Mannerheim's Hipster PDA

Cool handwriting.

Document Management Software

I really like the idea of Backpack (http://backpackit.com) where you can have one page showing a group of related files, to-do lists, and date-based notes (messages). I do not really use writeboard or sharing very much.

I would love to mimic this idea on my local machine (OSX Leopard) so I've been trying to brainstorm how best to accomplish it. My initial simple solution is to create a directory where all the related files will be stored and then create text files for to-do lists and messages. This idea is simple, but not very elegant.

Hi all,

A collegue and myself are currently giving a course in GTD. No, we're not black belt, but being green belt already puts us way in front of our collegues. Moreover, the best way to learn is by trying to teach :-)

One thing we're noticing is that there's a bit of a blockage against creating a "project". In the ICT world we're in, a project is something huge, over budget and out of time, and you'd need all kinds of project management methods to avoid it getting it completely out of hand. So, creating a "project" just to buy a new hard disk seems to be somewhat overboard.

Palm OS Outliners

Is there any info or recommendations for getting the most productivity/time/task management out of Outlook, specifically the Tasks functionality?

I recently got a new position at work and my productivity/time/task management needs have just increased dramatically. Unfortunatly I don't think I have the bandwidth now to implement something as complex as GTD system, however I wanted to use the tools currently available to me now(Outlook) in the best way possible.

Thanks in advance. joe
