I also prefer to write my ideas down (currently in a classic notebook). This helps me especially while commuting. On the way to the office I get into working mood. On the way home I calm down. The...

Thats it!

Like David I can't imagine why you think you are not able to have a UCT available. Search for the many discussions about UCT.
If you have a more special problem with UCTs, would please explain...

@Howard: Thanks for this map, it will help many people with this method.

Addendum to Popeyes gint to freemind: the 0.9.0 beta 15 is known to be stable and has many more features than the 0.80...

(1) I know of no device which can be taken anywhere (swimming pool, shower, ...)
(2) See 1. For specific requirements you need specific tools.


I use a Palm TX (fits [1-3] enough for me). While...

If you use a paper based system you have to use one of the two solutions. Otherwise you have dups floating around and forgotten, I assume this will becoms a real mess if you don't use plenty of...

Katherine has made some very good comments.

You have made an immense change in workload and expect so much from yourself. I think its time to renegotiate with yourself and your partner what has...

I carry my Palm always with me and use it for notes if there are not to much of them. In conferences I carry normally a notebook with me and decide on the fly if the notes become to much for the pda....

If you keep your information electronically, you mostly have the possibility to add these NAs without much overhead.

I myself use for any new project a page in a wiki. If it is a small project I...

Some users suggested that Dustin doesn't need to carry his contacts with him just because he has no cell phone. I want to remind that (at least her in Europe) public phones exist. Maybe Dustin wants...

I would start setting up a filing system. I assume manila folders are easy to buy and not so expensive. For informations how to set up the filing system you could search this forum.

Of course commitments to others are not necessarily more important than commitments to yourself. But I think its reasonable to put all commitments with its due date in one place. Missing committed...

Indeed writing on a Palm is a bit slow. But if you are used to it, it is faster than most people think. Nevertheless I carry normally my Palm and an additional Moleskine cahier notebook with me. In...

I second mochants recommendation. I use Palm for GTD since at least a Palm Tungsten E and never missed any features. Even lower models would fit my needs. For me the best was a Tungsten 3 because of...

I second Cornells suggestion. Push one project forward until it is sufficiently running. But don't try to make it running perfectly. The last 20 % need much more effort than the first 80 %. Many...

Thanks for this addendum. I use a separate encryption tool.
