In this era of worshipping at the temple of "The David" (Getting Things Done), there is no shortage of offline and online productivity suites. With that in mind, I rarely get all that excited about the new Web 2.0 offerings that get a bit of buzz here and there. But Scrybe appears to be different. Way different. Like wow different. Here, just watch: Adblock Scrybe is an online organizer ...

Midnight Beep Softworks has released a new beta of their GTD application for OS X, Midnight Inbox. I haven't undergone the GTD cult's secret initiation rite don't know anything about GTD, so I can't comment too much, but it looks like a slick little app, and the reviews I've seen so far are positive. Keep in mind, though, that this is a beta, in the real sense, not the Google sense. The developers ...

Online SoftwareAs much as I enjoyed writing part 1 of this series about software you can use for GTD even while offline (I've had a soft spot in my heart for offline-capable software forever), I have a feeling that part 2 is what many of you are waiting for - and the question you'd like answered is "how do you implement GTD using online tools, preferably free ones?".

Although keeping email in a web-based application (Gmail) is serving me very well indeed, I'm finding that I prefer to have my task list with me on my Pocket PC, so it can be anywhere that I am. With that in mind, I was quite happy to read about My Life Organized, a desktop PC task tracking application that also has a companion Pocket PC version. It can also synchronize with Outlook if you're used ...

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 ...

As a fan of productivity software, and a subscriber to the ideas in David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology, I regularly try new software methods for handling my task management. These days I feel too constrained by Outlook, and although Backpack is very useful, it falls short when attempting to organize based on the three dimensional model used by GTD: tasks by project and context. In my ...
