GTD for a family

Hey,

I'm trying to figure out a way for me and my wife to co-plan our agendas and one of the ideas is to just create a GTD setup that covers the both of us:

* We get a family gmail inbox where we post things we need to do
* In the evenings we process the inbox and organize the work
* tasks for individuals go to our respective inboxes, which we handle with our individual GTD processes, while planned family activities go to our family google calendar
* we maintain our lists at google documents (projects list, next action lists etc)

Any one who has tried this? Any caveats that you can think of?

Havn't seen that one before....

Havn't seen that one before. Without having studied it much, it seems a problem for us would be where to set up the webapp. We can't acces our computers at home from work (no public IP) and would rather not have a computer running while we're not home anyway. Can it be done on peer computers(we both have laptops)?

I don't know. I would imagine so because you can set up personal web sharing on your laptops. But I haven't used Tracks enough to say for certain.

There are sites which host Tracks and allow users to create accounts, so if you can go to the website at work or from your laptop, you can use Tracks without the hassle of installing (which seems to require some tech geek skills). Clicking here leads to 3 links. One seems to be down, another charges a small fee and the other is free.

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. »
