Productivity, Part 2

I want to get going with Thing 8, but I'm waiting for it to not be raining when I get home so I can take some video of my backyard.  (The house is still new-to-me, so it's all very exciting.)  I've been reading through other people's Thing 7's in the meantime, and so many people love Evernote that I decided to give it a whirl.

Well, I set it up this morning, and I've done squat with it, but I have a feeling (especially since my Outlook at home has a weird crash-bug that sometimes eats my notes in it) that it's got quite a bit of potential.

What I did learn from trying Evernote out was how to install the app on my Windows Mobile-based phone.  (It was surprisingly painless, other than having to use a micro-SD/USB adapter to get the file onto my phone in the first place.)

Thing 7

I'm bad about remembering to stop and do things on the way home (my autopilot doesn't turn off easily), so I figured I would look at Remember the Milk.  Signing up was easy, and I started poking around the site.

As soon as I got to the map tab, I laughed.  This?  Quite familiar, for reasons entirely unrelated to work.  That link?  A screenshot of the log and map from World of Warcraft that tracks what quests your character is working on, how much you've completed, and where you need to go to complete them.  Knowing how well that set-up works for optimizing time use in-game (doing geographically clustered tasks at the same time), this could be quite useful, if I needed to run a bunch of errands and wanted to map them out with a checklist.  On the other hand, I'm not sure my life is complicated enough to need mapping out errands.
