Community Forums: PUBLIC: Discuss Gear & Software for GTD

I've tried using Evernote as my GTD tool and didn't like it much, now trying RTM but it's not working too well for me so far. Can anyone please reccomend an app that both follows the normal GTD methodology/terminolgy, has desktop/webapp version as well as Android version? Preferably free, but...

I thought I'd mention a new capture method I've started since the beginning of the year. I've taken the basic principles and Journal layout of Action Method and tailored it to my specific needs. In the end while I like the Behance Books, I wanted a little more detail to be available to me on the...

If you are still looking for a filing cabinet in the UK, buy a Bisley filing cabinet that takes "compressor plates". It will have two paralell rows of small insertion holes in the floor of each drawer. It isn't clear on their website which models do take the plates so call them or your local office...

I don't know if I'm becoming too impatient and grumpy, but my intermittent searches for Mac software - primarily contact information and appointments - suggests that there is nothing reliable enough for business use, and perhaps never will be. Here are some examples - Address Book sporadically...

Hello all, I like to keep track of certain things in a spread sheet. At the moment I email myself with details that I want to go into it at various times of the day so that I can remember the information to go into it. Is there any software that would allow me to email the spreadsheet and...

I am just making some improvements to my filing cabinet which had become too full and thus was tricky to put things inside. I remembered David allen talking about slidable metal things that can be adjusted to make the folders sit up without using pendaflex folders. That's a great tip but I have...

Hi, Has anyone tried the combination above for GTD? I am really interested in the idea of having OneNote at least viewable in a mobile device, and then I am assuming that tasks would still sync as per Outlook and older windows mobile versions. I still havent had the chance to take a good look at...

Does anyone use a dedicated email account as a collection tool or for any other gtd / organistion purposes. Keeping it separate from your actual proper email account I am wanting to discover if there is s gtd use for email. I have an iPhone and find that emailing myself ideas etc is a good way...

There are so many apps available, many with impressive lists of features, but I still can't find any as simple and effective as those that came with my old PalmIII. Granted, I want a web interface now rather than a client desktop, but the function is the same. To me, the biggest need is to be...

How can I make a notebook with files for next actions, review, maybe/someday, call, watting for? I have the idea to input my "real" notebook into a document which I can view online. I thought of looking for a notebook template with tabs. Word doc has one. Mac pages does not :( Then, I...

I am looking for some good quality plastic folders, preferably with pocket that i can use for my various projects. I have found that the pocket folders work much better than 3-ring binder system. I have tried to the office superstores but never am able to find any that last very long. Thanks, ...

Sometimes these topics on tools vs methods overlap, but I think this is a relevant point and it means a lot to me. Where we come from and when we got in the game of "time/self management" is crucial to the GTD method. I fancy myself a pragmatic person, which means I am all about what works. That...

I thought I would share my experience here. For Outlook and Blackberry I purchased NextAction Pro and Desktop applications. http://www.s4bb.com/software/nextaction/ It's not cheap, but I think it is the best way to sync Blackberry and Outlook. I use Outlook 2007 on a company Exchange...

I have a weekly review with my manager and I want to keep all the tasks related to her in one location. Currently, I've found that I either create an Action (@Manager) or create a separate project (Manager) and sort by these views/reports. Any other good options/ideas?

During Mastering Projects & Actions Webinar - Sept 2009, Kelly states that Outlook will not allow you to create lists underneath lists and suggests creating another category / context.

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 would like to at least experience what it is like to empty my gmail inbox. However something always seems to stop me doing this. I think that the biggest thing that stops me is that if I delete an email, it will make it awkward to retrieve later should the unexpected happen. What if I needed...
