Software

Getting Organized

Evernote- Useful for clipping things from the web and keeping personal notes; take a picture of a wine bottle label on your mobile phone and have it automatically store the text (searchable)

OneNote- For work notes. I fooled around with using Evernote for both but have settled in to a separate place for work notes.

Gmail/Outlook- Gmail for personal, outlook at work (I use tasks from both but like to keep them separate)

Google Reader-

Google Calendar- Pulls everything together; google tasks, work + personal calendars, reminders. Update event details and you’ve got yourself a quasi-journal.

Backups / Utilities

Dropbox- Love it. Sync work-personal laptops, media player at home (send torrents/.nzb files from anywhere and have your media player automatically pull them in).

Mobile

I’m aiming to make the switch from an iPhone over to Android when I get the chance.. can’t stand iTunes (can I just upload an mp3 for christ’s sake?) and the time it takes to move from one task to another. Nonetheless I will miss Instapaper
Adjusting to a Blackberry given to me for work… actually like it a lot!
Waiting around for a good time to jump in to an Android

Utilities

Snagit- Got in to this one from work and love it for screenshots/mockups

Miscellaneous

G.Flux- Makes me a weirdo at the office but I think it’s cool

Instapaper- Life changer. This one I have a hard time believing when people tell me they’ve never used it or heard of it. Might have to abandon it for Read It Later if I go Android but have nothing but good things to say about the design of this little beast.

IFTTT- personal workflows
