How to Make Sense of the Explosion of Productivity Apps

Over the years I have been in search of a great application that will help me stay organized and be productive.  I need that compensating factor for who I know I am.  For years the digital options have been lacking.  A trend I have noticed over the past year is a resurgence in taks management, collaboaration and project apps.  There have been significant developments on this even in the past month.  Here is a post about my thoughts as well as some upcoming posts I'm working on. 

Here are links to some of the sites I mention.

Omnifocus, Things, Toodledo, Action Method, Strides, Basecamp, Asana and Do.com
