		<description>I tried 20+ GTD apps..and then had a GTD methology crisis

The App that has given me most productivity to date is ImOnTime http://www.expersis.com/.
For MY style it seems to be the best way to organise (although it’s not for all) as it’s an active management system (or should i say re-active ???)
Once your in a mindset that any system is a chore and will require maintenance then the “pop up ” reminders that I.O.T. throw up will be accepted as part of the pay-off

I tried GTD on omifocus for 6 months
I never got anything done

I think GTD is over-rated

I think it starts to crumble once your data swells. Inevitably your entries will grow and it will become harder and harder to constantly order and manage tasks.

Also maybe a creative mind is always changing and adapting by the minute. That’s where the GTD system is too rigid

A good article on the subject(link below) talks about why more creative people may have a problem with GTD….That’s me (too much coming in at once &amp; a need to be totally flexible)…heres the article http://zenhabits.net/2009/04/seven-productivity-tips-for-people-that-hate-gtd/</description>

		<description>Hello, in regard to this post I will state I use this app everyday and it has become an exceptional addition to my workflow. 

However, the purpose for this comment, and many more to follow is to &quot;get your attention&quot; from your invitation callout in your latest post: &quot;20 sites every mac user should bookmark.&quot; 

So quite obviously I am doing this for the purpose of achieving an invitation to the site brokenstones. 

As I plan to write a short comment on each article Mr Chung has written over the course of his Makeuseof Career.

Oh by the way, my email is: baker at swgms.com</description>

		<description>For implementing GTD you might try out this web-based application:

Gtdagenda.com

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.

As with the last update, now Gtdagenda has full Someday/Maybe functionality, you can easily move your tasks and projects between &quot;Active&quot;, &quot;Someday/Maybe&quot; and &quot;Archive&quot;. This will clear your mind, and will boost your productivity.

Hope you like it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve recently learned of GTD and have written about my experiences as a switcher from Covey to Allen at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com  I&#039;ll have to check out this application, although I&#039;ve recently adopted another that lets me take my GTD wherever I go, on my desktop at home or work, and even on my iPhone.

		<description>[...] Please welcome three new writers to the Make Use Of team - Anthony, Jackson and Mackenzie. While Anthony will be joining the rest of us and focus on web-based apps, Jackson and Mackenzie will start off MakeUseOf Mac and Linux sections, respectively. Obviously there&#8217;s more to computers and the web than just plain old Windows and so we&#8217;ve figured it would be best to expand a little and offer our readers a bit more choice in their reading. Actually, Jackson already reviewed couple of Mac apps, a unversal &#8220;my status&#8221; manager MoodBlast and a GTD program known as Things. [...]</description>

		<description>Yes, we&#039;ve decided to start branching out a bit.   Jackson is going to start covering Mac applications and we are also exploring the possibility of covering other things such as Linux.    But it&#039;s still early days and we are not sure yet how we are going to go about it.     But when we decide, you&#039;ll be the first to know about it!  :-)</description>

		<description>[...] Get Things done on a Mac with Things&#8230;‘Things’ is essentially a straight-to-the-point task manager. You won’t need to compile all of your information, emails, images, PDFs, etc in preparation for this application. Basically, all you need to do is: recall your To-Do’s and start entering them in. Like most GTD apps, new entries automatically go into the Inbox. After you’ve emptied your brain of your daily, weekly and monthly chores, you may begin start to sort them out according to priority, and this is where Things shines.
