So far my setup is To Do with Toodledo which works well with Appigo's Notebook. Entering Notebook info from the web is vital to me. I have the calendar synched with Google calendar, which also synchs my personal and work computers. I do have Evernote, but haven't found it extremely useful yet. I'll be checking out Anxiety and Jott. Thanks for the recommendations!

Seems pretty cool. BTW: Windows Live Mail is also free and is same useful and even more comfortable than Gmail and Gcal, in my opinion, of course.

While you couldn't implement his system completely in your line of work, you could look at his sections on elimination and simplifying, and other similar tools for simplifying your work. @Susan: I hear you, but if you look at Tim’s book as a collection of tools, you can pick and choose the ones that work for you.

This is simply undeniable. I can't, as a college administrator, outsource my email to some guy in India-- it just isn't professionally possible. Also, he spends little time actually considering the impact of his 'system' on other people and on the larger world, and doesn't even stop for five seconds to ask himself is people actually *need* his protein powder. I am sort of surprised, given hoe balanced and thoughtful your approach is, that you'd embrace something so limited and ego driven as 4HWW.

How do you think a business grows? One person can only do so much, no matter how many gadgets and reminders and to-do lists he makes ;-) Outsourcing and/or utilizing a team of whatever model you choose is the foundation for growing a business. Even famous writers who surely work "solo" into the wee hours of the night eventually had to delegate the many other tasks that make their empires run. It's not for everyone, but outsourcing is a totally legitimate way to "get things done." All kinds of things, including even some of your core business activities believe it or not. Just as a Virtual Assistant or a an Online Business Manager or anyone who works as a professional contractor. It's happening and it's here to stay. http://snap-va.com/blog Just some more food for thought.
