MacBook Pro | GTD | BlackBerry...Anyone, Anyone??
jdcpar5 | May 10 2006
OK, I made the "switch" yesterday after my WinXP box decided to fry my Outlook data file............again. Anyone out there use GTD on a Mac synched with a BlackBerry? I found the PocketMac for BlackBerry sync software, but I am totally new to Mac and don't know what is best for a PIM. Lots of choices, obviously, but I'm trying to keep it simple for Calendar, Tasks/To-do's, Contacts and Notes. I use webmail, so email client is not a concern. So far, I've found: KinklessGTD: I've read about it briefly, seems simple enough, but I'm more Contact | Notes | Calendar focused - my projects are simple lists. Not sure if I can sync it with my crackberry. Palm Desktop for Mac: I would LOVE to use this, but I can't figure out how to sync it with a crackberry. (Like most, the crackberry is an office requirement and I'm trying to avoid carrying a Palm and a crackberry device both) Address Book | iCal | Stickies: This appears to be the simplest "out of the box" possibility, but I don't yet see how to categorize Stickies (memos/reference lists). That's what I've seen so far. Sorry for the long-winded post, but I'm struggling to get my GTD / PIM setup in the Mac asap. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd REALLY appreciate it!!! -- 21 Comments

 OK, I've got all 1557...Submitted by jdcpar5 on May 11, 2006 - 2:02pm.
OK, I've got all 1557 Outlook Contacts and my entire Outlook Calendar out of the WinXP box and into Address Book and iCal on my MacBook! Whooohoo! A big shout out to O2M for making that easy! Now.......I've just got the small matter of a few hundred Tasks and 86 Notes in my WinXP Outlook to move over to my Mac. Stickies doesn't look like it'll fly for my needs 'cause I use Notes a LOT for reference, project ideas, etc. by Category (GTD context) So.....if anyone has any ideas for a Mac replacement for my Outlook Notes and Tasks, I'd REALLY love the suggestions. Also, that Kinkless GTD for OmniOutliner Pro looks great for Next Actions / Projects / Contexts, so that could be my Tasks replacement - has anyone here used it in their GTD system? I know The Man uses it and writes highly about it, but it looks complcated to use? Any thoughts? Anyone, Bueller?? TIA, » POSTED IN:
