Best online/offline/whatever combo of tools
trib22 | Oct 29 2006
I'm struggling at the moment with the notion of the best combination for my use of email, calendar and GTD tools. For the moment, I'm using Mail, iCal and kGTD on my MacBook Pro. However, the always connected/always available notion entices me, so I'm looking at Gmail, Google Calendar and GTDGmail as an option. I'm not yet convinced of the worth of stepping away from the native apps for the web apps, particularly as some clients I work with may not permit Gmail access from their sites. :confused: I'm looking for input from the community here to give me some background on your collective experience with either of these toolsets, or clever ways in which they might be combined - something along the lines of Carla's advice on this thread - http://board.43folders.com/showthread.php?t=1023 - but combining the power of mail, calendar and (if possible) GTD. Now that would be my dream combo! TIA. 3 Comments

I think you've hit on what I actually meant (and I wasn't clear, I don't think). I'd like the power to be able to use things like the native apps where/when I can, but have them fully synced behind the scenes so that if I choose to leave my MacBook at home, I can go into my client site and just jump on a PC and open a web browser - still with access to email, calendar and to do functionality. Then, when I get home, it's all still there including everything I generated during the day synced back from the web to the computer. Well you must know kGTD is being replaced with OmniFocus. And All I know about Leopard is what I see on the web. I suspect Leopard will be a major leap forward. » POSTED IN:
