Getting Things Done

This is true. I recently pared down my feeds to only 10. I have a lot more time now, but I don't know if the horrible, nagging feeling that I am missing something is a fair trade-off, lol - Stellina

I have GTD on my iPod via Audible.com. I listen to it about once a month or so to get refreshers. - Dan Tervo

Good thinking Stellina. I don't re-read GTD cover to cover but I do check into pg 114, 139 and 140 as often as possible. As you said, every time I review the book something new 'clicks' and my actions are rejuvenated. - "Czar" DJ Peterman

I think if you go back to any 3 pages, those are definitely the best. I also recopy 139-140 into the front of any notebooks I'm using at the moment (mostly as a reminder and not at all because I love diagrams) - Stellina

I've read it three times. There's always something new. - ha3rvey

My system keeps the cruft away throughout the week so that I only spend maybe 30 minutes on sundays for a full review. - Rahsheen™

30 minutes on Sunday (personal) and Friday (work). Once in a month I try to have a longer WR for going through my higher level stuff. - Jeroen Sangers

i try to keep it down at around 30 min - but often get up around 45 min - Peter Efland

An hour or two once a week (Sunday most of the time) is spent. I review and expand any actions/projects/waiting-4/someday items. - "Czar" DJ Peterman

I tried using a startpage, but it seems to hurt more than help. I can keep up with everything using Google Reader, Remember The Milk, GMail and FriendFeed. I somtimes use Prism to run them separate from my main browser. - Rahsheen™

I use toolbar links to del.icio.us tags as start pages. I have a netvibes dashboard for work feeds (which is not a start page). Muck with google/ig but never got much use out of it. - Ashton

I stick with google.com for my start page, mostly because it loads really quickly and is typically where I'm headed anyway :) - Brett Kelly

My favourite start page is about:blank, which won't distract me from the thing I intended to do in the browser. - Jeroen Sangers

Other... the browser session will resume me back to what I was browsing. So, hopefully I'm never 'starting' at the beginning unless going full-circle. - "Czar" DJ Peterman

Other... Pbwiki or more often just my bookmark toolbar folders - Andy Roberts

none, I use a session saver - Greg Newman

I use iGoogle for my main start page. It has Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Google maps, and Goggle Reader on it. - Michael Ramm

FireFox extention "Morning Coffee" which opens my Gmail, 30Boxes, RememberTheMilk, Google Reader, Facebook, FriendFeed and some metrics about http://42Tags.com :) - Eitan Burcat

Eitan, why 30 Boxes and not Google Calendar? - Bill Bittner

None. They take to long time to load. - Svartling

Morning Coffee on both Firefox and Flock browsers. On Flock for news, social stuff in early am, then to Firefox with wiki, blog, Zoho and gtd stuff when it's time to focus on work. - Ro (Lilyhill)

I started with igoogle but decided a start page didn't work for me. I typically open MySocial24X7 in the sidebar, email then gReader as my startup - Dave Ploch

using netvibes as my startpage. On it I also got a tab with favourites, so I can acces them everywhere. Set up my netvibes as my main source of information. My public universe can be found here; http://www.netvibes.com/marcel... - Marcel van der Laan

I have Google Finance & Google Reader on tabs as my Start page - viki saigal

Love Protopage.com - it does exactly what I need - http://www.virtuallin.com/prot... - Cheryl Allin via NoiseRiver

iGoogle for me, but I'm guilty of not optimizing it to the degree I should. I do have weather/movie times/news, but those are kinda basic. - Stellina

I like backpack, but I've had a hankering to switch to paper again, frankly :\ - Brett Kelly

i've been using omnifocus and/or things for a while now. Like I said, i lose focus on it. Mainly because i might have many apps open and 'forget' - Greg Newman

I do think that there's something to be said for adjusting habits instead of trying to find the perfect tool/configuration. - Brett Kelly

i wouldn't say it's as much as finding the perfect tool but finding what's a comfortable fit. - Greg Newman

3x5 hipster. No boot time and mighty sortable - Ashton

http://snipurl.com/rtmexgtd talks about remember-the-milk coupled with exchange and windows mobile as an effective GTD toolset... - Chris "Iceman" Hollander

What about moleskine AND software? One for capturing and the other for organizing - Jeroen Sangers

