With the vast number of task management applications that are available, particularly for the Mac, you'd think that every possible feature has been done in a to-do list program. But maybe that's part of the problem. These programs are so feature-rich, that they end up getting in the way of actually getting things done, which is their purpose in the first place. Jesse Grosjean thinks so, which is ...

SimpleGTD is another in long list of online task management tools that attempt to adhere to David Allen's Getting Things Done system. On the surface, it's incredibly appealing; the makers of SimpleGTD have used Ruby on Rails to create a system that is stripped of the extraneous gunk that seems to litter other GTD tools, and instead present an incredibly bare-bones GTD environment. For those of you ...

It seems there's more Getting Things Done inspired software packages out there than there are Flash games littering the web. It's understandable; GTD has become the geek mantra for productivity, and finding the right tool to suit your GTD needs is like searching for the holy grail.

Anyone that is familiar with the GTD methodology will be comfortable with the concepts used in Nozbe; you create Contexts, Projects, ...

I don't know about you, but I'm constantly walking around with too many things in my head. "Do this", "Read this book", "Buy flowers for wife", "start project Y" and so forth. It was really weighing me down, until I read a fantastic book that all the geek kids are talking about, "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. Allen's ideas for productivity are fantastic, but they all involved getting all of ...

I'll admit I recently drank the GTD kool-aid, and I've been on the hunt for the elusive "perfect workflow" to accomodate my newfound system. While I'm starting with a mere pen and paper, ultimately I'm going to use plenty of good ol' technology to dump my brain in every day. To that end I found Jeff's list of GTD tools. It's not just software, but the paper (or analog, or meatspace) tools, plus ...
