A year ago I wanted a better way to outline books for review purposes, and wrote about The Fast Book Outliner (FBO). I used it on a few book outlining projects, and while it was an improvement I still found that it still felt physically awkward to use. If I’m reading a book, the note-taking [...]
I was putting together a development plan and bid for a new project, and found myself using my Gantt Chart Spreadsheet, weekly version to visualize how the project might take. That’s when I discovered that I hadn’t set it up for an arbitrary starting date. So I fixed it. The new weekly version is available [...]
A4 Version of Fast Book Outliner

After my initial tests, I thought it was too cumbersome for my own needs, but a few die-hard project managers out there still use it. The latest request was a couple weeks ago, so I’ve shamed myself [...]
A couple of requests came in for a weekly version of the Gantt Excel spreadsheet. As it happens, I’d solved a similar problem a couple months ago when making the spreadsheets for my Groundhog Day Resolutions review day 3. So I dropped in the logic from those spreadsheets into the Gantt Excel spreadsheet, et voila! [...]
With the help of the testers in my super-secret A5 Testing Lounge, I’ve created a set of smaller-sized Emergent Task Planner sheets in both A5 and US Memo (aka “half letter”, which is a piece of US Letter folded in half). Because everyone had different needs, I ended up making three variations of it; in [...]
