Reading Time: < 1 minI’m a big fan of Evernote, even though I don’t use it for GTD (I use Nozbe for that). However, I find it to be a great resource for reference material and notes. I love that it has a Windows version, a Mac version, a nice web interface and a slick iPhone app. Today, the […]

Scoble is learning how to Get Things Done
Reading Time: < 1 minRobert Scobe, a self-proclaimed “tech evangelist” (his Twitter account has nearly 60,000 followers) is climbing back onto the GTD wagon. He’s played with it before, but seems to be giving it another good shot. As always, Scoble has documented his time with Michael Dolan (a David Allen Co. coach) via video. Here is a glimpse […]
New sync tool for Google Calendar and your phone
Reading Time: < 1 minGoogle has just released a new tool to sync your Google Calendar to your iPhone or Windows Mobile device, and it’s pretty slick! For my iPhone, I had previously been using the excellent (but not free) “SaiSuke” app to handle calendaring. The problem was that you had to manually sync it, and it took a […]
Take a look around David Allen’s office
Reading Time: < 1 minYou 2.0 has just posted a neat video of David Allen in his home office, going through his “collection” process after a trip. After watching it, I’m feeling pretty good about my sytem, as it’s quite similar. I have a few more high-tech tools in my arsenal, but all-in-all it’s roughly the same. Check it […]
GTD has done my prayer life (and sleep) a lot of good
Reading Time: < 1 minGetting rolling with GTD has brought a few unexpected benefits to my life — an improved prayer life and an easier time falling asleep at night. I’m personally a Christian, but this applies to anyone of any faith, or anyone that simply likes to meditate. I’ve always had a hard time focusing for very long, […]
The little things can add up: Gmails “Send & Archive” is great!
Reading Time: < 1 minI’ve been a huge fan of Gmail for a few years now. I can run a variety of addresses through my single Gmail account, then access it all from anywhere. One especially neat thing about Gmail is the “archive” feature. When you’re done with an e-mail, you can just tell it to “go away”, whether […]
Google Notebook and Jott become less useful
Reading Time: < 1 minGoogle Notebook and Jott are two of the cogs in my GTD system, and both just announced news that makes them less desireable. Jott has just announced that they are ending their free service as of February 2. I was considering upgrading to their paid service anyhow so I could send notes directly to Nozbe, […]
Don’t let your computer slow you down
Reading Time: 3 minIf you’re reading this, I can immediately guess two things about you: You’re interested in or practicing GTD. You use your computer more than the average bear. If that’s the case, then don’t let the computer be your bottleneck. If you are on your computer for four hours a day and you can speed it […]
Nozbe vs. Toodledo
Reading Time: 3 minI’ve been a Nozbe fan from day one. In fact, that’s what got me interested in GTD. I wanted a web-based to-do list with great iPhone support. I found Nozbe, realized that it was GTD based, watched some of their videos, and then eventually got the GTD book and dove in. After I realized I […]
A good calendar is an assumed GTD prerequisite, isn’t it?
Reading Time: 2 minWhen you first start digging into GTD, most models assume that you already have a working, reliable calendar. You have one, don’t you? In a talk that David Allen gave a Google a while back, he told the audience that in their time together, none of them were thinking “Where am I going to be […]
