    Processing Email with Dispatch and Postbox

    by

    Email is likely the biggest inbox you deal with on a daily basis. If you’re like me, email may make up the 3 biggest inboxes you deal with every day. You hear about those people who maintain an Inbox 0 status daily, and you hate them (go ahead, admit you do). But do you know…

    Should you use Nozbe or Todoist?

    by

    Going into 2015 I needed to make a change to my productivity and workflow tools. Redbooth, my primary tool for 2014, was decent (see my big review) but was missing a few things that I found more and more annoying as time went by. In no particular order, these were the ‘big’ problems for me:…

    Bidsketch Review

    by

    Today we’re looking at Bidsketch, another tool I loved in 2014. We’ve all written estimates for clients right? My early process worked, but involved a number of steps and proved to be time-consuming. When I needed to create a new estimate, I would use Pages along with a template I pulled from somewhere or other. Once…

    Before we jump in to this review I want to remind you that if you choose use the same tools I do, there is no guarantee you will get the same results as me. My reviews are intended to show you how I used the tool and what I loved/hated about it. If you pick…

  • How Evernote took over my life

    How Evernote took over my life

    by

    I grabbed Evernote when it first came out and even thought it was a decent tool, but it never found a permanent place in my software life. The thing that really blew my mind when I first saw it years ago was the text detection in images. It seemed like something out of future science fiction. I…

Darth Plagueis takes places starting a while before Star Wars Episode I and finishes as Palpatine is elected Supreme Chancellor of the senate. We get to see Palpatine’s master and…

    Solo Review – it’s a short review

    by

    I mentioned a few weeks back that I was maybe looking at a new invoicing software. Then Ronin went and got purchased by Godaddy and my move was sealed. One of my first stops on the way was Thrive Solo. I had tried the app a few years back and remembered thinking it was nice…

    Ronin Review – Invoicing and Time Tracking for Samurai’s

    by

    There are so many billing systems out there and it’s hard to know which one is right for you. I’ve been using Ronin for about a year now and here is my review. It should be noted that I started this review before I found out Ronin was acquired by Godaddy. Had Ronin been a…
