Office and Business Productivity

Since a few weeks I have been following the #GTD hash on twitter and there are a lot of questions of which (web based) software to use.  Therefore I have taken some screenshots of my RememberTheMilk configuration so you can actually see the difference between the default RememberTheMilk and the customized one. The customization is done with some Greasemonkey scripts. Hence, they only work on a Firefox based browser.

In my RTM configuration I use 3 Greasemonkey scripts.

1. Remember The Milk – Tag Cloud Colorizer
2. Remember The Milk – Keep Cloud Visible
3. Remember The Milk – display keyboard shortcuts

Here is a screenshot (Figure1) of how my RememberTheMilk looks without any customization.  As a lot of people on Twitter said, and I must agree, it is doesn’t look very user friendly if you actually follow all levels of responsibilities. (Actions, Projects, Areas of responsibility, Goals, Vision, Life goals).

Then this is a screenshot (Fiigure2) of the same page but with the Greasemonkey scripts activated.

What do you need to do to have this view?

• Create a free account to use RememberTheMilk : http://www.rememberthemilk.com
• Get Firefox if you don’t have it yet http://www.mozilla.com
• Download and install Greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
• Install the Greasemonkey scripts :
  • Remember The Milk – Tag Cloud Colorizer : http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25046
  • Remember The Milk – Keep Cloud Visible : http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25050
  • Remember The Milk – display keyboard shortcuts : http://userstyles.org/styles/1623

You have to customize the Tag cloud Colorizer, but it is DEFINITELY worth it.

Good Luck with these scripts and more luck and enjoy Getting Things Done!
