I work for a Cisco partner company and they gave me the sales pitch. On paper they look great, but I'm also looking for real life experiences with them. So far, not many reviews on them. Hoping someone here has tried them already...

How come no one has mentioned the Pomodoro Technique? I started using it about a month ago, and I can tell you it's been my most productive month ever. I use the Pomodoro for Mac app to keep track of time. They recommend 25 minutes work blocks, with 5 minutes in between and 10 minutes every 4 blocks.

I found out that I prefer 40 minute blocks, with 5 minutes breaks, and then 20 minutes every four blocks to disconnect from everything and relax.

+1. Sync it with iPad, iPhone and Mac OS. Definitely can't live without it.

Nice idea and simple execution. But the color choice is VERY hard on the eyes.

Looks great! Like the theme and after a couple of minutes trying it, I can see its uniqueness.

Do you mind mentioning what gems you are using? The hide/unhide of the child tasks looks good, and also like the dragging to reorganize.

You have 3 options to take a screenshot: Whole screen: Command + Shift + 3 Selection of screen: Command + Shift + 4 Active window: Command + Shit + 4 and then Space Bar

I'm really impressed with the way he imagined the UI, and his way of using dots and the life gauges. You must be a really proud dad, as you definitely seem to be.

Thanks! Just bought the "Ordering Disorder" book from link 4 on Kindle for iPad. That's a great start, doing the first layout seems to be my main problem.

Actually, I was talking more about graphic design than web design per se. As programmers, we mostly know where to put stuff, my problem is when it comes to "prettifying" it for simple projects where it might not be cost-effective to hire a designer.

Thanks for the great suggestion, and unbiased answer. I think that is the path I'm going to take.

Sorry for that, seems my GoogleFu is in need of some work.
