    I think graphicdetails is right - once I've called the fire department, the next action in "put out grease fire" (which is a project, not an action!) should be "wait for fire department". And that...

    Getting single-threaded

    A lot of times I become what programmers call "single-threaded" - I work down my Next Action list in a linear fashion, and when something important is undoable, I get blocked. For example, say my...

    Brilliant!! That will look much nicer than my ply-paper (especially since they didn't quite cut the pieces the same size).

    I actually called and asked the store about that very item last week (we have one of the few Levenger stores here in Boston). They told me it was fairly light. If you know otherwise, let me know! ...

    Yep, I can verify that; I just joined GTD Connect, linked up my forum account, and that link now works.

    So maybe your GTD Connect expired, or got unlinked somehow?

    Manual translation

    I'm not a mod/admin here, but I do speak both admin-ese and user-ese fluently, and I can help translate.

    I do see that the thread you point to is missing, but I can't imagine why - there's no...

    Well, if you just explain that to a sysadmin, they're going to (a) explain how they can't give you, a mere user, admin rights, and (b) talk to you for hours about how one guy with admin rights...

    More the "least worst", in the Churchill/democracy way, unless something's changed lately.

    Well, it sounds like there are a lot of "cold, dead hands" Palm lovers here, so you may be making the right choice! :)

    That said, a lot depends on what software you're using. Are you syncing...

    My PPC (HP 4700, upgraded to WM5) seems to crash more often than most of my Palms did; maybe once a week during bad periods. But I'm using a lot of things that we'd have called "hacks" in the Palm...
  11. An ultra-portable, highly compatible, low-cost notepad/UCT

    It's so simple it's silly.

    PDAs are clunky, expensive, and can't import from the apps you want.

    Notebooks are bulky and, if you're a jeans type of guy, are difficult to carry. (Men with...

    At this point in the game, I wouldn't recommend a Palm for anyone if you plan to install and depend on third-party applications. Or maybe even syncing.

    As always, there's a balance between "well-structured" and "limited". Is your @errands list paper, or digital? If digital, what software?

    @cornell: I checked out the Steelmaster ones at the store, but still too light. I need at least 5 pounds (the cat is 20). Perhaps I could cast one out of molten iron.

    treelike makes a great point. And looking back at your post, you say that "low energy" means you can't decide what to do.

    Heavy physical inbox?

    I need a physical, letter-sized inbox that:

    * Stacks two high
    * Is completely open on the edge, no lip
    * Faces "sideways" (e.g. the long edge is the open edge)
    * Is as enclosed as possible on...
