7 Apps for Online Note Taking
If you’re like most of us, you deal with piles of unstructured information every day: phone numbers, ideas for later consideration, snippets of information from the web, recipes, phone messages…the list is endless. For the web worker, moving this information into an online notebook can be an attractive proposition. Rather than tie yourself to one computer, or even one operating system, you can get at your notes from anywhere that has a web browser handy. Not surprisingly, there are a fair number of choices in this arena these days.

Strategies for keeping your inbox under control
For most of us, e-mail has become a primary means of communication—which means that we have an ever-expanding list of messages to read and process. To keep from being overwhelmed, first figure out how to keep your inbox under control, and then decide on other details of e-mail organization. As with organizing your files, choosing strategies to implement will depend on whether you prefer to find a place for each message or to rely primarily on searches to sift through your mail.
Offline access to your online applications
This could be pretty useful if you use mostly online applications ala Basecamp, gmail, and Gcal.
A team of AJAX experts is working on a new capability to enable Web applications to work offline.Brad Neuberg, a San Francisco-based software architect and programmer, said that he, along with the support of some developers at SitePen, of Palo Alto, Calif., is working on the Dojo Offline Toolkit, a small, cross-platform, generic download that allows Web applications to work offline. The tool kit is based on the popular Dojo Toolkit, an Asynchronous JavaScript and XML development system maintained by the Dojo Foundation. Major companies such as IBM and Sun Microsystems are members of the Dojo Foundation.
"I had been prototyping and playing with some ideas around bringing true offline access to Web applications in a simple, generic way," Neuberg said.
To accomplish his goals, Neuberg said he will be working for the next three months "on bringing the Dojo Offline Toolkit from the drawing board to reality."
The tool kit will be an open-source library that brings true, offline access to Web applications, where "users will be able to access their Web applications and work with their data even if no network connection is available, just like desktop applications," Neuberg said.

Do you end the day wishing for more hours? If this describe you, there are ways to get more from your day without having to need more hours. Time management is a very important skill for anyone working in a flex-based environment. For mobile workers it can be the difference between sanity and insanity.Creating and keeping a schedule will require some effort initially but once you get into this routine, it will become second nature to make plans and stay organized. You will need to breakdown your activities based upon Work and Home/Chores.
If you analyze the time spent doing various activities over a period of one or two weeks, you will see patterns developing. Those patterns are what you need to track. They will be either time wasters or maximum use of time.
