Forum: PUBLIC: Discuss Gear & Software for GTD

Have any of you heard of Smartytask? http://www.smartytask.com/ I just signed up for it and I am really enjoying it. They really have struck the balance between features and simplicity. I am really impressed with it. You can try it free for a week I think, so check it out. They only have...

Can you suggest the a mobile device that can easily synch all 5 Outlook 2010 elements wirelessly with Microsoft Exchange Server: email calendar contacts memos tasks, including categories Amazingly, the new android 4G phones don't synch memos and tasks, which I lean on heavily to implement...

It's kind of a poll. Do you GTDers who have children have scheduled time for them or you have related Projects and Next Actions that you do when you feel so. Would you mind sharing the Projects you have related to your children development (learn a language or piano etc.) I would appreciate if you...

Ok i been fiddling with enough smartphone todo list on the iphone and android as well as the web. So it suddenly occur to me, that one selling point alot of them make is that the tasks are synchronized across the web so that you can do it in different location. my question is that how many...

I live in NYC and do a lot of traveling within the city so I have a mobile office system I carry with me. Some of my GTD tools I carry all the time (no matter where I am going) and others I carry only when I know I am going somewhere to do work. I would like to hear what everyone uses/carries. ...

In case anyone with an android phone hasn't come across this app its really worth a look into. Essentially its a simplified scripting engine for android which means you can program your to do all kinds of things automatically. A few of the things that are helpful productivity wise include Have a...

I'm on a fruitless quest for the perfect desktop organizer (not a virtual one - to organize desk supplies on a real desk). Ideally it'll have 6+ compartments for small items, a couple of slots or vertical spots where I could stash index cards and a pad of post-its, 2-3 places for pens and other...

I have been using GTD to some degree or another for 6+ years. The more I use it, the better it is, but a challenge I have is running one system seamlessly across Work and Home. I use Outlook at work, which is nice because I can drag and drop e-mails to the calendar and tasks, etc. Unfortunately...

Often I need to capture some thoughts whilst in bed - but I am often too tired to get out of bed to write them down. So I am brainstorming the best way to capture these. I am thinking a small white board would be good as it is very easy to write and that's good when your half asleep. Perhaps a...

I've decided to take a short break from showing people how to get more done with Lotus Notes and eProductivity to equip them with a way to get more done: I've decided to give away licenses and subscriptions to some of my favorite GTD productivity software. Here are the applications I'm giving...

I put this same question on the general GTD forum a short while ago but only got one response, so I thought I'd try again. Does anyone have experience of GTD tools on the Linux platform? When I say tools, I'm thinking of off-line list management applications for projects and actions (not just...

I've used GTD off and on for a few years, mainly based in Outlook on my company laptop. I have recently gotten an iPhone and would like to have more portability in my system. My iPhone mail, calendar and contacts are synced to Outlook through an exchange server. I've spent the better part of the...

I've just purchased an Android phone (HTC Desire) and I've also won a Wifi iPad in a competition. I would like to implement my GTD system using tools that work on both platforms. Does anyone know of an iPad App and Android App that are compatible i.e. any updates i make on the iPad App will...

I have been implementing the GTD system for around 18months to 2 years and one problem I have is that I keep missing calendar events. I am using a mac and iphone with omnifocus and ical on both. I had added so many things to the calendar that it was beeping all the time with things like...

Dear GTDers, I have been GTDing for about 8 months. I started by reading David Allen's first book and then supplemented my knowledge with podcasts. I initially implemented GTD using a three-ring binder and binder-paper. This system has been working well for me; however, it is becoming...

Has anyone used both iPhone and Blackberry (BB)? Any tips from those who have used both devices? Next month work will now support email on iPhone in addition to BB. I sync calendar/NA's (tasks)/contacts/email/notes between Outlook 2003 and Blackberry Bold (thru Blackberry Enterprise Server...

Ok, first time poster with a few questions. I've glanced at the book, and keep track with tech gadgets and productivity processes to manage things. I'm good at doing the workflow processing for my work emails - but I just can't seem for the life of me to get this integrated into my long term...

Is anyone besides me disappointed in the task view capabilities in Outlook 2010? Rather than being able to permanently pin them to the navigation pane sidebar on the left side of the screen, custom views must be accessed via a drop down box on the ribbon (which doesn't even display the full view...

I'm gradually moving from Windows to Mac, but can't give up on Outlook/Entourage. However one very handy GTD trick does not seem to translate. In cranking through Outlook emails, I used to have another copy of Outlook open on its calendar page, and would drag and drop emails with attachments from...
