One application i used previously that has the capability to show dependencies is My Life Organized. I had stopped using it because it's design was rather dated and it was a paid app, but it looks like they just had a rather significant redesign, and there is a free trial. The amount of functionality offered with the software is staggering and there's just a ...

Have you tried promodoroapp? It allows you to create categories. Personally, I just use simpler pomodoro app, and record daily/weekly goals on a spreadsheet or Basecamp. It's easy to get distracted by pomodoro apps with a lot of bells a whistles.

I've got the same problem as you - every time to many tabs open. My favorite way to "clean up" my browser and spare the tabs for later is by the plugin TooManyTabs which is available in for Chrome and Firefox:
TooManyTabs - Chrome version
TooManyTabs - Firefox version
The good thing about it is that the tabs saved by this plugin aren't stored in memory ...

Making sense of someone else's poorly structured writing is no different from revising prose that you've written yourself. Were this proposed software published, it would be used by professional writers everywhere.
Unfortunately, after a few decades, spelling checkers still suffer from random red underlines; grammar checkers are even worse at reading your ...

It sounds to me like you're skimping on the GTD step of "processing" your inbox(es). You describe adding to-do items directly into your GTD system using your keyboard shortcut to Toodledo. My understanding (and practice) of GTD uses a general purpose inbox, where all random thoughts go for later processing. Occasionally I'll have a thought that I know is ...

I use http://getpocket.com/ (and for some things the competing http://www.instapaper.com/) which save pages for later reading - pocket goes to my rss reader where I know I will review it when I'm in more 'tuning into the world's information mode' - I trust this system and that works well. Some things that don't go into pocket - go into instapaper - because ...

I use google calendar - I solve the catagories problem by creating a different calendar (with a different color) for each catagory - because of the gmail intergration it handles pretty well for tasks... Heres a (redacted - I'm open, I'm not that open) version of time for last week.
For how I fill it in - you might be interested in this answer...

I think that nothing is useless. Universities know what to teach in a computer science curriculum. There are a lot of intelligent people deciding that. Many of the things we will never use again in our life. But if taken with a keen interest, it will build on the vision to go to the next level in our jobs and become a killer problem solver.
What do you want ...

I think the use of learning the stuff comes from the mentality with which you approach it. If you enjoy the material, you will find uses for it that you didn't expect. It once took me a few weeks to unexpectedly realize that the solution to a difficult problem was a neat algorithm I had recently been reading. If you don't enjoy the material, you will most ...

Signal processing and math are both hard and boring, I get it. But if you one day stumble over a signal processing problem you will not have much fun in studying this stuff on your own (at least that is true for me).
You will have to learn things that you never use again, and you will also not learn about important topics: Thats just how it is. But see this ...

One is the web site IDoneThis (https://idonethis.com/. Its free for individuals. You receive an email reminder daily to log what you did. Either reply to the mail or go to the web site to make entries. You can reply to the mail multiple times to add more ...

In Week Plan, you can send a list of tasks to today@hello.weekplan.net and they will be added to your today list. You can mark them as complete and they will stay in that day as completed (Week Plan has a week view that allows you to see what you have achieved in the past. A task can be assigned to a "role" which can correspond to your concept of categories. ...

Astrid does support subtasks.
What is necessitating the need for folding of subtasks?
I'm sure there is a way to accomplish your end goal of completing tasks under budget and on time without needing to fold subtasks under a parent task.
Give us more of the "what" and less of the "how" you want to accomplish this goal and I think you'll find the answers ...
