Free Fonts from WC Fonts
WC Fonts ("WC" for "water closet") is a small but growing collection of unique display and dingbat typefaces. Among my favorites are the hand-drawn, hand-shaded RoughTrad and the splatterific Rhesus family (both pictured below).
Get Things Done
Getting Things Done (GTD) is a task-management philosophy that says you'll be more productive if you record tasks externally—in a to-do list, for example—thus freeing the mind to concentrate on the performance of those tasks rather than remembering which tasks to accomplish.
So popular is the GTD method that numerous applications have sprung up around it. TaskWriter.com is one of the best such applications, and it’s free.
TaskWriter.com separates your tasks into contexts, projects, and lists. First, categorize your to-do tasks by their context—for example, are they work tasks or home-related tasks? Then, if applicable, associate tasks with particular projects. Finally, add a task to a time-defined list, such as "next action" or "someday."
Due date customization, calendar and task list views, and a clean, highly intuitive interface make TaskWriter.com an excellent way to get things done.
