A google search for ‘free icons’ will find an abundance of these.ġ. A large range of web-based to-do and organising systems.
It is worth trying, even if just to gain a better understanding of how your mind resists and accepts different things to do. This to-do system uses basic psychology to succeed where other systems fail. It’s nice and logical, and also replicable on an iPhone (as Home Screen Bookmarks or apps).
Personally, each day I start at one end of the dock and just work my through it. A name and icon that suits me and makes intuitive sense is the key thing I need in a system, as is the ability to rearrange these icons into an order that makes the most sense to me. There is also some image references and starred email I also need, and they can be mixed in. I use Google Docs a lot, so individual documents can have their own name and picture. You just open the app and put in a URL, and the icon and name you want to call it. With Fluid it doesn’t matter what provider you use (or use for multiple things). And if you’re picky like me, it’s unlikely any one system will contain everything you need, set out just as you like. Some things just work for you and are easy. I have to-do list programs, email programs, calendars, schedules, online checklists, reminders, reference material – all doing different parts of my efficiency system. The reason it works so well for me is that – as this field is evolving so fast – it seems inevitable that you would change the apps and sites you use for different needs.
It’s a mac only app that turns web pages into individual programs, that can then sit in your dock. The answer for true To-Do productivity came for me from the Fluid app ( ).
