Workflowy

As a freelancer and owner of my own business, time is one of my most important resources. The more time I can focus on writing music, the better. But unfortunately there are tons of day-to-day operations to keep things running that need to be done. As a result, I am always very interested in ways to be more productive and efficient, and I imagine that many people who read my blog are as well.I recently stumbled upon a fun and simple web app called Workflowy that I've really enjoyed using for about a week, so I wanted to write up a quick post to share it. Workflowy is essentially an outlining program with the bare minimum of features. What makes it better than other outlining software I've used is how simple and intuitive it is. Working with it is impeccably easy and once I got started I was filling it up with notes and ideas very quickly.Here's their introduction video:There are a lot of ways I've found that it can be used:

• Lists to keep track of things. Such as gear to buy, people who owe me payment, things to do
• Contact sheets
• Spotting notes
• As an easily searchable journal
• Brainstorming new projects
• Taking notes while on a phone call
• Outlining articles, tutorials and blog posts, such as this one.

All of that sounds pretty basic and I'm sure it isn't blowing your mind, and you're probably wondering what the big deal is. The point is that it's so simple to use that you can have everything you could ever need to write down in one place, and have it incredibly organized, without it taking up your entire day just to keep it together.Anyway, I'm having fun playing around with Workflowy. Let me know if you check it out and what you think.
