Eric Mack will discuss productivity with the DC Lotus User Group next Wednesday, November 17th. Eric supplements his deep background in Lotus Notes with a broad understanding of knowledge management.  His eProductivity application expands the organizational capabilities of Lotus Notes to make it a powerful tool for personal productivity. eProductivity is the only Lotus Notes application to earn the “GTD-Enabled” designation from David Allen. If you’ve been implementing GTD in Notes already, you’ll be amazed how much more streamlined it is with eProductivity.

Highly recommended if you will be in the DC area next week.

MS Office OneNote 2007 is a digital notebook that provides people one place to gather their notes and information, powerful search to find what they are looking for quickly, and easy-to-use shared notebooks so that they can manage information overload and work together more effectively.

ActiveWords is a Windows application that relates words and actions, giving you instant access to what you want, making you more productive, and improving the quality of your work.  (Editors note: ActiveWords was also featured in a podcast by David Allen.) [Read more →]
