ididwork.com is a great site to use if you a freelancer or if you want to keep track of what you have accomplished at the office. You are given simple text entry points to log what project you did and you can tag it into a certain category, things like presentations, blog posts, report, etc.

This gives you a running list of what you’ve accomplished, it provides charts of daily achievement, what you’ve done the most work on according to your tags and a graph of overall performance.

You can also use the feedback button to email your manager your recent progress and get comments from him or her. It’s very simple to use and free to sign up. I think it will be a great place to keep track of my blog posts and time spent on other writing projects I am doing.

And, the most useful part if you’re working in a team, you can add feeds to your teammates ididwork accounts. For example, if Brad, Lee and I are working on a joint feature post and I need to wait for Brad to be completed with his portion before I can complete mine, if we link up, I have the ability to tell as soon as he is done. Then Lee can see when we’re both finished and work on his portion.

You can also use the feature as a manager or supervisor and keep track of what your team has finished.

The ideal part? Since it’s on the web you can use it from any personal you are at and if IT decides to “fix” your computer overnight, you won’t lose all your data.

There are lots of nice launcher apps out there (Launchy, SpeedLaunch, Executor, etc.), but why bother with them when you can do the same thing with functions already built in to Windows? Explorer’s running anyways, so you might as well get something out of it.

First, create a new folder that will contain your shortcuts. If you’ve got a data drive or partition, put it there so it’ll stick around after a reformat. Next, right click my personal, and open system properties.

Click the advanced tab, then click the environment variables button. In the bottom box, find path and click the edit button. Now scroll all the way to the right, add a semicolon to the end, and input the path to your new folder.
