As I posted earlier, I'm planning on getting a palm soon, probably a Tungsten E. Although I usually decline extended warranties without even thinking twice...I'm thinking twice. Are they a good idea or no? Any other "if I knew then" tips?

I'd like to try using a palm-type device and could really use some advice, though I'm not really sure what questions to ask. I thought they sounded pretty neat when I first read GTD last summer, but was scared off when I started looking around online saw all the tech complaints. I'm not a...
(This is my third or fourth posting of stages in the evolution of my system. For those wanting to filter this quickly, I'm using an unmodified Palm m515 to implement everything but filed papers.) My last post (Thinking out loud ...), set forth a system of DateBook, ToDo Lists for NAs, and Memos...
Blackberry with GTD – Is this workaround possible? I am getting forced to adopt a blackberry at my office. I am now using the GTD system and have my outlook 2003 all setup and populated with lots of tasks and have made some custom views for them. I use tasks a lot. I also use Outlook’s...

I am currently using Outlook on the desktop and Pocket Informant on my PocketPC. The problem I am running into is where to store later actions in a project. If I know that project A has steps 1-5, and I put #1 on the next action list, where do I put #2-4? And is there some easy way to move them...
I noticed that the GTD add-in moves stuff out of Inbox and into either an @action, @waiting_for, or other @ folder in the Inbox. Is there anyway to move these folders to an outlook offline folder (a .pst file). Given the volume of stuff I have in these pending files, I'm running out of space in...
