How many projects can you keep on a pda?
gtz | Jul 12 2007
I'ld like to know if any of you uses their PDA as their GTD 'trusted system'. There are only about 15 lines in landscape and about 25 lines in portrait mode as far as I know. My aim: Example: Repair bike If you copy 'Ask for prices' to an @phone list, it doesn't make sense without The other option would be: And what do you do if for exampel your labeler has broken down and you need a new one? IS there any PDA software at all which lets you keep everything in view? In other words: 3 Comments

 Hi gtz, I use my pda...Submitted by emk on July 24, 2007 - 9:26am.
Hi gtz, I use my pda with Datebook6 and Bonsai. Together they work fine for projects. I use the icon function of Datebook6 to get around the category limitations - 15 "big" categories, and almost unlimited icons to sort through in Saved Views. Bonsai is a great place for keeping the "buy tires" project sorted out step by step. You can then export a specific step as a task into ToDo. At that point, in Datebook6, mark it with an icon to remind you what project you are talking about - "tires for blue car" get a different icon than "tires for bike." There is literally no limit to the icon sets you can get - some free, some for sale. Try Two Kids in a Garage for some fun and useful icons, including planning symbols. So the short answer is yes - you can keep it all on the pda, but you may be well served by buying some software for it. BTW, I was a whiz at the old Graffiti and it was as simple as paper and pencil for me. The new Graffiti is not so nice and my English notes often come out looking like they're in Polish or maybe Sanskrit even. I use Notepad as a quick capture - it is easier to decipher come time to get captured items into the system. If your pda doesn't come with that, it would be another good software program to invest in. emkay » POSTED IN:
