List of time management methods

Here is an alphabetical list of personal productivity / time management methods I stumbled upon. I tried some of them.

• Action Machine
• Autofocus
• DIT (Do It Tomorrow)
• GTD (Getting Things Done)
• Pomodoro technique
• ZTD (Zen To Done)

Please, let me know if you know of another method missing from this list.

Autofocus survey

I’m going to make a survey on how people are using Autofocus. Reading the Autofocus forum at Mark Forster’s site gave me some ideas. Some readers already made informal polls on various subjects, such as

• Personality type (MBTI, Enneagram, etc)
• Occupation
• Time usage (how much time you allocate for it; used for work or for hobby; etc)
• Notations, symbols used
• What changed in your life since using it (this was actually asked by me)

There are some questions I find interesting, including

• Other time managment systems used before (GTD, DIT, etc)
• Satisfaction (perfect, I use it with tweaks, not for me)
• Statistics (tasks done a day – a recurring topic on the forum)
• Use it for something specific (e.g. for writing)
• Do you want to try another system?
• Did you talk any friend into trying it?
• Do you or would you use it in a team setting with co-workers

Feel free to contribute to this list by posting a comment.

Dolgomvan.hu

This is the follow up to my recent post about Facebook (FB) and time management. I searched the existing FB Application stock, and there is only one candidate for the desired purpose.

Dolgomvan.hu is a Hungarian developed web application defined as “GTD-style”. Sadly, there is no sharing your todos or posting of the crossed-out items to your profile/status and that is my main idea. No offline tools at the moment either to edit todos.

I can only see the missing features, but the ease of use is really amazing. It is sympathetic, that in the original version you are given the choice to save your data in xml, to opt-out easily, and they are even preparing the possibility to reach your data through an API.

Give it a try yourself let me know how you liked it.
