Entourage & GTD
Brad Blackman | May 11 2006
Does anybody here use Entourage with their GTD setup? We use Entourage at the office, and I don't think I could get away with switching to Apple's Mail.app and kGTD or something... but we don't really use the Tasks or shared Calendar features. I don't think Merlin ever got around to posting his "custom views" article that he said he was going to do in this post. (Maybe he switched to iCal + Mail + kGTD before he could.) 4 Comments

 Some tipsSubmitted by jarango on May 12, 2006 - 12:41pm.
Hi, I use Entourage for a GTD-type setup. Here are some tips from my setup: Entourage is very stable and reliable, especially when compared to the Apple apps. The Project Center lends itself well to the GTD methodology, but is a bit slow. Creating new projects is a painful enough process that I find myself not creating projects for smaller items that I probably would track as such using kGTD or Lifebalance (both of which I've tried to use for GTD). While I can work around the limitations of the Project Center, the big challenge for me is keeping track of next actions. I really wish that Entourage had subtasks or some mechanism for registering task dependency! BTW, if you haven't done so already, check out the Quicksilver to Entourage Task applescript: http://www.43folders.com/2005/06/14/quicksilver-applescript-to-quickly-add-entourage-tasks/ It makes task entry very fast! » POSTED IN:
