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

So now I've set up six projects in the Project Center. Unfortunately, the Project Center still leaves a lot to be desired. I wish it didn't rely so much on a wizard, and the lack of keyboard shortcuts is a hindrance. However, I beefed up all my categories, assigning a category for each client. From there, I make projects, and keep the project's color code the same as that client/category. Overall, it's not very elegant, but the only really elegant thing is this: I got rid of all the folders for each project, instead assigning a category (and in some cases a project) to each email, and put those all in one folder labelled "Processed." Viola, I can view everything by category, and that one folder is searchable. This way, if I need to go back and find a project I can search in just a couple of folders, thereby minimizing the number of places a message might be. » POSTED IN:
