“We are all accustomed to the concept of TODO lists.
You might have a shopping list in your pocket right now, or a piece
of paper in the shed with a list of things that need to be done
around the garden. Or when you go to work in the morning, you might
have a morning meeting where your team decides who does what. Or,
like some, you might consider every email you receive as a TODO
item.

“Life — personal life and working life — seems to be
an immense, endless TODO list. Or, worse, two or three or four TODO
lists, probably racing into your head.

“The Internet gave us Facebook, the biggest time waster since
the invention of the television. Can the Internet also provide us
with tricks to manage time properly, rather than wasting it?

“Welcome to the world of project management software, a world
started by the guys at Basecamp (proprietary) and then continued by
free software projects like Fengoffice and then revolutionised by
Apollo.”
