I've combined the @Call and @Email lists into an @Contact list. I Call, Email or Text all the same from my phone or my home or work desks.

I also have just 1 @Work list, since I agree, it's a...

I think the sad truth is that that is societies ideal. The guy in the class or meeting who rattles facts and numbers off from memory is generally considered smarter than the guy leafing through his...

I pretty much have two distinct systems, although "system" may be a strong word for my work environment. In my main personal system (Google Tasks and calendar, and Evernote), I have a single context...

I think it's been covered, but I agree, both of those are reference items, notes, not Next Actions.

When a birthday comes up, you can review your "Potential Gifts" list; or, if it's...

I used RTM for a year, but found data entry to labor intensive.
I hate having to add a task, hit enter, scroll through my list select the task, check Edit, then add tags, dates, notes etc. Way...

I'm back to Google Tasks with the Android GTasks app. Google tasks may lack a little functionality, and have a really weak web interface, but the simplicity is more important to me than a couple of...

I've moved off of Evernote (again) for NA lists. It just required too many clicks. I still love it as my capture tool and note book. I think Evernote an awesome capture tool, but as I've added...

I was using Simple note, but the Web site Chrome plugin and Android apps are all made by different vendors, I was having difficulty keeping them in sync. I've since moved everything to Evernote; "1...

This about sums it up.

He's selling something, and it doesn't sound productive to me ...


If half of what he says on his "About Clay..." page is true, than I am duly impressed. Clearly he is...

I've gone through a lot of tools and ended up on Evernote, for NA lists and Notes, Google Calendar and Google Contacts.

Google is my default email, so contacts is just natural, but Calendar lets...

I feel your pain. My Palm III was the best, most trusted device I ever had. I loved graffiti, I could enter free form data directly into my system almost as fast as writing it on paper. I'm into...

I've struggled with this at times as well, especially on projects where the next action can change depending on the outcome of a previous action.

I'm using Evernote now, it's not perfect, but it...

A full inbox isn't a failure of GTD, or any other system, it's a reason you need a system. In my experience, there are two reasons why my inbox backs up, 1) I'm not dedicating enough time to...

Day 3 leaving with an empty in box and loving it.

I have several scattered friends whom I see less often that I would like, so I understand exactly what you're talking about.

This is my approach (I won't say solution yet, since I still trying...

Nice to come in to day to only 20 something emails in the in box, most of those were batch generated, or routine notifications. Only 1 demanded immediate attention - and got it.

I knocked off...

Google Calendar works great for my family.

We maintain a calendar for each of our kids, and for work, I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my work Outlook to a separate Google Calendar.

I can see...

Great ideas.

I was unaware of the "Clean Up Folders" functionality. That is going to be useful when I have 30 reply to alls with 1 attachment I need.

I have created an "_Inbox_Backlog" folder...

OK, I'm making another commitment to get GTD rolling again. Email is my biggest remaining obstacle. I work in a culture where "Reply all" = CYA. It's kind of a game, as long as you've sent the...

I use an @Agenda list for things like that. @Agenda has people and places for whom I have multiple items. @Boss contains a list of things I'd like to discuss with him, @Hardware is a list of things...
