Links to GTD Apps, Templates, & Scripts
Merlin Mann | Dec 31 2004
I’d like to start collecting links to tools, applications, scripts, and templates that people have created for implementing Getting Things Done, and that they would like to share with folks on the web. If there’s something you’d like to see added here, leave a comment with a link and some background information (status, license, platform, etc.), and I’ll check it out. As with our OS X inventory collection, I’ll add the most useful-, novel-, and promising-looking submissions. While I’m not against linking to modestly-priced shareware, preferential consideration goes to stuff that’s open source, free as in beer, and functionally uncrippled (no save-disabled, “bronze??? editions of your commercial package, please). The idea is to showcase the sweat and collaboration that people are throwing behind a shared interest in GTD. Let’s help new folks start their year off with some cool tools and innovative solutions for getting started with Getting Things Done. (N.B.: not to be a kerchief-dropping belle, but I’m going to hang back and wait to hear from a few folks before adding my own suggestions, so don’t be shy about nominating your or your pals’ projects) 47 Comments

I experimented with a variety...Submitted by Ethan Kaplan (not verified) on December 31, 2004 - 9:38am.
I experimented with a variety of apps to implement GTD and the most limiting thing for me was the fact that I use two computers, as I"m in school. Most of my work is on my desktop G5, but when I go to school I sync files up on my powerbook 12" and head out. A lot of the software I really liked (StickyBrain, DevonThink, etc) did not like this arrangement very well. So in tinkering, I finally decided to implement a Wiki for GTD. That enables me to access it from any computer to take notes during class, update lists, etc. I put TikiWiki on my OSX server (which runs all my websites) and I've been pretty satisfied with it. I keep all my project notes (things done/todo) on it, my class notes, my todo lists and any other piece of text. Its not as integrated with OSX as StickyBrain or DevonThink, but its extremely portable. The other nice thing is that I can have the people I collaborate with login and edit certain pages with their notes. So for those that have two or three computers, I'd recommenda Wiki :) » POSTED IN:
