I recently started using Microsoft OneNote 2007 as part of my GTD system. My GTD "hub" is still my task list in Outlook, but I do use OneNote for three purposes: 1. Capturing daily notes on the fly for future processing, 2. managing projects, and 3. storage of reference material. I...
Hi My plan Tungsten has finally given up the ghost, and I've decided I'd like to get a smartphone so that I need only carry one device with me instead of a PDA and a mobile. I'm just looking at what's out there, and wondered if anyone could recommend a good looking phone that synchs with...
I have the outlook plugin which I've been using for over a year, and am pretty dependent on. This syncs to my Motorola Q and for task mgmt I use Oxios. Has worked well enough for runway level, which is sadly where I've been operating for a long time. Essentially, outlook is my trusted system and if...
I'm a frequent reader of the Business of Software forum (a forum for software developers) and I came across some new software posted yesterday. www.smarttodolist.com I tried the trial version, it seems pretty decent. Just thought you would be interested. This forum is great, I've been looking...
My job requires me to travel between three locations on a weekly basis. I have read the postings on how people process their meeting notes. My problem is that I need my notes taken at a previous location handy when I am at a different location for fear I will have to refer to meeting notes taken....
I'm curious if anyone knows if ScanCards or Executive Gallery is still around? Their website and phone number still works, but I have left voicemails and not gotten any return calls. Additionally, the emails I have sent get bounced back. I've seen past threads regarding ScanCards but they are from...
I'm thinking about trying PlanPlus for Outlook v5. I currently use the GTD Add In and like most of the features, but I think there could be better ways to view Projects and their Next Actions. Seems there has been some past conversation with regard to this so I'd like to hear how some folks use and...
I was wondering if anyone is using the new HP iPAQ 211 and how they like it. Also, what software are you using?
I've been trying to use GTD for about two months now and though there have been some improvement, my organization is no where near the level I need it to be at. The good thing, however, is that I'm starting to get a better idea of my requirements for getting the system to work better, and that...
Nozbe (the online GTD software) creator Michael Sliwinski offers a very affordable plan for families. He has just announced it in his GTD Times article: GTD at Home - Your Family Can Get Things Done!. As far as I know it is the first attempt to create the software tool for family implementation...
Anyone using this for GTD. I have not used electronic for a few years and i kind of miss it especially for calendar and contacts. Not sure about future of palm so i thought that if i got back into electronic i would go for newer technology. I am too cheap for the IPhone so thought the IPod would be...
I received my Lenovo ThinkPad X300 a few days ago, and have been very pleased with it so far. It is light like the Mac Book Air, but more practical, with a thin optical drive and numerous ports. CNET, the Wall Street Journal, and Notebook Magazine agree. I ordered it with XP Pro instead of...
I've recently become a fan of Mindmanager and I'm looking to expand my use of it to cover management of projects and tasks in a more visual way that is more creative and gives a better view of progress and priorities. The big BUT is that Mindmanager does not seem to cope with the idea that a...
I just chanced upon this and it looks very easy to use and compatible with GTD. It is time and task manager for people with ADD/ADHD. http://skoach.com./ You have keep clicking around to find the 3 versions, of which the basic is free. I am curious if anyone has used it and his/her...
I love my Lotus Notes system and how it works with my blackberry....one major limiting factor is that fact that I cannot sort my "tasks" (i.e. next action) lists by category on the blackberry (but can on Lotus Notes). I have overcome some of this by writing the word of the category in the main...
Michael Linenberger wrote a couple of highly-regarded books which I first became aware of from posts on these forums. His first book on how to use the Tablet PC most effectively as a productivity tool brought him considerable acclaim. This was followed by "Total Workday Control Using Microsoft...
Recently, an executive at a large global consulting firm with over 100K Lotus Notes users called me to ask for help implementing GTD in Lotus Notes. He told me that he was feeling overwhelmed at work with a growing number of projects and responsibilities and, in his pursuit of a solution, he had...
I'm not sure how unusual this scenario is, but regardless, I could really use some advice. I work for a company with Lotus Notes as the email client. I have a Blackberry that I love, but cannot be connected to the Enterprise Server at work. I do have BES service, from a hosted Outlook service...
I'm using the tasks feature in Outlook, with a reminder date and time set to most tasks. I'm noticing a problem with updated reminder times not being synced correctly and was hoping someone here might have a solution. Here is my set-up: Desktop PC running Vista with Office 2007 Laptop PC...
I need a task software program that will allow me to see tasks by reminder times. I deal with multiple deadlines and if I'm not being alerted about this or that, I will forget to the address them. I find this works really well with the two minute rule, especially with projects that are delegated...
