  1. Bluetooth Headset

    I just started using the Bose Bluetooth headset for my iPhone and for work. It has great sound for listening and (I think) a pretty good microphone. It is a bit pricey but I am really liking it.

    Mindsweep Frequency

    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...

    Capture

    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...

    Weekly Review and Omnifocus

    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.

  6. Metal Plates

    I got some metal bookend with magnetic bottoms (normally used for metal bookshelves). They work ok, especially when I added some weight to them.

    Two Favorites

    I got the Notetaker Wallet at my first GTD seminar with David years ago. Indispensable.

    iCal Weak for Tasks

    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...

    Checklist

    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

  11. Missing Sync

    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...

    Next-Next Action

    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...

    Collecting

    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...
  15. 1/3 vs 1/5

    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.

    GTD on Palm Pre

    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...
