In the past few days, two more sites have joined my creations.
- TruePriority.com – The team and I are morphing an internal project into it’s own, full fledged, and very limited mini-app. True Priority imports all of your time tracking data – (the initial version will only use Freckle) and with only a few inputs from you, prioritize your projects and tasks automatically, so you can work on projects that actually make money, and not just projects owned by insistent clients. It is the dashboard for the intelligent creative small business. It does all of the revenue and cost projection that you wish you could do with Quickbooks as well.

I recently came across this Simple Dollar blog post – “Why I Prefer Living Rural” and largely agreed with it. I did have two quibbles.
