple Mobile Me service - IMAP account can be set up in outlook ( i prefer to control all my email from outlook on windows and mail.app on my macs)  *
 
Google Gmail (gmail is free) 
 
Tool for capturing notes, ideas, and (non-to do) lists
 
Evernote (mac, windows, iPhone, and web)*

 That's it. Maybe I'll explain my set up in more detail at another junction. I know it seems complicated, but its not. Feel free to check out these tools if you want to see all the same emails, appointments, and to do lists on all your computers and phones.
 
P.S. David Allen, the productivity guru, uses Lotus Notes. From what i hear that works across windows, mac, iphone, and Blackberry. I've never worked somewhere that had Lotus Notes so I can't speak to its use.

That link is to the toodledo forum post where a user posted his adobe air app. Sorry about the confusion. You can also get the app from my downloadable resources section under "productivity."

The download at the URL you provided is not an actual .air application. Am I missing something?
