New Apps of Interest
7/17/2019
I've been playing around with Clickup too and I see it as a direct competitor to the modern group project managers like Monday, Wrike, Smartsheet, Asana etc. Though it's ability to customize the feat...
New Apps of Interest

I'm under the impression it's on v2, as most the help docs refer to that and they describe exactly what I'm using. I've been playing around with it and am having trouble finding any reference to the ...
Notion.io is my new favorite
6/18/2019
First, Garland Coulson is a dang cool name!
I'm intrigued at how much success you've had using it as CRM. I keep wavering between migrating some of our shared work excel lists to Airtable or Notio...

Subscription as investment
5/13/2019
This made me smile. I've tried to make myself like markdown a few times thinking that if so many others that I respect think it's so great, then there must be something I'm missing. Though it's very l...
Coda.io?
5/9/2019
I've looked into it a few times as Notion has made me interested in this new breed of cloud-based, blocks-not-docs apps.
Though I haven't dove deep into it my impressions:
Coda seems to be targeted ...

The Checklist Manifesto
5/3/2019
This is a deceptively deep topic. Checklists are inherently dead simple concepts but knowing when and how to apply them is really complex. I did enjoy that book and it's a great primer on why checkli...
Anyone using Zettelkasten?
4/12/2019
I don't use an ubiquitous Zettelkasten, where every topic has a zettel code, but I'm a fan of using Z-codes as robust linking between systems. I have a Z-code generator on hotkey, just a date-time st...

Apps that offer cloning of notes
1/30/2019
Paul J Miller's extensive note-taker reviews explain cloning/transclusion pretty well. Here's a good example: https://pauljmiller.wordpress.com/2018/10/23/a-comparative-review-of-four-note-taking-pro...

Ora - Task Management
1/25/2019
Thanks for the link, this looks interesting. I'm always a bit turned off by the tools that are built for team integration. Not because that makes them worse, it's because I'm a loner and want to ke...

OneNote finally has custom tagging
1/21/2019
Just an FYI, as this is a pretty big leap in functionality of the 'universal' version. Of course the original Windows desktop version has had this feature forever, but it was trapped within one PC in...

GQueues Question

Ditto what Alexander said.
I haven't used it for a while either but remember those smart queues being able to show custom views that crossed over different queues and hierarchy levels.
