| Short details | Bontq is an online bug and issue-tracking system that provides an easy way to manage projects, add tasks, and store all documentation. This application also makes use of a cross-platform desktop client to record videos and capture screenshots. |
Nirvana has evolved into an excellent personal GTD and GTD solution, worth looking at. Particularly nice is its ability to pause or schedule projects (and all tasks within them) and designate project steps as sequential or simultaneous. You can also star tasks to create an instant "must do today" list as taught in TRO Online training. |
