Best PIM for project management?
4/23/2012
I doubt if it is better than My Life Organized or Achieve Planner, but if you're still looking for another option, check out Task Coach. It is free and multiplatform, including an iOS version:

Best PIM for project management?
4/23/2012
Not that this is the answer you were looking for Dr Andus, but here's an unorthodox suggestion for a project manager: Scrivener.
I haven't yet really tried this in practice, I've just considered it i...
Best PIM for project management?

The first app that came to mind when I read your question is MyInfo. I think you'll find it easier and more intuitive to use than UltraRecall -- at least that's my experience with the two. The reason ...
Liquid Story Binder

I had a license for a previous version of Liquid Story Binder, but haven't used the application in several years. My experience of it is that all those great tools are not well integrated. For example...
most facile outliner

If you haven't tried Noteliner yet, you might give it a try. It has a lot of built in functions for task management, which, if you don't need them, might make you think twice about the application. Bu...
TheBrain 7 Beta
4/13/2012
I can't speak for if the function has been improved, as I've never tried this before. However, I did just export to a "site brain" from TheBrain 7 and it appears to work like a charm in Internet Explo...

I am very gratified that James Fallows has written a lovely post about my software chronicles:

Congratulations on the Mac. Let us know what related applications you choose....
Don't know if anyone noticed this, but I thought it was interesting that CintaNotes now costs $10... though you can continue using the previous version free. This makes sense and $10 is a bargain as f...

Thank you for the nice comments, Dr Andus.

Help With Connected Text

And as a quick follow up, I'm not suggesting that ConnectedText is the best choice if you need that kind of "field" data. A real database probably is. But attributes and properties can extend the use ...

Manfred Kuhn has a few posts about how he uses attributes and properties, especially this one where he writes about trying to get CT to replicate some of the function of the old program Lotus Agenda:

FWIW, I just put together a blog posting that, I hope, explains a little better the approach to building this simple quotation database in ConnectedText. You can find the posting here: http://wp.me/pa...

Daly,
I still am a bit of a novice myself, so this advice might not be what you would get from one of the pros on the Forum, but here's what I would do:

Retrospective outlining
4/1/2012
This is an interesting topic. It relates to a feeling I've long had about outliners, namely that the ones which of restrict your outline to individual blocks of text are not really outliners at all. T...
Retrospective outlining

There is an application called Writer's Blocks which may do this. The program has been around for quite some time, and had been stalled at version 3.0 for at least six or seven years. But recently, ve...
mac/ipad outliner links

The two programs Julia (the reviewer) left out that are significant outliners for Mac are Tinderbox (and its little brother Twig) and Neo. In my view Tinderbox is generally the best outliner for Mac, ...

Hi, Bill,
So I just did an experiment on OneNote here at my day job to put your methodology to the test and it does work quite well. I never had the need to export OneNote documents to Word before. T...
