Mini Review: Backpack

At my work, I have a million little things I need to keep track of. I’ve tried a lot of different solutions, and for varying reasons none of them quite fit. As a newGTDexperimenter, I need a bucket for my stuff. Nothing terribly complicated, just a place that I can get things out of my head, online and in easily manageable form.

Backpack is a great solution for this. It lets you track lists, notes, and reminders. While this seems pretty simple, it allows for tracking a lot of activities. Their website does an excellent job of demonstrating the possibilities.

With Backpack, anywhere I have a net connection, I have access to my lists. Along with backpack, when I’m on one of my macs, I also use theBackpack dashboard widget. It offers quick easy access without hitting a browser. This is a really slick little widget.

I do wish there was a normal desktop application for Backpack that kept things cached on the hard drive when I’m away from a net connection.

If you need to get your life organized, make sure to check out backpack.