I never could get the groove with web solutions. I felt too unconnected from my lists. - Greg Newman

Greg, that's something I deal with as well. While having my lists on my iPhone is nice, the connection feels tenuous at best (since it depends on my ability to connect to the Internet). Trying to come up with an equally portable solution using paper, though, is proving to be difficult. - Brett Kelly

Very difficult. I'm "trying" to find time away from my MBP which is proving to be an equal challenge. I was hoping paper would break some of that reliance. - Greg Newman

Here's an interesting take on moleskine use i've been trying to adopt: http://utilware.com/gsd2.html - Greg Newman

What I've found, after working at this for a long time, is that I cannot ignore what I like to do best. I like good pens and a square-ruled Moleskine. Yes, something online is easier to search and re-order *but I don't feel good using it*! That's the bottom line. I like reaching for the Moleskine, like the way the pen feels, like the checks and the highlighting. I may then transfer to something online, but getting it down in the first place is what's important. Paper makes me do that. Paper keeps my focus. - Ro (Lilyhill)

Neither. Hole-punched paper. Moleskine is great for ubiquitous capture but not for master project/task lists. Exception: I keep my @ERRANDS list in my Moleskine since it's in my purse and therefore out and about with me. - Marina Martin

I used to be all Moleskine. But then I got a Smartphone. And I now use different web services instead of Moleskine. I jot quick notes in the Evernote application on my phone. I coordinate tasks with Remember the Milk. And I brainstorm and write scene snippets for my novel in a Google Sites wiki. The only time I use a Moleskine is when I have lots to write and I'm away from a computer. So I still carry it. - Bill Bittner

i cant do without me pen n paper - so moleskine it is ..to start with- but I am in the constant search of a good web based gtd system. Have just started RTM and Tudomo. In the past I have used Nozbe - its great and very intuitive ...my prob was the upload time. - viki saigal

+1 for Moleskine (and Pilot G2 Pro) - "Czar" DJ Peterman

Pen and paper all the way. Moleskine if you must, though I'm personally fine with any notepad that doesn't fall apart within a week :) My seven reasons to go to paper http://tinyurl.com/4ewaso - James Mallinson

I'm pretty much back to paper, but i still use Backpack for long-ish term storage of files and some permanent lists. My notebook is just badass (pocket squared moleskine) and my pen (pilot G2 mini) is too :) - Brett Kelly

Software plus notepad. - Ian Betteridge

I use a combination of software and index cards. The Levenger Pocket Briefcase has been a Godsend! I've been thinking about dusting off my Circa notebook, but am holding steady until I get a look at MobileMe next weekend. - Jack Collins

The Google stuff is more flexible and accessible AFAIK - Rahsheen™

Not only is the Google stuff pretty flexible, but when you add some of the Greasemonkey scripts in, they can do darned near anything I want them to. - Pierce Presley

I've been using a hybrid of Gmail/Address Book/GCalendar... with iCal and Gmail Contacts synced and Mail.app for writing email when offline. It works pretty well, but as others have noted, the Google apps are flexible and, unless I'm offline, I do most of my work in Google. - Todd Mundt

I personally like iCal, but I truly feel that Mobile Me would be great for Mac users trying to get a nice calendar system everywhere, on every platform. - Chris Thomson

You could combine iCal to Google Calendar. Gmail is nice don't rely on it alone, keep backup of mail content at somewhere else. - Daniel Schildt

If you're doing GTD on a Mac, I'd recommend taking a look at Omnifocus. Also, try out Spanning Sync for syncing iCal to Google Calendar, which gives you the best of both worlds. - Ian Betteridge

It might depend on what other gear you use, such as an iPhone. I'm in holding pattern with any changes to my system in anticipation of MobileMe - Jack Collins

Imho, Google > iCal - "Czar" DJ Peterman

I use Gmail, Google Calendar and sync with Spanning Sync so iCal is up to date for sync'ing with iPhone. I prefer Apple's address book for now, but with Spanning Sync's new ability to sync Google Contacts and Address Book, I may move to Contacts too. Mobile Me does not excit me when you consider you can do all it does now with either FREE stuff or very cheap stuff. Apple has not convinced me it is worth the yearly fee. - Grant Griffiths via twhirl
