After reading this quick review and that you found the application worthwhile... I took another look. Plus, if it's saves even a few minutes of time each time I post to a blog.. I'm in. I have 20 blogs and posting can become a chore... especially when I'm trying to get in some great new Public Domain content. Sometimes that WP editor doesn't just love my copy/paste. Thanks for sharing your review. I tried ScribeFire last year and wasn’t impressed.

I've since made the utterly life-changing step of turning off my email and checking only a few times during the workday. It's made me conscious of how much of my workflow (if one could have called it that) was driven by email. Now I'm on the the GTD book....if there's only one similarly transformative tip in there, I'll be thrilled! I finally watched this, and I’m so glad I did.

I now try to keep my inbox to under ten messages at the end of the day. I've also started using Remember The Milk for my GTDish task list app and it's working pretty well. It's not perfect, what I would really need is an always connected, moleskin size Kindle like device for ubiquitous capture and recall. Hmm... that sounds a lot like an iPhone...
