Finally I 'get it' ... I've found the best GTD tools either paper or software...

One more quick question, how much paper comes with it, should I order a refill pack right away as well? Thanks!

There's enough to get started -- about 10 sheets for each tab. Unfortunately, I don't think refills are available yet. Let's hope it won't be long!

The refills are available at the at-a-glance website, but hopefully they will soon be available at davidco as well.

Uniquest, thanks for the post. I used Palm Desktop many years ago but have never tried it for GTD. Three questions:

1. Is there a primer somewhere that explains how to set it up for GTD?

2. Can Palm Desktop track conversations? For example, if I call one of my contacts can I then type in notes of the conversation and then associate it with that contact? (If not, do you know any software that can do this?)

3. I am not planning on using an actual Palm Pilot. Is it possible to sync Palm Desktop it across two computers so that I can use it at work and at home?

Thanks!

re howman
1. Don't know
2. Yes, the contacts have a commentary field and you can attach notes and task etc to it. That's the cool thing about the Palm system: you can attach the various kind of items to each other.
3. Yes, via various sync tools. off course you need some device like an memory stick or mp3 player to transport the data.

Thanks CPU.

I installed Palm Desktop and I'm trying to figure out how to attach tasks, memos, and/or notes to a contact. I'm pretty good with computers and I just can't seem to figure it out.

I did a Google search and came across Agendus, which has a plug-in for Palm Desktop. Are you possibly referring to this when you say contacts have a commentary field?

Thanks.

Each Memo or Adress window-pane has that little paperclip'ish symbol near it's upper-left corner. Use that button to drag n drop or click on it for a pop-up menu.

On the Adress window-pane there is the box "Other Information" where you can enter website, email ect there must be a "Comments" entry field.

Thanks for the response CPU!

I think I might have a different version than you (4.1.4). I'll do some Googling and figure it out.

Thanks.
