MyTicklerFile is a web service that offers an electronic implementation of the “Tickler File” concept, part of the “Getting Things Done” workflow management philosophy.
A Tickler file is a set of 43 folders (geddit?
) into which you can file future events that will require your attention later but which don’t need to sap your energy right now.
There are ways to get a tickler file going inside Mail.app itself using MailTags or AppleScript, but for those who prefer a web-based solution, MyTicklerFile will do the job nicely.
A upgraded version of the service was launched today. It adds Projects, time-tracking, syncing with iCal and Basecamp for paying customers and new daily, monthly and project views.
Also new is the TicklerCal, an “iCal-like” representation of all your ticklers:
MyTicklerFile offers a free plan with one project, 15 ticklers and 10 Backpack-style reminders, and two paying plans (USD 9/month and 19/month) which include more projects, ticklers and reminders and other extra features.

to the site, read its blog and look at some sample screenshots.

If you are interested in online task management, I strongly encourage you to check out Remember The Milk (www.rememberthemilk.com); it has a lot of the features mentioned above, looks great, works with iCal and Google Calendar, and offers SMS/IM/email reminders, and it’s 100% free. Other than being very impressed by RTM, I have no connection with them – just a happy user.
