Mac at Home, Windows at Office, PDA in pocket - GTD everywhere?
cpadude | Nov 29 2006
Hello. I'm a student and new to GTD. I have a Mac at home which I have been using with an Excel file to manage projects and Next-Actions by using color coding and marcos to quickly label and identify Contexts. I will soon begin working a full time job and at the office will be using a Windows-based laptop. I also want to get a PDA so I can have my project list and other GTD reference materials with me at time. Has anyone figured out a good system for using all these tools (Mac at home, Windows at office, any PDA everywhere) with robust syncing, seamless (or close to it) transferability and interoperability between the 3 systems? If you have, I would greatly appreciate you telling me what software, PDA model, and paper based tools you used to make it all work. Thanks Mucho 9 Comments

I have not found the Holy Graal of inter-platform syncing yet, but I suspect that a Palm PDA or Treo might suit you well. Palms integrate well with Macs and Windows and you have a wide range of apps on the Palm for all your needs. I am in the same situation as you (Mac at home, Windows at work) except that I chose to get a Windows Mobile Smartphone as my PDA choice. While this integrates really well with Windows, on the Mac-verse I am at the mercy of PocketMac or MissingSync, with varying degrees of satisfaction... Happy integratin' and gtd'n.... sol2k » POSTED IN:
