I cannot find such shortcut, and it's often a very useful thing (especially for pasting urls into notes). Does it exist, or do I need to click?

David Allen and I will be presenting a special web event on April 28 just for people that use IBM Lotus Notes. (This event is free but space is limited.) Visit http://www.eProductivity.com/GTDWebinar to reserve your place or get more details. Many of you already know that David Allen and I...

One part of GTD works for me really well and I've been doing it for maybe five years now. That's gathering all inputs in small number of places (these are one paper folder for physical objects, one folder on my desktop, and one folder in my mailbox - reducing this numbers seems rather pointless). ...

Hello all, Does anyone have a good (Outlook or other) tweak on how to deal with quick 1-2 day projects and their follow-up? Heres the scenario: I use Outlook + (usually) two separate ERP's (enterprise resource planning). I get customer info out from ERP's and send it via Outlook to 4-6...

Specifically, the @online/@offline context. I frequently travel (with my laptop) and sometimes I have a net connection and sometimes I don't. Let me toss @airplane in just for fun. Every computer related action *can* be done online. For others, I don't really have to be online. It would be nice...

Wikipedia describes AutoHotkey as a: 'Free, open source macro-creation and automation software utility which allows users to automate repetitive tasks' I have been using this tool for a couple of years for a number of different tasks, and it helped me a lot in my job as a project manager in...

Finally think I got a system that works. This is for mac users with a Droid phone. I use Intermedia as my hosted exchange service. About $40 a month. I use Entourage Web Edition. This is a free update for 2008 users which now supports syncing of categories. I use Touchdown Exchange by Nitrodesk...

I am a bit confused about where to park next actions related to projects. I know it must be context based but do I also need to park them in a separate folder for that project so I can see all the actions related to that project in one place? If not, how do I know this item is related to this...

I was watching the recent posts about keeping a single place/master list of all action/projects. Is there a good way to do this using Entourage. Any other tips and this time would help. I am a single-shingle management consultant & CEO coach. Here is where I am in my process of implementing GTD:...

So here is why I showed up here. I have a Droid phone, run Entourage (Outlook for Mac) and use Microsoft exchange (hosted by 3rd party Intermedia). The app on the phone is called Exchange by Touchdown by Nitrodesk. The phone syncs with the server using Active Sync (the only option). Guess what?...

I'd like to fully implement GTD in my digital world. I am still trying to get fully moved over from my Thinkpad WinTel days to my new Mac Mini, and with the exception of the Data/information I use in Outlook, I'd say I'm successful. But work remains. I have tried the Virtual Machine setups,...

I was a long time PDA user in the pre-smart phone days. Because of I have no need for a smart phone and am really turned off by being so connected, I went back to a paper system when my PDA died. Of course there are pros and cons of going paper vs. going electronic as you all know. However,...

You're were using Nokia setup. How do you do it?

Hi, I've been using GTD for almost 2 years now. My system is based on my PPC phone (samsung omnia). I use listpro for managing my lists and inbuilt outlook ppc client synced with google calendar for managing my appointments. I am pretty happy with my system but it has one minor drawback that...

I have used the PALM OS since PALM began, most recently the Treo 700. I like that I am able to utilize GTD with the tasks, calendar, contacts, and memo features. It ismportant to me to have the mobility the hand-held affords me and to be able to view/manage the same information on my desktop...

I just purchased the GTD coordinator and I'm really loving it. It's use is pretty well documented with the included literature but I still have a couple of questions... Where do you put Areas of Focus? Where do you put vision, purpose & principals? Thanks in advance for the help.

Does anyone else use IdeaMatrix or ToDoMatrix on their Blackberry? If so, please share your tip/tricks and how you have setup your database. www.rexwireless.com For a GTD mobile app I give it 10/10. :cool:

Is there anyway to set things up in Outlook such that when I am reading an email or when I am in a Word Document I can more quickly open a new task in a small window without losing my view of the email or Word document I am looking at. At present my procedure is click on tasks, click on new task,...

This seems so basic, but I am confused about using Outlook 2007 for GTD - primarily because I don't understand how to distinguish between Next Action (NA) lists and Project lists. I DO understand the difference between a project and a NA. I downloaded and read the whitepaper on GTD and Outlook...

Hi all, I posted this in the member connect forums, but I wanted to see if the general audience has any thoughts. Our old HP All-in-One printer is dying and we're thinking about getting a replacement. We require one that has a fax-to-PC ability. Basically, this enables the AiO printer to...
