On the left side bar, just below the link called "Contacts," is one called "Tasks." Click that and the Task window will appear.

Life Balance was a GTD-type program even before GTD was first publicized (i.e. the publication of the book in 2001), in that it connects tasks and projects in an outliner with a task list by place (=...
I tried it out and have found it hard to understand. I will keep trying it during the evaluation period. Still, I have tried lots of these new GTD apps and am learning that there isn't any real...
Following a suggestion by Ratz, it is extremely easy in Life Balance to check for projects with no next actions.
(If what I write below does not make sense, come back to it after you have tried the...
Saw a book displayed in the New Fiction Section of my local Barnes and Noble yesterday, called "The Two Minute Rule." My heart skipped a beat. At last someone has written a novel in which the...
If you're a Mac (and/or Windows and/or Palm handheld) user, one of the best is Life Balance. Go to

You must be referring to the unabridged book on CD: the abridged version does have David reading (except for the chapter titles).

Life Balance for the Mac & Windows. (and the Palm, with excellent synchronization) does a fantastic job of connecting Next Actions by Project (in its Outline View) and by Context (in its To-Do List...
I thought the article was a very clear summary of what GTD is about, and it has helped me explain the system to others; indeed, it has helped my own understanding-- specifically, the part where...
I have struggled with this as well, and being a Mac user I have not been able to take advantage of the Bonsai Desktop program. At first, I just used the To Do list and Palm desktop: I listed each...
There are lots of outliners for Palm that do what you ask for easily (desktop and linking to To Do) For PC users, Bonsai from natara.com has a good desktop and on the Palm has excellent linking. An...
If you have access to a Mac, the Palm Desktop software for Mac allows you to sort tasks (to-dos) alphabetically on the desktop. I use this to help me see if my projects have next actions assigned.
