Community Forums: PUBLIC: Discuss Gear & Software for GTD

Hi, I've been practicing GTD using MyLife Organized. The features are exactly what I want, but the program is full of bugs and I often have crashes. I need suggestions for other software. I'm looking for the following features: - Hierarchical ToDo list, and every item can be marked as a...

I am seriously thinking about getting a Motorola Droid. Does anyone have an Android based phone they're using for GTD? Any apps you can recommend? Best practices? I'm currently using an iPod Touch with Action Lists and Appigo Todo. Though I like both apps, they each have something wrong...

Just realised that having a physical tickler system is cumbersome. You have to check it everyday (when you may not even need to) and that goes against the point of a tickler IMO of “forgetting about it until the day you need to be reminded of it”. Using a calendar as your tickler system is...

Hi GTD'ers, I'm trying to ensure that the hard edges between calendar items and next actions doesn't become blurred. I'm using Outlook on both my PC and PDA and I'm finding that I'm using dated tasks for day specific next actions, rather than calendar all day events. Outlook is setup to...

I'm tired of carrying around large smartphones. Does anyone know of a small flip-type phone that can sync with Outlook? (Just the contacts are fine). I would love one the size of the old StarTac or Razr.

I have been working hard to remove dates from next actions that really should be done as soon as feasible, but that don't really have a due date. At that same time, I had to move from Palm to Blackberry. The Blackberry now is occasionally adding bogus, random dates to some of these undated tasks...

My apologies if this has already been posted. I did a quick search, didn’t see anything. I like fine pens but I tend to lose them (I'm still not entirely convinced they don’t grow legs and walk away, or are abducted by alien life forms) so it doesn’t make sense for me to buy expensive ones. I...

Hey all you GTDers, I've put together what I hope to be a useful method for simple digital integration using Gmail / Google calendar and the ipod touch. Once you get this system set up it works pretty smoothly. You can find the details here . Hope this helps!

There is a free website called BoundlessLiving.com. It is a social network (.ning) site specifically for people interested in using Law of Attraction to reach goals and getting support and accountability from members. They are in the middle of their 4th 45-day challenge (you can jump in anytime)....

I am trying to find someplace that sells non-DRMed versions of Getting Things Done and Making It All Work. I work on Macs, PCs and Linux machines throughout the day, and would like the books available to me on a thumb drive for quick reference in either PDF or (preferably) ePub format. Sadly...

I've been using the GTD Addin for Outlook for a couple of years and I love the functionality. It's really helped me get more organized. What I've not been doing is my weekly review (yeah, I know, I know). What's the best way to do that with the addin? Are there reports or filters or views? With...

Been using an Iomega 750g minimax HD for back up of photo's, music etc for an old Macbook laptop running OSX 10.4.11 but all of a sudden, it's decided not to mount on the desktop. I think it's just short of 2 years old and wouldn't expect a drive failure at that age. It's making some sort of disk...

I got to know this application and sort of did a review on it. For folks that uses OneNote alot and have the iPhone or iPod touch and would like to have it on the go and view it offline you can give this a try. Its subscription based but the iphone app is free MobileNoter for iPhone: Syncs...

Hi all. There was a post in the GTD section that referred people to my Mighty Notes note-taking system. I believe it would be better placed in this section... Mighty Notes is a designed to elevate ease of and insight into note taking for business purposes. It's not software; it's a methodology...

Maybe it's time for me to find another way or spend a bunch of other money to update my system but... ...is anybody here still using the older Palm setup & realizing that USB Hot Sync doesn't work with Vista/Window 7 64 bit, there is only one way to Hot Sync - Bluetooth. It's a pain because it's...
