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

iGTD, Kinkless, Quicksilver with EntourageSubmitted by tomnapper on November 19, 2007 - 12:54pm.
I'm loving using Entourage for my GTD. I had been using iCal and Mail.app but like the seamlessness and Project Center of Entourage. One thing that all this lacked was the ability to quickly add tasks to a list like Kinkless or iGTD (which is great). I found this applescript that allows you to drop your tasks into Entourage via Quicksilver much like iGTD and Kinkless do. Meaning, through a series of symbols you indicate the Name of the task, any notes, the category, project and due date all through the text field in Quicksilver. So typing Vacuum Floor | It's real dirty @ Home > Housecleaning # 1/31/06 - friday, becomes the task "Vacuum Floor" with the note of "It's real dirty" that gets assigned to the "Home" context (or category) and assigned to the "Housecleaning" project due on 1/31/06. This is great! Once you unpack the script you drop it into your actions folder for Quicksilver. To activate just hit launch Quicksilver, type a period, type your task, tab and then start typing "send to Entourage" until it appears. Try it. Here's the link: http://inik.net/node/90 » POSTED IN:
