As a contractor what tools do you use to manage your tasks, track time spent for each client, and then charge your clients.

I’ve been using Macs at work for years, even though I’d much rather use a Linux box. The main reasons I keep going with the Mac: is that I like to connect two monitors up while I’m at work, and then I’d also like the machine not to look too dated. Most of the more finely tuned Linux options just don’t look done (System76). So I’ve been aggressively trying to find a laptop that will compete with a MacBook Pro 15; ideally comes with two video ports. The standouts: ThinkPad X1 Carbon V4 [1] and Dell’s Precision M5510 [2]. Anyone have experience running either of these boxes connected to two monitors, or can suggest a better option?

I'm interested in knowing more about what's going on in the startup scene in Israel and was wondering if there's a platform that's used to keep the community together.

There are so many interesting posts I come across everyday and because of other commitments I just can't read everything I want to. So I ended up making a list of links in Evernote that I add to each day. That list has gotten unwieldy and I wish there were a tool I could use that would let me tag and rank links. Also, after I read a post I wish I could add some notes about it if I ever wanted to go back to it. Are there are any tools out there I should be made aware of? Any nice hacks around this?

If you could go back in time and learn about a certain topic or skill what would it be (assuming you'd be in the same profession you're in now). Please also mention what field you're in.
