Outlook and GTD

Newbie GTDer here. I am looking for any guides on setting up Outlook 2003 to implement GTD.

I'm mainly interested in conceptual methods for doing this - do I use tasks for Projects or do I use Contacts? I've seen both but wnat to make sure I don't spend a lot of time implementing it one way only to find 20 hours later that I should have done it another. :)

Thanks!

Two Things

If you're looking for step by step instructions for manually setting up GTD within Outlook, then the official GTD and Outlook guide is your best bet:

My company, ClearContext, builds a product that can be used to help automate some of these processes. If you're interested, check us out at http://www.clearcontext.com .

Good luck getting set up - it will be well worth it when it's done.

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. »
