Links to GTD Apps, Templates, & Scripts

I’d like to start collecting links to tools, applications, scripts, and templates that people have created for implementing Getting Things Done, and that they would like to share with folks on the web. If there’s something you’d like to see added here, leave a comment with a link and some background information (status, license, platform, etc.), and I’ll check it out. As with our OS X inventory collection, I’ll add the most useful-, novel-, and promising-looking submissions.

While I’m not against linking to modestly-priced shareware, preferential consideration goes to stuff that’s open source, free as in beer, and functionally uncrippled (no save-disabled, “bronze??? editions of your commercial package, please). The idea is to showcase the sweat and collaboration that people are throwing behind a shared interest in GTD.

Let’s help new folks start their year off with some cool tools and innovative solutions for getting started with Getting Things Done.

(N.B.: not to be a kerchief-dropping belle, but I’m going to hang back and wait to hear from a few folks before adding my own suggestions, so don’t be shy about nominating your or your pals’ projects)

In GTD, Allen talks about...

In GTD, Allen talks about mind mapping. I've been using FreeMind which is free in every way. You can get it from SourceForge and it runs on every platform. It took about 20 minutes of messing to figure it out.

I agree 100% with your comments about DavidCo catering to some of the GTD niches. I have a suggestion- why don't you do it yourself? Have you ever contacted Allen's company directly with these suggestions/requests? Obviously you can write and have made a substantial investment in the GTD methods. If you can't justify the effort it would take to turn your thoughts into a product, how can Allen?

Anyway- I'm looking forward to whatever you can come up with in '05. If you keep pointing out cool mac-only apps, I may have to bite the bullet and pick up and iBook...

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
