In a similar situation I'd be tempted to use your company's email program (Outlook?) if it's got list management capability or choose THE most flexible tool - paper and pen.

I've used a lot of...

Lots of platforms and flexibility to customize.

That feature definitely works as long as your iOS device is capable of Siri. My iPad is but not my iPhone 4.

In my own system I tried both and found each very fast. In the end I gravitated to...

It's one of the few tools that stays out of my way while I use it.

One of my favorite features is highlighting a bit of text and have the option of "New" to create a new Draft page. It really...

OmniFocus takes a little effort to simplify it to be an effective GTD system but I found the payoff worthwhile. I'd suggest the DAC set-up guide and Kelly's GTD Connect webinar (e.g. sign up for a...

I haven't heard of a way.

Would something like Mail Tags help?

I tried the workaround you mentioned and found it was just too much effort for the minimal...

I've always had a large S/M list (300+) and have experimented with a single list versus segments.

My latest experiment is using three segments:

Someday/Aversion - I could move forward but...

Be careful not to blend the process and organize phases.

Process is thinking about the item and walking through the Workflow Diagram - What is it? Etc. You can only trust your organizing choice...

My primary list making tools are OmniFocus and Mindjet so I tend to start here.

In OmniFocus I have a project folder for each horizon level - Projects, Areas of Focus, etc. I use the OmniFocus...

I think David outlines these two things well.

Goals are merely another horizon to define and priorities are a decision you make during the "Do" phase.

I've found the key to making Goals work...

Something you could try as an experiment - start with just one outcome you'd like to mark off as "done".

Start with a single sheet of paper and dump every idea, phrase, thought, etc. about this...

I used a Time/Design system for years and tossed my lists. I can't recall an issue with that strategy. If you need some of that data later I'd suggest using other lists - e.g. "Projects Completed"...

I just wish they'd get the basics right.

I find the iPad app unreliable as it crashes and loses notes often.

I've experienced so many lost notes or parts of notes that I'm very close to giving...

My digital in sources are in three areas:

1. OmniFocus - my primary collection point. The iPad version is my most frequently used and favorite version. I also have the desktop and iPhone...

This was my big "ah-ha" moment when I listened to the David Co. Projects audio CD set.

A project list is just a simple list of each successful outcome - the tops of the file folders as David calls...

I've been using the Mac OS and iOS to organize my GTD system for some time now. OmniFocus is the core of my system.

But if I was forced to use a PC with an iOS device I'd try to lean on iCloud...

Aside from everything above, I've found three things help me deal with the volume of my lists:

1. Use Someday/Maybe a lot
During my Weekly Reviews I find many things on my next actions list that...

I've always looked at that quote as a natural aversion to adopting this workflow process.

A big pile of physical in or an email box with 1,000 things is one place. But there is another natural...

I use a combination of Apple's Address Book (renamed soon to Contacts) and 1Password for contact management in my GTD system.

While not literally connected they work well in my system which has...

I have yet to encounter something that can't fit into my GTD system.

Some of those sound like things you can mark off as "done" - i.e. a 10,000 Foot Project: Finish a marathon, write a book, etc....
