Although I work at capture constantly, I find doing an in depth mindsweep (outside of a weekly review) very helpful every few weeks. I am always astounded by how much I come up with! I try to use a...
I find that the more I practice GTD (especially trying to use the weekly review trying to capture things via mindsweeps), the less I wake up in the middle of the night with stuff I need to write...
I use the DAC weekly review checklist overall. However, Omnifocus has a Review Perspective that lines up all your projects (including Someday/Maybe projects) sorted by "Next Review." In...
I use Omnifocus and the feature (by far) that puts it over the top for me is the Review perspective that organizes my weekly review.
David Allen says that "the Weekly Review is the secret sauce...
I got some metal bookend with magnetic bottoms (normally used for metal bookshelves). They work ok, especially when I added some weight to them.

I got the Notetaker Wallet at my first GTD seminar with David years ago. Indispensable.
My iPhone (or any cellphone) calls ReQall which transcribes a message and emails it to me for free (Jott...
iCal is very weak for task management. Entourage is ok. Depending on your preferences a number of folks use either Omnifocus or Things. Both seem to be pretty strong task managers and both have their...
Make sure that in the View:Columns selection that "Context" is selected. After you have entered a task or next action, hit the "tab" key and tab over to contexts. Start to type a few letters of your...
Inspired a bit by Marshall Goldsmith, I now have a checklist I review each evening for things that I want to do more of (read, practice banjo, exercise, etc). This list looks like

Missing Sync for Android by Markspace may be able to help you. It worked for me to get stuff (tasks, notes) from entourage to palm. (I now use an iphone so don't need it). The product page says it...
I use BusyCal (somewhat better than iCal), Evernote and Omnifocus along with the mail app. I don't do any action or other filing in mail (other than archiving it). If there is an actionable mail,...
I think it is ok to set out more actions then one in a project plan or in omnifocus.
However, I think it is key that you are able to "let go" of a next action that comes up if it doesn't quite...
I find that the more I collect stuff, the less I have to collect stuff on the fly. I have been doing this for a while and have fewer "ideas in the shower," mostly because I have a lot of it out of my...
For old(er) eyes, labels that are 1/3 cut size are easier to read. I have my labels auto printed to be as large as possible and still fit on 1/3 cut.

I would add MS Entourage. Worked well with Palm on the mac for me.

My goal is to develop and pay more attention to the higher levels >10K feet.

One thing I've seen that is kind of cool is the "compatibility mode" that seems to be part of the Pre; that is that it will run old palm operating system programs (like those on a Treo). If that is...
Recall works well too and still emails you your note for free. Works with any cellphone (or other phone) by you calling a number. There is an iphone app too that uploads your note after you speak it...
I have a generic waiting for lists with sub lists for some individuals I deal with regularly (boss, direct reports, etc.). On a generic waiting for I have a date and the persons name. When waiting...
