For a while, I was feeling more and more squeezed. I was picking up more and more projects, but I was beginning to have a hard time keeping track of everything. I use an iPhone, so I figured “Great! I’ll just find a great to-do list that syncs with the phone and use it to stay on track.”.
I tried a variety of packages (including the excellent Zenbe Lists), but none quite did what I wanted. I eventually found Nozbe and thought it was great, but it used that silly “GTD” method. They posted a few video tutorials
about how their products fits in with GTD, and I was hooked. I immediately went out and bought David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” book, dove in, and took off.
It hasn’t been all smooth sailing, but it’s certainly made life much easier. I’ll be posting some of the tips and tricks I’ve found, and probably pose some questions from time to time as well.
If you have any tips to share, or if you have GTD-related questions you’d like answered, please contact me and I’ll be happy to help!
Chris That’s a very smart (and popular) way to hdanle it. It largely comes down to email volume and expected response time, but if those aren’t an issue then a twice-daily email check leaves you a lot of uninterrupted time to get some work done.
Google Tasks are awful, so comparing it to that is plietonss. GQueues is certainly progressing, but it has a long way to go. It looks like the recurring items are fixed, that seems to be about it. It’s hard to tell, since their blog hasn’t been updated since October
