1. Chaos Intellect 4; My work is people centric. Besides the basics, the support is quick and the program is solid.
2. AskSam; Easiest program for me to throw data into the is client specific without having to finagle the inbox. Also, easiest to find data.

1. A pen
2. A piece of scrap paper that will fit into my shirt pocket
3. My wife
When the gray bandwidth allows, I try to replace #3 with some software, usually a calendar program that sends e-mail reminders. This switchout frees up my wife for more important things in life, like enjoying it with me. ;)

P.S. I just noticed this morning that in the latest version of MyInfo it is possible to paste in links to Evernote notes. It’s good to have two of my favorite programs on speaking terms with each other.

Dr Andus, you obviously provided the speck of dust that started the rain; the forum clouds were ready and waiting :-)
I’ll cheat, as usual, and answer for different situations:
[A] Working by myself on a major plan
1. Brainstorm for writing in ‘detail’ mode
2. MindView for mindmaps, plus organising and outputting the semi final text
3. MS Word for final formatting+graphics
[B] Collaboration
1. Google Apps Mail
2. Google Apps Calendar
3. Google Apps Drive/Docs
[C] Overview
1. Pen and paper for accionable info
2. Evernote for non-accionable info (so that I get it off my head)
3. Klok for time reporting (to myself)
