Merlin has created a new blog for documenting his 'life hacks', including quite a bit of GTD related stuff...

http://merlin.blogs.com/43folders/

The name even comes from the tickler file - DA's standard implementation uses 43 folders. Includes his innovative design for the 'Hipster PDA', along with lots of other tips and tricks.


If I can add one of my own (and plug my own blog again - I know, I'm shameless), it's a lot easier to keep track of this sort of site using RSS Feeds (can even include these forums - see that 'RSS Feed' link at the top?), and I wrote an article explaining how recently...

I use Bloglines...

...which does it all pretty nicely without needing any software, and works just as well from any computer.

Thanks, pigpogm. I hope folks find some useful stuff on the site.

I'll be rolling out a few of my more nerd-friendly hacks to the basic GTD setup in the coming days and weeks.

That'll include living in txt files, pulling rss for everything you can, and getting by within a pretty standard (read as: "modestly priced" and often open source) OSX setup. That will be a big focus since, to my knowledge, there aren't many GTD sites that cater to a Mac crowd.

See you around.

The Hipster PDA is a real PDA revolution :D . Where can I find the Hipster PDA User Manual, Getting Started Guide and Troubleshooting Manual? Are there any specific hints concerning GTD implementation using Hipster PDA?

Fantastic ... I've upgraded and haven't had to reboot yet!
