Freemind

The farther we get into the Millenium, the harder it gets to keep all of the information organized. One strategy for coping would be to follow Thoreau's advice and simplify my life in order to reduce the information flow to a manageable level. But what's the fun of that?

The other strategy is to fight fire with fire, using technology to fight the info-flood that technology has brought us. And that's where Freemind comes in. It was created as a mind-mapping tool, useful for organizing a stream of ideas and seeing how to fit the ideas together. But as the following video by JerryTonneman on YouTube shows, Freemind can be used to sort all kinds of information, including your daily schedule.
