A serious hooray for stickies

What a great way to get everything in front of me.

I've fiddled with all sorts of productivity tools and systems. My favorite hope which I've since mostly abandoned is Getting Things Done by David Allen.

I've now downloaded Stickies, free software, available at http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk. It's completely disorganized organization, but that's exactly what I was looking for.

I want to start disorganized. I want to enter notes in the absolute most basic and messy way possible. Then I can put the pieces together how I want to afterward.

Getting organized. By starting with disorganization. I love it.

Another feature that I'm super jazzed about is the ability to add images to the notes. I found out quickly however that you can't have both images and notes in the same sticky.

Oh. The sticky that does have the image pasted into it? You can quickly crop the image by selecting a portion and pressing enter, make notations on the graphic itself and save it if you choose to (as PNG or BMP). That will make for quick documentation, I think, when working on web projects. A quick screen shot, and even faster crop, then a quick note to go with it and save. Sweet.
