I haven't been reading the "what's your profession" or "what's your biggest challenge" threads, so I've missed all this back-and-forth that's been going on. I just spent 5+ minutes reading this...

I heartily recommend Copernic. I've been using their desktop search for about a year now and have just switched over to the Beta of their version 2.

It is fast - I don't time the indexing, but...

Thanks for the link m_s - what a great post. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It actually makes me want to check out MLO again.

Hi there. I've been playing with Outlook and Macros for GTD for a few months now. I've posted them on my blog - go to http://gtdwannabe.blogspot.com/ and do a search for 'outlook macro' and you'll...

That's an interesting idea, a continual mindsweep. I find when I do the weekly review that there are no mindsweeps for me. Normally, when I'm doing the review, I'm focused on the review, and my...

I actually have 4 filing systems. Yikes. But it works for me. Here's what I have:


small box on desk = current projects - right in front of me, so I don't lose sight of them
one drawer of...

I also use 'all day' appointments to show things have have to be done on a certain day. Instead of marking them complete (how do you do that anyway, with an appointment?) and colouring them, I do...

Why stop? Why derail a good brainstorming train when it's going well? I love being in the 'flow' where I can see several things that need to be done; it saves me from having to get into the...

Steve Richards posts about how to configure it to do GTD for him. Pretty neat idea. I signed up :) What the heck, it's only $5.

Welcome CEB!

Don't be daunted - just start small. I've been learning GTD for 6+ months, so I'm still a relative newbie, but every week I learn something new. When I first started, the best...

EverNote is amazing. I've been using it for several months. I love the following:

automatic date/time of each note
hierarchical category list
assign multiple categories to any note (this is...

In response to TesTeq's questions:

I've just done a bit of a google search to learn what I could about the "rules" of the alpha bibliography style.

erinem,

I saw your post the other day but didn't have time to reply to it :) I'm a grad student too, but in computer science. I've never tried EndNote or its kin, because I write my papers in a...

Hey raisdbywolvz! Long time no hear! Would love to hear why EN isn't working for you as well now, but maybe do that offline.

As for your post. I ooze sympathy. I find my biggest problem is not...

I posted it about it here . There's more discussion about using categories here .

Basically, I use a couple of templates (Project Outline and GTD To Do (with dates)) for project administration. ...

The easiest way would be to include the project name in the NA itself. For example, Most of my NAs are of the form:

[Project] next action to be taken

If I'm looking for a specific project,...

I like Outlook because it syncs painlessly with my Palm. That said, I don't use it for email, just the Calendar and Task list. I didn't bother with the Add-in, because it didn't add much to my...

I don't think any sarcasm translates well into written text. It's a downfall of my emailing - I tend to wink at people a lot so they know I'm kidding ;) But now everyone thinks I'm just flirty! ...

Stuart, my spam comment was not related in any way to your nicely put together list of note-taking programs. It was aimed directly at the "sunny notes" post that started this thread. Does it not...

You've got to spend some time exploring EverNote :) ! The concept of having one note placed in multiple categories, the ability to automatically categorize (tag) notes, and the category...
