For me it’s Roboform. This generates random passwords for weblogins and saves them as passcards. Then to log into a website, you just click the passcard, it takes you there, fills in the forms (e.g. username and password) and submits it for you.

Saves filling in all those forms!

Excel/Pivottables — I found more information about the business by playing with data in one spreadsheet than a year of customer satisfaction survey’s.

My Moleskin – I’ve hacked it to include a planner section. It also functions as a catch all for ideas and project notes. It’s been a lifesaver.

A cup of hot coffee and my laptop. We’re all sitting here together right now. I don’t think I’d know who I am without them.

Little black unruled Moleskine notebooks. Small enough to fit in your pocket. Stylish enough to impress the clients. Tonnes of pages for notes, diagrams and doodles.

(I’m not on commission for them, honest :) )

I would suggest those in conjunction with David Allen’s Getting Things Done system. All good stuff that keeps too much stuff from falling off the radar!

Well, since all I need to work is my laptop and my brain, I’m going to have to go with one of those. I suppose which one I’d choose depends on my mood. Tonight I’d go with brain, I can replace the laptop.

After that my office max brand red pens. I cannot live without red pens. If I check something off my to-do list or blog schedule with a black pen, it seems like I didn’t do it. Dumb I know. But if I don’t use red, I’ll sit there staring at the calender like a monkey, thinking, “Does black mean it’s done?????” Duh…
