Time Tracker
The idea is simple. At the start of your day - upon completion of your first task - create an entry highlighting what you did and whether you feel it was an efficient or inefficient use of your time. Based on several requests, you can also select the priority, apply categories, or even align your time against a project.
For Lotus Notes Client v8.0 and above, you can use the Time Tracker Widget to make this process even easier!
Zephyr
My Configuration-based Rich Text Mail Merge and Emailing Utility, Zephyr allows you to create rich, data-driven emails to support automated workflow - all via Microsoft Word Mail Merge-like architecture. Dear <firstname> allows you to personalize each email message not only to the individual recipient, but also to the individual application workflow event!
xCopy
xCopy is a simple configurable xCopy client for the Lotus Notes client. By creating and defining xCopy Profiles, you can batch process your file backup or remote upload jobs. With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.

Lotus Notes Client URLs
01/09/2003 12:47:32 PM by Chris Toohey
Ever wanted to link to a Domino database from your intranet? Easy enough if your intranet is in Domino; but what if it's in ColdFusion or just plain old HTML?!? How do you link to a Domino database and how do you get that link to run in the Lotus Notes client?!? The following tip shows you how!
This should launch your personal address book (names.nsf). The URL for this was simply "Notes:///names.nsf".
The schemes for Lotus Notes client URLs is as follows:
Server Databases
Taking this a step farther, you can also, by using Domino web-URL arguments, do the following:
New Contact
By appending /person?openform to the scheme, I was able to have a user launch their Person or new contact form.
The application of this is endless. You can now use dynamic URLs even for your Notes Applications as I have with framesets pointing to specific user's view in a custom welcome page (hey, it's something that I had to do!). For example, I created a new view in the R5 Mail Template called "Unread Messages" so a user could view all of their Unread Messages directly from the welcome page/splash screen. To make the button dynamic for all users, I used the following:
server := @Subset(@MailDbName;1);
database := @Subset(@MailDbName;-1);
mail := "Unread Messages";
setMail := @Do(@SetTargetFrame("NotesView");
@URLOpen("Notes://" + @Name([CN];server) + "/" + database + "/unread?OpenView"));
setMail;
@Command([RefreshHideFormulas])
I placed this formula on a URL hotspot (in the Click Event of the hotspot mind you) - this allowed for all users to click and launch this Notes client-specific URL in a frame in a frameset IN THE NOTES CLIENT!!!
Made me look good anyways!
