Just about every day I see something new that makes me sad I can’t use a Mac…

got it - used it - love it! thanks.

For the past four months I’ve been using my own modification of TiddlyWiki to do something similar (but much clunkier). That went in the trash today. Thanks for sharing this!

I spent some time over the weekend reviewing your template and the applescripts along with your methodology for doing GTD. How do you handle next actions that are not associate with projects such as errands, calls, etc.

For un-projected actions, I just added a Misc To Do project as a catchall. Note, it should be used VERY sparingly, but things like remembering to go troubleshoot your father’s iPod don’t necessarily warrant a full project.

I’m digging this nicely. My own methods really didn’t ever get to the point of floating next actions to the top where they belong. The use of columns for context is brilliant, too.

I watched the movie on the website, and it looks like an excellent program (similar in some ways to the web-based tasktoy). But everything it does, LifeBalance does and does it even better, as well as include Palm synchronization, so if you’re looking for good GTD software for the Mac (or Windows) try LB . One trick in LB useful for GTD is that you can define a place called “Projects”, and use it for any of your projects; if one doesn’t have a next action (i.e. a child assigned to a regular context). it will show up in the To-Do list when you choose the place “Projects”. Any projects that don’t show up in the list will thus have a next action assigned, which saves you time at the Weekly Review.

I think mentioning LB is good, except that this is free and LB costs $70 and is much uglier. Also, I tend to believe Kinkless will find a way to support iCal long before LB does :)

Life balance is targeted toward a different, complementary goal. GTD is a tactical system for managing your productivity in the face of the daily skirmish for your time. LB is a long-view strategic system for managing life goals. While LB may be shoe-horned into a GTD context, it’s a forced fit. I’m convinced there are better ways. KGTD may well be part of a better way.

im having a really really hard time determing the difference between a project and an action. should i have a project called HOMEWORK? or should i have an action/context called homework and then have every single class a different project, or every different assignment inside a class have a different project….any direction would be helpful. thanks

Hey, I love this. Thanks so much.

Question. Really a question about OOL. How do I set things so that I have different toolbars corresponding to different templates? I have a toolbar setup for outlining that I like, but the Kinkless GTD really needs its own special toolbar. I want to have access to both—can anyone tell me how to do that?
