To get started I would recommend signing up for backpack. You can use backpack to organize your projects, to do lists and more. A free account offers up to 5 pages, but if you’re creative that will be plenty of space.

37signals flagship product is Basecamp, it is a complete project management tool. It’s more difficult to get by with the free version. If you have a large project or a large project team it’s worth the money.

Another great product is highrise. This is an online contact management tool with reminders and other great features.

The great thing about the 37signals software is that it is online and you can share information with your project team. This is where highrise really shines. You and your project team can have access to all the important contacts for a project and see notes and reminders related to each contact.

The 37signals blogs are also a good read for information workers.

They have a company blog, check it out here.

And a product blog, check it out here.

For anyone who dabbles in web design the 37 signals team are also the creators of the Ruby on Rails Framework.

Check out their offerings, stay organized, and have a Happy and Safe New Year.
