Due the abundance of information out there about "Getting Things Done" (GTD), David & Co. has responded with a web page that provides an official definition of this term: http://www.davidco.com/what_is_gtd.php

I'm just starting on the GTD. I'm already an Outlook user, but DA suggested Palm Desktop was better. What do people suggest?
Does anyone know of a download for Pocket PC that will allow me to look at the 30 Day calendar screen and have my appointments appear in each daily box on the screen?
I've been sort of collecting suggestions and tips on using this program. I've been using it for a little while now and I'm really starting to like it. We had quite an extended discussion about OneNote about a month or two ago. Is there anyone out there still using or testing it? I'd like to...
I recently discovered the answer to my GTD/Palm cravings: Note Studio. Rather than provide a long narrative description, I've uploaded about a half-dozen screen shots to ClieSource: http://snipurl.com/60nv Bottom-line: it's similar to having a website on your device, in my case, a TH55. I've...
What is the best productivity and finance software for the Palm OS? I'd like something that integrates the To Do list with the Calendar mainly, with more of an action oriented set up versus the regular "check off item" form. I'm thinking something that allows one to have categories and then some...
I can't seem to find the thread now but somebody talked about Masterlist. I have downloaded it and have been enjoying it, it plays well with outlook. Is anybody else useing it and if so how has it been going? Thanks in advance for your help?
I've start using a Palm PDA with the "vanilla" built-in apps to implement my GTD system. However, I'm not happy using Memos to track my projects. I personally prefer using an outliner with a strong desktop application. As a result, I'm experimenting with Bonsai. I know a lot of people use...
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',...
I just posted an interview with Mike Jetter, founder of Mindjet on my Office and Tablet PC blogs. Mike's story is inspirational (he developed the first versions of MindManager while battling leukemia) and provides a great example of visualizing wild success. Hope you enjoy it.
I am getting ready to replace eight banker's boxes that are filled with reference and active papers with real file cabinets. I would appreciate anyone's experience with brands or models that have proven satisfactory and those that have not. I have four metal ones but the drawers were temporarily...
I just finished up a new Outlook addin called "While You Were Out" or WYWO for short. It allows your assistant to take a message in Outlook, send you a formatted e-mail message with all the details, and then create an (optional) GTD-compliant Outlook task. You can read about it on my blog (see...
I am in that moment that I need to change my laptop... I am a geek and that process is every 18 months. I got a new job! and my job is going to require a PC, that maybe means the end of my story with Apple, because I will probably get the a laptop that let me do work and pleasure, therefore the...
I don't work for anyone in the tech industry (anymore!), but I have to report that I have finally found a native Mac solution that seems to work *perfectly* with how I use GTD. I've tried iCal/Address Book, Now-Up-To-Date, Entourage, Palm Desktop, LifeBalance, and maybe others which currently...
Hi All, After reading the GTD book more, I was convicted of my need to inprove my typing skills. I watched my new department chairman type in his internet password without looking at the keyboard. I thought, "Wow, if I could do that, my life would go so much faster." For example, I hit the...
My DYMO LetraTag QX50 just stopped working after about six weeks of good service. I am getting an error message of Error 1. I have cleaned it, replaced the batteries, visually inspected it for damage, replaced the cartridge, and replaced the cartridge. For a few labels, it started working again,...
I've posted an article about using Mybase for implementing GTD. This approach is quite different than using Outlook or similar tools, so it won't be for everyone. However, I find that combining Mybase's unique collection and reference tools with a simple method for tracking projects and actions...
Hi gang, I've been doing GTD for about a month now (Green Belt, I guess), and I have a question regarding outliners. Are they really necessary? I see so many people raving about Bonsai and ShadowPlan. I'm using a plain vanilla system (similar to PigPog) with a sync to Outlook. Nowhere in...
Does anyone know what has happened to Bill Kratz? :( His use of the contact feature in Oultook for projects is brilliant and works well for me in Outlook 2003. I do remember that he had come up with a method for synching project information to a Palm, but I cannot access this information. ...
I just bought a reconditioned Palm C -. Since I have not been using a Palm I thought the best NA would be to use the plain vanilla set up that David describes. My question involves the "memo lists". I have put several in and when I go to click it perhaps one of the items from another list shows up...
In getting up to speed on GTD using a Palm IIIxe, I notice that I can’t make shortcuts that will print @Read, @Next, etc. but only Read, Next. Does anyone have a suggestion for a way of getting the @ to print, or of substituting a character, or do people find that Read or Next will do as well as...
