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.

xCopy - Local Archiving and File Copying Utility for Lotus Notes
07/22/2008 12:28:25 PM by Chris Toohey
I ran into a situation recently where I needed to start backing up my My Documents contents onto a network drive (which is a good idea of course). I wanted to do this as easily as possible, and without the headache. So I thought to myself that there HAD to be a way that I could schedule the execution of a simple batch file that I'd write that did this for me. After I wrote this - which took a few minutes, it's not doing anything outside of a simple xcopy command with some attributes - I thought to myself that there's an opportunity here for not only a configurable application but also a slick little sidebar application in Lotus Notes. A few hours later, I had xCopy v0.1, a pretty slick little utility. The hours came as the result of little UI tweaks, including something slick that I'm doing with the Transaction Logs Form Design Element, a nice little sidebar widget in the form of a Form Design Element, which showcases a configurable embedded frameset and "webby" tabbed-navigation. And like with Sorting Hat v0.1, I've added an About this Application element that includes an embedded Digsby chat so - from within the application - you can instant message the author (... me).

With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.
Have a Javascript Library that you want to easily maintain? Simply download your library updates, and your previously-defined xCopy Profile will incrementally update your Webdav-enabled Domino Application!
It's simple, easy to use, and full of solid development examples!
To "install" the sidebar, check out this quick tutorial on Creating Form Design Element Sidebar Widgets!
Feedback/suggestions appreciated!

Chris,
Can this do an archive within an archive of Notes? So if my archive is too large, I want cascading archives. Any thoughts? Email me or IM me if you do.
Keith, that is a great idea. I have a user with a 16+ GB archive. I would love to use something to trim down that beast. So... if it can work like that I'd love it....
@Keith:
This isn't so much a mail archiver, but a simply configurable application that runs an xcopy command from the system shell. There's nothing Notes about it outside of the configuration and client usage - in runs in the Lotus Notes client, but deals with files on or accessible via the system.
Mind you, you COULD take xCopy and use it to update file resources in a WebDav-enabled database...
@Debbie:
Well - there's an issue with multiple archive files... and that's basically that you run into a "where the hell's that email" problem when you have 10 different archives of a single mail file.
I'd initially recommend an e-vault solution, something that will store and allow restoration and searching of mail files, while allowing you to purge older email - knowing that the email is stored in a central storage engine that can be accessed should the need arise. It'll certainly help with the retention problem that the 16+ GB mail file users are facing (not to mention the performance impacts that presents, etc.).
Now, I think a good idea for an application would be a configurable database query-and-store application that will allow you to define a set criteria, and run the query against a source application. Once you have a NotesDocumentCollection, it could copy or "move" those documents from the source database to a defined target database.
