Another Indispensable Outliner Program

The other day I mentioned how much I liked the outlining features of Keynote. Another outlining program that I find indispensable for maintaining my web sites is Aportis’ BrainForest Professional.

BrainForest Professional is certainly not the best outliner out there (in fact if you’re looking for an outliner for your desktop, I’d strongly recommend against buying it — there are much better programs out there), but it does have one big advantage — its available for the PC, the Mac and, most importantly, the Palm platform.

I use it as a souped-up “To Do” list of all the (literally) hundreds of tasks that have to get done eventually on my web site, and track the various things that have been accomplished so I can keep track of the goals I set.

The desktop version will export to HTML which is also helpful. I uploaded a recent version of my web site outline to as an example of how I use it to manage tasks.
