Getting Things Done Gmail Firefox Extension
At this point, tons of people have heard of Getting Things Done - a book (and a technique) for organizing things in your life so you can accomplish more each day.
Now someone has written a Firefox extension that makes the labels you use in Firefox a little more organized themselves. It tunes them to work in the GTD scheme of things.

I have a copy of the GTD book on order that is supposed to arrive any day now. If it gets here by this weekend, maybe I will try this extension out after I read the book.
Practically all my friends and relatives, even extended family relatives, are using Firefox now. People just like it; programmers, engineers, my mother, everybody.
Personally, I have found it invaluable during the past couple of years. I know for a fact the Firefox extensions have really helped my productivity - and output quality - quite a bit.

Hopefully, someday I will get this page to validate!
