Just last month we talked about ‘Giving Your Right Mouse Button Super Powers’ where you were able to add a ton of features to your right click.   Some of you loved it, but some of you thought the extra options were just too overwhelming! 

For those of you in the latter group – here’s something which does exactly the opposite and helps you clean up and streamline your right click.   Think about it – whenever you right-click inside Windows explorer, you would typically only use only a fraction of the items on the context menu.

MMMFree is a piece of freeware which allows you to store these menu-items in a ‘rarely-used’ folder or hide them completely so you get to see only what you want to see all the time…  Perfect for a cleaner desktop!

Would you prefer ‘more or ‘less’ options in your right click menu?  Tell us in the poll & comments!

Want to make simple edits to PDF files and don’t want to go through the hassle of actually installing software?

PDF Hammer is a website that allows you to edit your PDF files online for free. You don’t need to install any additional software, you can edit PDF documents right now inside your browser.  It’s as simple as that.

PDF Hammer is in beta and currently has the following features:

• Reorder pages
• Delete pages
• Append PDF to another PDF

Note that this works best with minor edits as described above – and if the PDF file you wish to edit is small enough to upload and download quickly.  If you want a more powerful editor or need something computer based, you may want to try some PDF editing freeware which we reviewed previously.

For those unfamiliar with this system, GTD is basically a time and commitment management system, and this definition from Wikipedia truly encapsulates the concept perfectly…

“GTD rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of their mind and get them recorded somewhere. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate fully on actually performing those tasks. “

…and yes – speaking from experience, it really works. Jello GTD is a brand new open source plugin which helps you implement this system in Outlook

What’s good?

• It’s free, open source and under constant development
• It’s developer ‘Dr. Uqbarrun’ is quick and responsive to comments and suggestions in the comments sections, which has lead to quick implementation of features.
• Syncs with your handhelds

What’s not?

Having tried it out, it seems that there is no obvious way to associate email to the tasks created. As a lot of of my work is driven by emails that need to be actioned, this is a big drawback.

Conclusion:

If your work is not heavily email based, and you’d like a better way to keep track of your tasks, it’s certainly worth a try… after all it’s free. If anything this program will help whip a scattered workflow back into shape. It’s better than ending up like this…

Try it now – Jello GTD
