For the last few months we’ve been using 37 Signal’s Backpack product purely for it’s journal feature. If you’re unfamiliar with it, think of it like a journal of not only what you’ve done, but what you are doing right now. It’s really a nice way to keep Dennis and I in the loop about what we’re working on.

Well, like most new process’, it’s easy to fall off track keeping it up to date and driving it into a daily routine. So in an effort to make it as easy as possible, i did some research and found a cool little menubar app called Logbook.

Logbook does everything I need, giving me a sexy interface within a keyboard shortcut (command + shift + l). It also reminds me every 15 minutes to update it between the hours of 9AM and 6:30PM. How cool is that?

If you’re using Backpack like we are, i totally suggest you check it out.
