Definitely interested in seeing how folks are using Stikkit for GTD. Can’t get my head around it (GTD-wise) when compared to Remember The Milk.

Awesome, Merlin. I’ve just started using stikkit + quicksilver and I’m really impressed. We need some tips from you ASAP (pretty please)! Your brain must be whirring (or have already whirred) with stikkit + quicksliver + gCal + iCal integration… should be some cool things to do here.

Well, maybe you can give me some tips that will help me figure out how to use Stikkit. I’m getting this feeling that I just can’t get a handle on all the syntax without putting more brain power into learning it than I feel comfortable with.

I LOVE Stikkit! Usually I play around with applications like this but never actually use them. Stikkit is the one tool I use consistently, for bookmarks, contacts, notes, etc.

[…] Update: Merlin’s statement on his involvement is on 43folders.com today. […]

Man, I like the look of Stikkit, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something tells me I’m over-complicating it, so some more examples would be wonderful!

I’m afraid of the very real possibility that I would lose even these sticky notes! Hmm.. do they make a post-it note printer? Oh, what a wonderful idea! Ok maybe not - BUT it would be a good idea to serve Jello at Franks Cafe on Westshore Blvd!

Congrats Merlin Mann! Help bring us a killer app all in the name of productivity and Jello! What?

At first, I was quite reluctant to try yet another cool new GTD-type tool. But after a few minutes, I think I’m in love. I just hope that more functionality is added, like exporting addresses—sorry, PEEPS—or groups my peeps. By the way, I love the use of the word ‘peep’; it’s so relaxed and informal. Why do we take things so seriosly? One thing I dislike about a lot of tools for implementing GTD is their rigidity. This seemed to be in that class until I’d played around for a few minutes. Oh, I need to add a phone number to my address book? Ctrl+N, “peep: firstname lastname (new line) mobile phone: 555-555-5555”, Ctrl+S. That’s it, and it knows that it’s a “peep.” I think this has a lot of potential, and I hope I’m still using it a month from now.

I have the same question I always have with these sort of services: Does it store my data locally, in a (more or less) standard format? In other words, is my data still available in a useful form if Stikkit goes belly-up? Call me paranoid, but I just don’t trust my data to someone else’s server or nonstandard formats.

I think it’s interesting, but it’s definitely beta software for me- the hoops that I have to jump through to get things to process as tasks or contacts, or to link things correctly is just way too much maintenance for me. And I appear not to be the only one who is unable to import my address book

That said, once it really does get going, it’s really gonna be something- the way it can create outlines (my natural way of thinking) that go right into to dos and match up with the contacts and the calendar and links etc.
