How are you using GTDTiddlyWiki?

GTDTiddlyWiki - all your tasks are belong to you

I’m really intrigued by GTDTiddlyWiki, which is a clever wiki for implementing David Allen’s Getting Things Done system. It’s fun to use and a bit of a technical marvel (tip: shutting off animations under “Options” greatly sped things up for me).

Since I’m in one of my periodic “No new tools!” modes, I’m really just playing with it right now, albeit enjoyably. But, from the popularity of the site, I gather that a lot of you are using GTDTiddlyWiki to implement your Getting Things Done system. I’m curious to hear how it’s going for you. Specifically:

  • What about GTDTiddlyWiki is working better for you than your previous system?
  • How has using GTDTiddlyWiki changed your thinking about data capture and action management?
  • Have you run into any problems using the app—not bugs so much as your own behavioral tics? How have you solved them?
  • Any features you’d love to see in the app?
  • Anyone using the app to print Hipster PDA cards?
  • Got a cool GTDTiddlyWiki trick to share?

Spill.

I’ve tried various adaptations of TiddlyWiki to manage my notes and tasks list. What I want is a server-side wiki because I lost notes when I overwrote on my current GTDTiddlyWiki while trying to synchronize the versions in my home PC and the office PC. I’ve written about my transfers from various TiddlyWiki adaptations in this post http://max.limpag.com/2005/07/26/finally-a-perfect-tiddlywiki-to-manage-my-notes-tasks-2/ It’s due for a rewrite, though.
