GTD for Linux
tominperu | Apr 25 2007
Does anyone have experience of GTD tools on the Linux platform? When I say tools, I'm thinking of off-line list management applications for projects and actions (not just email!). So far, on the web I've only found Thinking Rock (which I've tried but didn't like so much), a Beta called Nozbe, and Tomboy. I also know there is a Outlook clone for Linux and I think it has tasks but am not sure how well it works for GTD. My reasons for asking are partly curiosity. I've considered using Linux instead of Windows in the past. As far as I can see, available Linux applications cover everything I need except the possible exception of GTD. I've also recommended GTD to a friend but he only uses Linux and I want to suggest tools to try to implement it. Thanks in advance for any responses. 4 Comments

You might look at the Linux/Unix subforum on here, though admittedly it's not very busy. There are many wiki-like applications available on Linux that you can adapt to GTD usage. Tomboy is one of the most popular of these. You can also use TiddlyWiki-based tools, like GTDTiddlyWiki, MonkeyGTD, or whatever is the popular one these days. I played with MonkeyGTD for a while and it was pretty good. Evolution, the Gnome groupware suite, is very much like Outlook and will work about as well or as poorly as Outlook without a GTD plugin will for doing GTD. I use it for mail, but I've never tried to use it for project management. Personally, I use org-mode for my GTD needs. It is a package for doing outlining, scheduling, and task management using plain text files in Emacs (the extensible, customizable self-documenting real-time display editor aka kitchen sink). However, if you are new to Unix from Windows, Emacs may be a bit of a big step for you. Look at the Unix and cross-platform software sections of the 43folders wiki. for more ideas. » POSTED IN:
