I am also thinking about getting a Droid.

But everything you want to do can be done with Life Balance, which has an app for iphone OS.

MyLifeOrganized handles time requirement well, and you could easily set up a reading parent task broken down into 10 children tasks as you describe. When you know you have 30 minutes available, you...

The TZ laminated label tape is very durable. None of my labels have come off, and they are about 7 or 8 years old.

In fact, the Centro is the fastest seller in Palm history.

Every endeavor has diminishing returns. 100% perfection is rarely worth the additional effort.

The memories and intuitions you have in the short term were CREATED by making the lists and reviewing them. Writing something down makes a stronger memory than not writing it down. Reviewing things...

It really doesn't matter if the Palm is a dying platform. One can still get years of good use out of a device that's no longer the new thing.

Upgrade to vi!

(Little computer geek joke. There used to be an editor debate about emacs versus vi. With vi, all editing can be with keystrokes extremely fast.)

After I became friends with a bunch of computer scientists, I learned that computers are not as baffled as I once thought. There are excellent pattern recognition systems and handwriting recognition...

I see several possible reasons for having trouble maintaining a project-action link.
1) Using tools ill-suited to do so (e.g., Outlook, paper).
Outlook and paper are probably the most widely used...

Hmm. Well, maybe so, but then I guess GTD is not the only way to get things done, or even necessarily the Best Way.


If you had been linking them previously, and reviewing them every other week,...

From the viewpoint of rationally analyzing the methodology of GTD, this answer leaves a lot to be desired.

First, the Weekly Review as described in the book is a long process that many people find...

Splitting projects is natural because the new subprojects should become new levels in the outline.

If you define a project by its successful desired outcome, that should rarely change. Under the...

If creating and maintaining project-action links is unproductively time-consuming, then that is a limitation of the tool(s) being used. It takes me no longer than about 3 additional seconds to create...

I didn't hear the podcast. But not needing an explicit project-action link requires having it in your head, or somehow identifying the project in the NAs. The people who are least likely to have the...

It is perfectly OK to start step by step. Many have done this. I could not stomach doing it all at once over several days, so I worked on my pile for weeks.

I use Life Balance and MyLifeOrganized and have extensively discussed them in other posts. Search the forums to find out more than you ever wanted to know. ;)

I shouldn't say that I have...

You will probably learn more by searching the MyLifeOrganized group.

Otherwise, I highly recommend simply trying it out. MLO is a lightweight app that you can simply download and run without...

Yes, it is a bit clunky, but it is the way to do this if you are writing action lists by hand. It is simply a disadvantage of the pen-and-paper tool.

You could also use a daily tickler. Instead of...

I don't like dividing lists by these other dimensions unless the items can appear in more than one list automatically.

Long lists are fine with me as long as they are roughly sorted by priority...
