Backpack Referrals

After I don't know how many years of using the free version of Backpack I finally upgraded to a paid account. Managing all my business and personal stuff was getting more and more difficult and I tried out various things roughly based on the Getting Things Done system. I came very close to buying OmniFocus but a couple things made me put the breaks on that purchase (only letting me try it for 8 days really didn't help). After serious consideration I decided to upgrade my Backpack account to make it more functional for me. Now that I have I could kick myself for waiting so long.

I admit that I had to get a bit creative about how to make Backpack work most efficiently for me but now that I have it's fantastic. Someday soon perhaps I'll write about how I'm using Backpack and Highrise (the free version for now at least) as a Getting Things Done and well, just, getting things done system.

I'm mentioning all this because I put a button in the sidebar for Backpack as part of the affiliate program from 37 Signals. If you signup for a paid Backpack account using the affiliate code MICHELLEJONES I'll get a tiny referall fee. I figured since I liked it enough to actually pay for it I should formally recommend it and if I was going to do that it would be stupid not to sign up for the affiliate program.

But if you want to signup and use the free Backpack account I won't be mad at you. The free account really did work well for me for a very long time and it's only cause I have such a crazy amount of stuff to keep up that I upgraded. So you know, do what you need to do.
