My maiden post and hello to everyone. I just did a review on this iphone app that i think could be classify as something good for productivity. It enables you to backup your desktop documents and be viewable through web, mobile web browser, iPhone application. I think there are a few around...
Hey everyone, first of all, maybe this problem has been answered on this forum, but I couldnt find it. Sorry for spamming if there is a similar thread to this one. I have a question regarding the GTD plugin for Outlook 2007. Just installed it yesterday, and, having watched all the...
I just discovered an interesting way to use MS Outlook as a tickler system: Start a new email to yourself, and while composing it go to View/Options. Go to "Delivery Options," check the box next to "Do not deliver before:" and enter 6:00 am and the date you want to be tickled. Then complete...
I have been using the Palm Treos 700 with GTD Outlook AddOn. My device has worked very well but i am ready to go to the next generation. I have played with the Palm pre and like the feel of the device including the key board but I am really leary of giving up my existing GTD add on system for list...
Taking a seminar style class, sometimes there is a handout on which I might take notes. Rest of the times I use paper and even with the handout many useful topics are elucidated and references alluded to (authors, titles), so notes are really worthwhile. We sit around a conference table. ...
Does anyone have a recommendation for a remote backup service for Outlook? I'm looking either for something that will backup continuously -- like SugarSync (which can't back up Outlook) -- or do a nightly incremental backup. I'm looking to backup to the cloud -- I already do a nightly backup to a...
I know this is a bit off of the GTD subject, but it does have to do with being more effective. In my new position, I will be traveling alot more and require a bag that can effectively handle my laptop and all of the other papers and stuff I have to schlep back and forth to the office and on my...
I'm happy to announce Listmaker, a new iPhone app that synchronizes its data with an online web service. Listmaker is a minimalist list making app that synchronizes its lists to Toodledo.com for online access. Although Listmaker can be used as a simple to do list, it is not meant to be a...
Anyone using a GTD system on their Treo755p with the palm desktop software? I'm curious as to how you're utilizing it.
Hi All, While shopping in Asda (here in UK) yesterday, I noticed in their stationery section, two VERY Moleskine like notepads for a ridiculously cheap price. They're Asda own brand and are called "Asda Executive Notepad" - but you can't really tell them apart from the Moleskine's they're...
I've been struggling with plate spinning for a long time. Part of the problem was having too many plates, the other problem was I never really got to the "trusted system" level. Played around with the GTD Outlook add-in, MLO, Outlook by itself -- nothing was simple/elegant and it always felt like...
I am considering buying an iPhone to replace my personal Blackberry (since it is dying). My issue is that I currently use my personal Blackberry to sync with my work PC that runs Lotus Notes - I mainly sync contacts, calendar and to do lists, but not email. However, from my understanding,...
It is great that many people love our NextAction! for BlackBerry and we even got feedback from the folks at the David Allen Co. for future version. We are constantly looking to improve NextAction! and make everyone's life more productive. Based on the same approach of easy context (category)...
I do not know about you, but I am a very analytical person and really love very granular data. On my quest to implement GTD for myself, I came across a very cool open source tool called Manic Time (I am not sure if I can post a link here yet since I only have a few posts, but here goes:...
My omnifocus app was so slow on the iphone that it was almost unusable. I just found a tip that has solved the problem and wanted to share it with you. OF is a great app btw. http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=13088
All, I have Outlook 2003 and a Blackberry. I use my task list as my universal capture and by and large it works well except for two things that may just be my idiosyncrasies: 1) Is there an easy way to tally how many tasks are either active or waiting on someone else? In the lower left hand...
I've been playing with NextAction 2.0 for the Blackberry and think it is great. Here's a link with more info on NextAction 2.0. I created a custom form in Outlook that breaks out the project and context info that NextAction creates into standalone fields. It is a very simple solution and...
I wanted to pass on an additional tool I just found to handle your project files. Sometimes I have scribbled notes, etc. on my folders, that are in progress. There is no need to do that with these folders. These have preprinted spaces for various entries. The only issue is that these folders are...
What are apps are people using to support GTD on the iPhone?
Hi all, I am currently trying to work out two major kinks in my system. I'll preface the issues below by saying that I use ToDoMatrix on my BlackBerry as my main "things" and project keeper. As far as incoming things go, Gmail is definitely my busiest "inbox". Like most everyone here, I...
