Like Evernote but with multiple levels of directory structure (notebooks) +1 Devon Think is a great app. I'm also using it for managing and categorizing large amounts of data. |

Hierarchy tree editor you should also tell us what kind of information you want to manage (text, numbers, formatted text, ...). It would be helpful to tell more about the features you'd need. |

Hierarchy tree editor you do not tell us which operating system you are using. |

Are there established patterns/methodologies to establishing a knowledge management system? that's interesting - exactly matching my own unfulfilled needs! I often stumble upon information (e. g. during surfing the web) which might be interesting for another project or task and it is a problem to store it so that I can back to it later when I'll be working on the other project... |

Are there established patterns/methodologies to establishing a knowledge management system? very good point - is this your own idea or are there already approaches based on this action-oriented view? |

How to have a quick overview about time zones of international partners? thanks a lot - that looks great, but seems to be limited to 2 additional clocks, or is there a hack to add more? |

What was scientifically shown to support productivity when structural organizing/accessing file and folders? good question - how did you solve your problem? |

What was scientifically shown to support productivity when structural organizing/accessing file and folders? AFAIK tagging in Windows 7 does NOT work for all kinds of files (e. g. TXt or PDF files can not be tagged) nor is it possible to assign tags to folders. This is a large restriction IMHO. :-( |

org-mode and productivity I started using org-mode some weeks ago for my todolist-system, as I was searching for a highly customizable and powerful solution based on plain text and platform independent... I'm quite happy with it, but it is really difficult to get into it (especially as I had never "really" used emacs before). I've adopted the very good system presented here and try to learn step by step its features: doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html |

Things vs Omnifocus - what are the advantages and disadvantages of both programs for task management? Well, Omnifocus seemed more flexible to me, but I finally did not feel comfortable with it (can't explain it, I admit I did not really try it out as my real task management app, because entering all the tasks/projects in a new software is a lot of work, too), so in the meantime I have decided to learn Emacs and org-mode to have a cheaper, plain text based and platform-independent solution. see productivity.stackexchange.com/questions/1626/… |

Things vs Omnifocus - what are the advantages and disadvantages of both programs for task management? thank you very much for your very detailed answer! With the review date for projects I meant what you describe: being remembered regularly to review the project and see if it has a next action, etc. (so only OF seems to be able to do that). So for my needs OF would seem to be the better solution. |

ToDo list application with projects, start and due dates, a priority field and custom filtering for Mac OS X? don't worry! :D Your answer is surely helpful for others, but I have already tested those 2 tools. As you described, OmniFocus seemed much more flexible and adaptable to my personal needs but the high price and the fact that it is Mac-only made me search another solution.. |

ToDo list application with projects, start and due dates, a priority field and custom filtering for Mac OS X? just one more thing: what I especially like about org-mode (at least from this very early point of view) is that it is like a notepad where I can note everything and place todo's, appointments, etc. directly in between my notes where they belong. That feels very powerful and it is a bit like a database, where it is possible to note everything at one place and then extract the wanted parts of the information with structured queries ("agendas" in org-mode). We'll see how long my enthusiasm lasts, but I'm quite optimistic to finally have found something that works for me. |

ToDo list application with projects, start and due dates, a priority field and custom filtering for Mac OS X? @mOuntain: thanks for your detailed answer. I'm watching those 2 candidates(OmniFocus and Things) for a long time and also already tried them out but - I admit - I did not try to put all my tasks into them and that was not enough to be sure it was the right tool (that's not to blame on the tools, for sure!!). So I finally was not willing to pay the price for at least one of them to really try it and I felt exactly what you wrote: _the best GUI app will never compare to a text-base design for portability and ease of use" - so that's why I'm currently trying to learn Emacs and org-mode. :D |

ToDo list application with projects, start and due dates, a priority field and custom filtering for Mac OS X? @mOuntain: In general, you're absolutely right: someone who does not like taskwarrior might also dislike emacs. However: I AM the OP and finally answered this myself, because that is my current solution :-) I'm not generally against command line etc. and during the last weeks I had some successful encounters with the command line for automating tasks which made me start liking the plain text format. Furthermore I'm searching for a better LaTeX editor where also Emacs is a good candidate.. (see also my comment to your answer) |

How to focus on the current task and avoid any distractions? hm "All you have to do is not wander." But I'm explicitly asking about distractions during tasks which require walking around e. g. in our home. And I won't start a 1-minute pomodoro for "go get the paper which my wife has to sign from the home office", or should I? That seems silly to me. My question is about mostly small tasks and things which are usually not noted on a todo list and which sometimes come to my mind spontaneously and I then want to accomplish them to know it's done, as is would be more effort to write them down than to directly do them. However, this can be a chain reaction.. |
