The best one I've found is Gootodo -- www.gootodo.com -- which is really cool in many ways. Most importantly, though, it supports the "letting your bits go"-principle where you just see the to-dos that are relevant for you at this time.

Saintiny Wed, 04 Jul 2007 01:13:55 +0000 http://positivesharing.com/2007/03/monday-tips-wanted/#comment-123243 I like to distribute a few notes written in felt-tip marker on a Post-It Notes. I use felt-tip because it keeps me from writing too much. I usually put a happy face on it, too. Little things, like "Great report!" It's simple, but I got a couple such notes at different times, and it felt great! Truly, G. Saintiny Check out my book-for-kids site. . . .

I am going to trackback some of these tips from my blog (thank you) in an upcoming Monday post. But in the meantime, I do have one of my own tips to offer and it's quick: Before you start your day - take a minute to jot down a quick, yet meaningful, gratitude list. Write down at least 3 (but more is better) things you are grateful for wrt to your worklife (e.g. colleagues, the work itself, the culture/environment, learning opps, clients, etc.). Even for those of us that love our work, sometimes getting back to work after a break (weekend or holiday) can be tough but focusing on the stuff that gives your work-life meaning makes a great big mindset shift. And a la Seligman (authentic happiness), gratitude is a key component to happiness. I have some other tips on an early post in my blog (www.tgimworklife.com) if you'd like to visit:) P.S You are doing FAB work...I love your style and joie! Best, Eileen Fantastic request!

Lots of people stop by and grab one - which has lead to some great conversations - work and other wise. I also have a Rubic's Cube, a Magic 8 Ball, and this bizarre plastic ball made up of geometric parts that cause it to flip inside out (changing its colour) when tossed in the air, a mini Zen garden, and other items to busy one's hands while talking - or just hanging out.
