Ready-Set-Do! - GTD Implementation for the Mac
Todd V | Dec 13 2006
Ready-Set-Do! is a full GTD-implementation for the mac. It now comes with three Quicktime movie tutorials that give a quick overview of the core GTD habits (great even for non-mac users!). http://homepage.mac.com/toddvasquez/apps The advantage of this approach to GTD on the mac is that it comprehensively integrates all of one's files and programs into the GTD workflow without locking users into a program that may or may not have long-term future software support. Once installed just choose one of the following from the Ready-Set-Do! folder in your dock: The site also has numerous other Xtras on productivity you may find useful: If you would like to try Ready-Set-Do! out (or you know others who would), I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Sincerely, Todd V 7 Comments

This is a really neat...Submitted by bluloo on February 22, 2007 - 10:24pm.
This is a really neat application. I bought it but have yet to truly implement it. I am surprised there aren't more posts or questions about it. »
I looked at it more...Submitted by Berko on February 23, 2007 - 9:13am.
I looked at it more than once but the concept of using folders to list actions is just too foreign for me I guess. »
Is "Ready-Set-Do" working on Mac OS X (10.3.9)?Submitted by Ceurdge on March 7, 2007 - 10:55am.
I was excited to try the demo version 1.1. I am running mac OS X (v 10.3.9). Thanks, »
re: On Installing RSD with OS X 10.3.9Submitted by Todd V on March 7, 2007 - 11:21am.
Hi Ceurdge, This issue you mention is normally caused by using an older version of StuffIt or by a web browser that is set to automatically unzip files. If you experience seeing a blank Read Me file or what seems to be an incomplete download, it is best to use BOMArchiveHelper to unzip the file instead. You can do this by control-clicking on the zip file and choosing "Open with", then choosing BOMArchiveHelper. Or, alternatively, you can select the zip file, choose Get Info from the File menu and change the "Open with" section to have the file open with BOMArchiveHelper. Hope that helps, Sincerely, Todd V P.S. For further tech support for Ready-Set-Do!, installing, etc. you can contact me directly at readysetdo@mac.com »

You can now earn your black belt in productivity with Ready-Set-Do! 1.2. One of the really cool new features in this version is the ability to generate a "Productivity Report" that scores you on how productive you are. It tells you the percentage of projects you've clarified, the record number of items you've processed out of your Inbox, the average number of weekly reviews you complete per month, and it even assigns you a "belt level" allowing you to progress from the White Belt all the way to the highest, 3rd Degree Black Belt level of productivity. If you like the ability to track your productivity and get coached along the way, this may be the version for you: http://homepage.mac.com/toddvasquez/Ready-Set-Do!/FileSharing80.html Other new features in version 1.2 include: ? Send things to your Ready-Set-Do! folders from any computer connected to the internet with the new RSD Mail Rule! I hope you all find something in this version you like. Enjoy! »
