Nobody seems to have time these days and many try to mitigate that by embracing to do lists, GTD, Blackberrys and other productivity thingamajiggers. But you know what? All these things don’t give you more time. Your day is as long (or short) as mine and everyone else’s and no productivity tool or method is going to change that.
Since I’m painfully aware of this problem and the generally short attention span we Web workers seem to have, I decided to try something radical. Rather than write a full-fledged written review, or produce a long-winded screencast, I tried to cram as much information into as little time as possible. I ended up with a just-the-facts review of TaskPaper 2 that’s just over a minute (ex intro and outro).
This might not be something for everyone. I had to cut some corners here and there to fit in what I thought would make up a good represenation of TaskPaper. And a one-minute video cannot possibly replace a detailed, in-depth and full-featured review. But if you’re looking for a concise, trimmed-down and snappy overview of what TaskPaper is about, this might just fit the bill. In fact, watching this screencast is even faster than downloading the app, installing it and trying it out yourself.
Click the image below to launch the video. And if you like what you see, there are some excellent, more comprehensive reviews of TaskPaper to be found on the Web. I recommend hopping over to Smoking Apples and TUAW.
If you enjoy these kind of review “shorties”, be sure to subscribe to my feed, as there are more one-minuters coming soon.
