Using Eastgate's Tinderbox for GTD implementation
Merlin Mann | Sep 5 2004
Tinderbox Wiki: GettingThingsDone I haven’t kept up much with its recent development, but I know Tinderbox has been a terrific, versatile application that’s just about perfect for GTD implementation in many ways. Bit of a steep learning curve, but a lot of folks says it’s worth it. I’ve certainly enjoyed tinkering with it in the past, and I still find it very satisfying as a mind-mapping tool and occasional IA app. It’ll be swell when programs like Tinderbox and OmniOutliner, as well as promising-looking OSX newcomers like Shadow Plan, eventually start to talk to each other seamlessly (and without the need for explicit export/import). At this point, it seems you really need to commit yourself to a single app if you’re going to develop the level of trust in your system that’s needed to make GTD really sizzle. But, I can certainly envision a time when different apps might provide completely different ways to view and manipulate your data (e.g., graphical map, outline, RDF, structured text)—all based on the same XML-based file. Ah, sweet, courageous LazyWeb. 6 Comments

Can you recommend any similar software for us poor old Windows PC users? »
 Do you use a Palm?...Submitted by Merlin Mann on September 8, 2004 - 3:24pm.
Do you use a Palm? You might have a look at Shadow Plan. Looks like a very sexy outlining program (it’s still sort of finding its sealegs for OSX). I’m not sure about graphical, mind-mapping-type programs for Windows, but I’d love to hear other folks nominate some here. »

I’m using MindJet MindManager - it has a PocketPC edition as well which apparently syncs up with the desktop edition.. »

On the topic of Wikis, you could always try out Instiki. I’ve been using that on my Powerbook, but I’ve also installed it OK on my windows XP desktop at work. I really enjoy just how simple it is. Some of the tasks I have to organize come with massive amounts of background information that I have to consider when I get a chance, or at the time of when I tackle it. The end result here is I have a simple yet powerful location that I can store things & my GTD lists ;) YMMV of course. Great site by the way. The content and discussions are fantastic so far. »
