Emergent Task Planner — Enhanced!
I’ve previously mentioned David Seah’s Printable CEO Series, which I really like — it has all the hallmarks of a system that’s been designed by someone who has actually used it, and refined it over time. The real gem (imho) of the series is the Emergent Task Planner, which according to David’s blog is getting another update following a round of user-feedback in preparation for having the planner commercially printed. I’m feeling a bit of anticipation. Despite the “CEO” title of the series (a bit of a misnomer I think), I would recommend this tool for anyone who has time and tasks to manage, especially anyone who freelances, consults, or has multiple projects or clients on the go, particularly if you don’t already have a reliable system in place.

Thanks for the link and kind words! Yup, the title is sort of a misnomer, but I think when all the pieces finally come together it might be be more appropriate. The name came about from the very first form, the “concrete goals tracker”, which does have a much higher-level approach that I thought was CEO-like in its focus.
