Best method for task reminders?
JWakefield | Jan 3 2007
I have been using GTD for about a year now and I LOVE it. I have a fairly simple question, but it is plaguing me. I have found a GREAT system for setting and getting reminders on my longer terms goals (that is Life's Roadmap ), but I am struggling with the smaller tasks that I have. I have tried the task manger in Outlook and I HATE it. Everything just turns into noise and I cant categorize things easily. With Life's Roadmap, you put things into Cornerstones. and time frames, which I love, but it really is not designed for tasks. The other thing I like about LR is that it sends you e-mail remainders. That is what I really want. I don't ignore my e-mails, but I will ignore note cards or that freaking reminders window in Outlook - I am in love with the Dismiss All button. So the question is, is there a good program or system that people have for being reminded of the day to day things? TIA 5 Comments

Well, there is a product in beta right now, they have a spot to enter your email to get an invite, but I don't know how many beta invites they've sent out (I haven't gotten one, don't know anything else :) ) It's called Scrybe, and you can find the page at http://www.iscrybe.com When the video showing how this program is supposed to work came out a few months back, it was definitely quite interesting. Based online, but maintains a local environment for working offline and then syncs everything when you connect again. Based on what I remember from the video, it seems to take a lot of GTD best practices and the best of Web 2.0, and combine it into a fluid solution. I think the video is right on the front page, but I can't see it, as my work connection pretty much blocks all streaming media. So this could be something to watch for. Cheers » POSTED IN:
