NYTimes: Thinking Tools for the Mac

StickyBrain user here, too. Tried out DevonThink but found StickyBrain better suited to my needs. But with so many VodooPad users on board, I might give that a try, too.

I'm a long-time Voodoo user, and I like it. But I keep worrying that I'm missing something with a different package. I'm oddly drawn to DevonThink. Maybe it's just because it's new and shiny. Oohhh, so shiny!

Like many creatives, I have ADD (ADHD without the hyperactivity), and I have been looking for a program like this for a long time. Problem is, I never can make a decision. Are there any that are better suited to easily distracted folks? Color coding is one feature I would be looking for. Thanks.

I like Notational Velocity. Lean and simple.

The program I'm looking forward to is MindManager (http://www.mindjet.com) for the Mac (which is rumored to be coming out next year...they have a beta sign-up page somewhere on their site that includes "Mac OS-X" as an option...) Also, if you are using NYT URLs, you might consider using this to keep the NYT from breaking your link down the road. http://nytimes.blogspace.com/genlink

I also love Voodoopad - but I wonder if I am getting the most out of it. It would be great if there was a way people could post tips, but even more, strategies for managing VP. Screen shots would also be appreciated. Any thoughts on where that could be?

I'm using a combination of tools. It's iCal/remind with a couple of custom AppleScripts that keep certain aspects of these two in sync, Hog Bay Noteboook, Omni Outliner Pro + kGTD and finally a few flat text files.

StickyBrain with Palm sync. Rock on.

I have considered voodoo pad, but am so used to popping things into BBEdit in a similar fashion, that I don't think I would ever use it. Sure, they may be totally different animals even, but the habit with BBEdit is already built in on the meat interface.

I'm a Tinderbox user, using it largely for collecting and keeping track of the hundreds of reading notes that I write for my thesis. I have yet to fully utilize its potential and learning as I go, but it serves me quite well at the moment.
