Sometimes it’s unexpected work that comes in and most days it’s people walking I’m my office to chat.

Toodledo is reliable but the UI is so ugly that I resisted using it. Nozbe had a pretty good UI, but was dropping data (gasp). I have permanently settled on OmniFocus. It is beautiful, powerful, and reliable. You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks for the advice. Things was the program I referred to in my earlier post. I’m actually testing out Toodledo now. While I don’t love the interface (hard to beat Things!), is it powerful and syncs well.

I was using a program that has fallen prey to a number of programming glitches from the developer and I’ve been in search of a new tool. It has really hurt my productivity! Anyone have ideas for a good list manager for Mac?

If these people are direct reports you might even keep a running list of who asks the most questions and what they ask about and use the statistics in their reviews to make the point about learning to do their own research.

If they are not direct reports, you can use the same list to talk to their managers about training opportunities or holes….

A very good tip, thanks..

I´m also suffering from people asking about everything.. I will adopt the “Google”-trick at once on monday to the first person who is asking me something.
