I’m a real sucker for all productivity tools out there, cool little add-ons, GTD apps, to do lists, you name it. And let’s be honest, they are a real help when it comes down to working effectively on various projects at the same time, as it takes quite a bit of organisation and discipline to get those goals tackled in time.

This post is going to be about a few tools I have started using in the last few months. If I have decided to talk about them today, it’s because they have made a real difference to my daily approach to workload, readings, and overall organisation. Hopefully, you won’t know too much about those few apps and you will test & love them as much as i do.

I will dedicate today’s post to something slightly out of the ordinary, as I’m not going to discuss some coding, or other jQuery plugin I have tested lately, but instead spend a few of my un-precious minutes on something which may be very helpful to you.

If you’re (like me) a twitter addict and you like sharing loads of good stuff with the ever-growing webdesign community on the now-famous birdy application, then on one or two occasions, you MUST have found yourself looking for something YOU had tweeted about.

Simple things are most of the time the most appealing ones. It is so true in life, and this happens to be true (this is my opinion anyway) in web design. I often take peeks at minimalist web designs thinking “this web site has got nothing on, yet it looks wicked”.

Now, this post is not about entering into a real debate on how one would qualify a site as being minimalist. We can use ‘plain and simple’ or ‘clean’ websites if the ‘minimalist’ term bothers you.

I guess everybody has his/her own way of scanning through a newly-found website. Some people might focus on the services, the portfolio, the prices, the product range….etc
However, one thing all of us do certainly have in common is our interest in the company/shop/service provider’s reputation and basic information.
