When I open Outlook 2003, it directly jumps to the Mail View. But is it possible to make the Task View the default view for Outlook 2003? It would save me 1-3 seconds everytime I open Outlook 2003 as I mainly use it for tasks.
Does anyone have any good sites to purchase stock music from? We are producing some pod casts and want something good.. we have been using www.stock20.com, but looking for something a bit more modern..
I don't have an exchange server, and I'm using a mac. Gmail and Gcal syc great with the blackberry. I'm wondering if there is anything outside of google that will do this for tasks or notes? Thanks!
I evaluated several different mobile PC phones because my Siemens SX66 was ending it's useful life. I was skeptical of iPhone because of lack of ability to syn tasks with Outlook, but was persuaded by a good friend of its merits. I am SOOO happy I chose I phone. Love the visual voicemail. I get...
Does anyone know of a CRM / contact management application that can work on a USB stick? I've looked all over the place and can't find what I'm looking for. I don't need a sales-tracking package, or anything sophisticated like that. Let's say I make a new contact. I'll drop him a line...
I'm implementing the GTD and doing good so far but so far I have noticed something that will be my weak link; adding notes and storing them as refs or actual NA support or both. to build a trusted system I want to have a smooth note entry and file reference system. Anyone out there have a smart...
I am writing 5 essays for my graduate classes. Without Mindmanager my mind would be hung up on all the ideas that are falling out of my head. How do you use Mindmanager to facilitate the writing process? Do you use another software for writing?
For a small 3-ring binder--specifically 1/2" ring size, and 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" paper, I have searched and only found one source, called Quincy Stationary. The Quincy Binder, is what you might call "adorable" but is cloth covered seemingly thin cardboard and very expensive. I don't think this will...
A forum post recommended Sciral Consistency as an alternative to an NA list for repeating tasks, such as new daily habits you want to form (which you can sure have in learning a new system such as GTD). I really liked the idea, and started off by setting target ranges for my new habits with a...
David keeps talking about Mindmanager. There's a bunch of Mindmapping programs out there, which one does he use? Is it MindManager by Mindjet?
Last week, my MacBook hard disc failed. Fortunately, being in London I was able to go to the Apple Store and have a new one installed. I have reinstalled my Office 2004 but when I click on to Entourage, get the message: "This identity cannot be opened with this version of Entourage." It...
I did a search in the forums and I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but I just got turned onto Samurize, a cool free Windows program that lets you embed text files on your desktop. You can see an example of it above. So what you can now do is open up the file, add change or delete, and when...

I'm in the process of reading through GTD and want to implement the process. One of the things that I want is the a smartphone to enter tasks, appointments and keep reminders in. I really don't want on email on demand, though with my job, I might end up using it if I have the capability. I...
I really, really, want a MacBook Air, not least because I want to know what the fuss is about (I switched from Mac to PC around 1995). But I'm an Outlook and Exchange Server addict and couldn't live with out my PC, MacBook and Blackberry all having the same calendar, contacts, email, tasks and...
Hi, I am using NextAction! since its first release on my BlackBerry to implement my GTD over there. It is pretty slim and works really good and fast for me. Definitely worth the investment. Anyway, I have seen the make of NextAction! released a new program called TaskMaster which is also capable...
I read on another site about an add-in called GTD Police. Does anyone know where to get it? It was apparently included in a forum note quite a while ago.
All: I have been reading thru your posts recently trying to get some help on a few things. I used to use Act for years. We now use Outlook (for e-mail), and I just don't want to go back to Act. I'd like to find an Act alternative for Outlook. Basically, I am more and more task oriented. When...
For those of you using Windows Mobile, could you tell me if there is a way to sync tasks from a smartphone to Outlook by using a bluetooth connection or a USB cable? I want to be able to sync tasks between laptop and the phone. The manual for the Motorola Q 9c says I can't sync tasks with a USB...
