I've recently started experimenting with a new outlining/project managment program, My Life Organized, http://www.mylifeorganized.net It is similar to Lifeballanced but comes in three versions lite (free), standard, and pro which includes a sync to Outlook. The program seems young in its...
Hi all! I've made my work on a custom project form for GTD available for download as an attachement to this message. (See post http://www.davidco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3812 for details). Disclaimer: This is not a product of any kind, just an unsupported contribution to the forum of the...
I have just finished working on the next version of the custom project form (see thread http://www.davidco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3822 for details) New features: - Better performance - More input fields and features on Project Form "main page" - Ability to assign project to Contact -...
Would love to get an iPhone, but sticking with my Treo for now until someone figures out a way to make the iPhone GTD friendly. I know that the iPhone only allows 3rd party apps via the web.....anyone know if anything is being developed?
Recently, Tunkel asked for advice on how to implement GTD within Lotus Notes: Jay's question is a good one and I get asked this question often. GTD is a powerful methodology, while Lotus Notes and the Treo 600 represent powerful technologies. It is only natural, therefore, that folks should...
Which would you guys prefer and why? A pen that can write on any paper and you can then have all that text into your computer (such as the logitech one) or a digital inkpad that comes with its own pen that transfers entire sheets of paper into documents on the computer? Any of you have any...
I tried ActionComplete which was good but not close enough to GTD for me. As far as I could tell there was no quick way to see actions based on context. You could setup a filter but it was too cumbersome for me. I just started using Shuffle (http://code.google.com/p/android-shuffle/) and I...
Action Lists (app store link) is a new task manager for the iPhone and iPod Touch based on the Getting Things Done (GTD) system. Action Lists harnesses the power of the GTD system with an easy to use interface that makes it fast to access the information you need when you need it. Action Lists...
I just got Gmail, haven't used it much yet. But it looks pretty cool. There is an interface where you can associate labels with messages rather than putting them in folders. So a message could be associated with more than one keyword. Also there are very good search/retrieval facilities with...
I recently purchased a new notbook computer to replace one that died a year ago and having lived with it for a few weeks I can’t imagine how it could be improved upon. But once again, I’m trying to find a really workable way to have my Outlook files on both the notebook and my desk computer and...
I'm new to this forum but have been looking for simple inexpensive tools to get started with GTD. I keep seeing reference to omnifocus. I did look at the app online but it seems awfully expensive for a list manager- the price is saw was $79- Is there a less expensive version of this that does...
Is anyone using OneNote as the core for their GTD management? It seems like it should work almost perfectly, particularly because of the flags and flag summary features-- but I'm still having a hard time with the details. Should I create sections (or pages in a section) for the contexts or only...
Boy do I feel left out, with all of this "Ecco Pro" talk going on. Are there any GTD-ers using this forum who are on Macs? Right now I'm using Entourage (2001, not OS X) for my master task list (moderately useful) and Palm desktop for contacts. Yes, this hybrid system is confusing and somewhat...
"Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter values are not valid." This is the error message I get when I try to save a new task. I've rebooted but I'm still getting the message. One of cohorts which has the GTD add-on on the same network is not running into this problem. Any...
I recently started using Microsoft OneNote 2007 as part of my GTD system. My GTD "hub" is still my task list in Outlook, but I do use OneNote for three purposes: 1. Capturing daily notes on the fly for future processing, 2. managing projects, and 3. storage of reference material. I...
Hello All! Maybe others have the same problem as me. I changed from Palm OS based phone to Nokia E70, which is a very good mobile, first-class communicator, but terrible PDA. (Much more cheaper with mobile contract than my Treo was, and has built-in wifi) Calendar could be used, but Todo and...
I'm just starting with GTD and one of my bewilderments is the dizzying array of tools available for managing your system. Left to my own devices, I'd probably lean strongly towards a web-based/open source toolset, but work uses Outlook so I'm trying to work with it. One basic problem I've run...
Attached is a MS Excel checklist that I threw together that allows one to gauge if he/she is keeping up with their GTD weekly review. You can enter your personal goals and visually see if you meet them as well as measure if you are improving your review process efficiency. It's simple, but...
It's released: http://gtdsupport.netcentrics.com/addedfiles/gtdv2.5finalrelease.php Looks good!
Hi all, Could someone please tell me why everyone seems to be so fired up about using Moleskine notebooks? I've not seen one in person, but it looks like it's just a plain old notebook to me. Please, tell me - what's the big deal? ~b
