I generally never have or make the time to read anything that provides me that much information on any software. I like your phrase "appalling levels of organization"--if I had to weed through that...

I didn't mean to imply that you were not familiar with OF. I've heard it has too MANY features! The GTD Implementation Guide seems to provide a seamless, useful, and more streamlined approach.
...

I wonder if working through the new(ish) Omnifocus setup guide and watching the OF webinar might help. I've heard that OF has lots of features that you just need to ignore. My ipad version is so...

I'm curious as to why you stopped using Omnifocus. I'm a PC user and use OF on an iPad because I really like it. BUT

If I had to go a different direction, I'd take a good hard look at Evernote,...

Really? I've been practicing GTD for over 10 years now. I spend minutes..MINUTES...on my system everyday. Your comments don't even begin to describe the GTD that I practice, know, and love.

So...

I remember an In Conversation but not a webinar.

You can either put stuff like that in a file called "Action Support" (with an appropriate action in your system linking to it) or in a tickler file.

Just be sure "think about" isn't really just...

Hard deadlines should be on your calendar and making sure they aren't creeping up on you is one of the main reasons for doing a weekly review.

Your question is a very good one and I was confused on the same issues when I first started (over 10 years ago). I hope my answer is simple enough to help you.

A "next action" really is nothing...

I'm totally onboard with making those decisions in the morning. I'm not as appointment-driven as so many others are and my lists are my guideposts for the day. I pick from them carefully and they...

I do exactly what you do. I wouldn't call it unorthodox or non-GTD thinking either. I've heard even David Allen does this, at least sometimes. I just don't want to have to sift through my various...

I told the people in my life that forward jokes, videos and stuff like that to me that I cut back on my data plan and had to pay a LOT to receive things like this. Most people are FAR too busy to...

This is exactly what I do. I don't keep sensitive things there due to the possibility of hacking, but Evernote ROCKS!

I use a PC, iPhone and iPad. Syncing has always been flawless for me.

I can't help you with 1, but Evernote has no problem with you leaving and taking your stuff with you. Check out their rather extensive Q&A.

I also don't understand the venom with which these people spew their hatred of GTD! My gosh! It's a life management system, not a political philosophy, a religious cult, or some kind of subversive...

I am one of those people that was born to follow some kind of system. I started in high school (I won't tell you how many years ago that was, but it was a LOT!) I used Daytimer, Franklin Covey, you...

Santa Barbara is probably one of the most beautiful towns in the U.S. Most people would give anything to live there. Go figure. Ojai is not far away.

Yes, I heard the same thing and almost fell out of the chair.

Since I was decluttering the entire house, I did 15 minutes a day a stopped. Then I did 15 minutes the next day, and stopped. But do what works for you, by all means! The main thing is to make...
