For me its all about the balance of making room for the sunsets. I’ve never had an air tight system, but i guess if you let things slip too far either way then that balance can become too rigid or it can become too loose.

Gtd is the only thing thats ever touched the sides of riding the wealth of ideas and opportunities that creativity and life can present.

That said I guess im still learning which are worth riding and which need to be left til the future.

I wholeheartedly 100% agree. I could not have said it any better

A topic I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about, and gone through a lot of implementation/self-sabotage/reimplementation (rinse and repeat). My most recent conclusion about GTD is that it has the danger of causing you to focus on small, menial tasks, and while it does imbue you with the sense of “getting things done,” after awhile, some more valuable but less task-oriented activites fall to the wayside.

When I have my GTD system in place, every little project that has popped into my head and which I have dutifully recorded, inboxed, processed, and context-sensitive-to-do-listed keeps me moving and “getting things done” all day long, often at the expense of more important “projects” which defy the laws of to-do lists.

In some ways it’s great to have an airtight system that prevents you from forgetting anything, but I find that some things are better forgotten. At the end of the day, I may have remembered to get extra dental floss on my way home, but I miss the days when I forgot I needed it and spontaneously drove out to the lake to watch the sun set. The bit of broccoli between my teeth makes it no less awe-inspiring.

Has anyone here ever tried http://www.bubbl.us? I kind of like it, but maybe I should try some of these others. Any thoughts?
Cheers,

Haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds cool.
Thanks for posting.

Another great open source GTD package is GTDInbox. It’s a Firefox extension that integrates straight into gmail.

I had tried thinkingrock a few years back (will have to look at it again), but after finding GTDInbox, I’ve never looked back.

If only someone would do an Web 2.0 version of Freemind. (I envision an interface similar to Geni.com)

Thanks Andrew, I am looking at GTD also this week. Freemind is a mind mapping tool, also very good.
I enjoyed the talk with AIM in Manchester last month, got me thinking.
I also know Marc Reck well, I love what he is up to, and we helped him whilst he was on New Deal for Musicians. I am an adviser with Armstrong Learning, teaching music industry stuff.

HI Andrew,

I myself am also getting into GTD. The software I am using is OmniFocus by the legendary Omnigroup. You can download a free trial of Omnifocus and watch a tutorial video at their website.

Great site by the way – just found it via the piece you did with last.fm

Hello Andrew!

Make be there is something about music and thinkingrock? I use it too – mostly because it works on both Mac and PC. IT isn’t perfect, but it definitely beats running life on postit notes! There’s a few post on ThinkingRock on my blog for those that are interested in knowing more.
