I've used most of the scedhuler tools out there (including plain old iCal) but the best one I've found is Things. It's really simple, and seems to have found that magic balance (for me) where it's really easy to learn but still pretty powerful.

It has certainly done wonders for my productivity.

Hope someone else finds it useful too!

Thanks for the tip, InterfaceLeader -- I'll download the trial.

Have you come across any good, low- or no-cost and easy to use customer database programs for Mac?

InterfaceLeader · 08-22-2008, 03:23 PM

Actually no - for the moment I've been printing off contact sheets and keeping them in a file. I think as I get more clients though, that's going to have to change. I'll keep my eye out, and let you know if I find anything good

Have a look at Bento or if you need more FileMaker Pro.

Its really easy

Bento looks perfect for me, thanks!

I have found pen and paper to be the best. Computer and digital devices play a supportive role only in my time management and organising system

I picked up Bento yesterday and I love it! I'm off and running with it. Thanks, jcs!

Things is Great.

And as a Mac only application, it seems not to have a serious rival.
