How are you using GTDTiddlyWiki?

GTDTiddlyWiki - all your tasks are belong to you I’m really intrigued by GTDTiddlyWiki, which is a clever wiki for implementing David Allen’s Getting Things Done system. It’s fun to use and a bit of a technical marvel (tip: shutting off animations under “Options” greatly sped things up for me). Since I’m in one of my periodic “No new tools!” modes, I’m really just playing with it right now, albeit enjoyably. But, from the popularity of the site, I gather that a lot of you are using GTDTiddlyWiki to implement your Getting Things Done system. I’m curious to hear how it’s going for you. Specifically:

 Not having a server-side component...Submitted by Tom (not verified) on May 12, 2005 - 10:30am.
Not having a server-side component is the draw for me. I keep a copy on my USB drive, load it up on any platform (where there's Firefox ;)), and go. However, I do not use it for my day-to-day activities. I open the contexts and print them out onto their cards every so often, and make changes, insertions, and deletions on the card. When it begins to get messy is when I print out more. The printer can write much smaller and neater than I can, which is nice. Previously I used one-action-per-card, but my stack quickly grew to be almost half an inch thick, which was no fun to page through for next tasks. Now I carry about 10 cards at a time, and several are blank for new notes. I do miss pulling tasks from the tickler and putting them directly in the stack, however. Upgrading is almost the most fun part, because it's so easy. :) » POSTED IN:
