GTD Wannabe

I’m Giving You Homework

I’ve been doing some housekeeping on my blog email account. I seem to collect requests to try things out, or retry them out. And I’ll be honest with you, I just can’t do it. I can’t even get my research done these days, how am I going to do extra testing? Sigh.

So, instead of letting these suggestions languish, I’m going to list them out here. These are all things that other people have requested that I give a shot. If anyone out there would like to write a little guest-review, let me know. Failing that, write a review on your own blog and post it in the comments. (No more than 3 links in a post please, otherwise you’re targeted as spam!)

In no particular order, we have:

• Kelly W. has recommended Wrike, “more than a GTD tool, but I find it very convenient for applying David Allen’s method”. Supposedly it has: task start and due date, duration, quick search, good visibility of task context, allows tagging and building hierarchies.
• Kate Hudson has recommended a new website (beta stage as of 8 Aug) called Goal Organizer dot com. She says, you enter your categories (areas to improve), goals and steps (projects/actions). Then, the site suggests which step/action you should work on first. It also helps you create a balance among the various aspects of your life.
• It’s been recommended a couple of times that I check out Toodledo again, since it has upgraded its look since I reviewed it a while ago.
• Finally, Binny, the author of Nexty, has asked me to check out Nexty again. The new version has just been released, and supposedly many of the suggestions I had in my review have been incorporated.

Anyway, my apologies to all those who have suggested something for me to check out. I just don’t have the time or energy. But the rest of you, if you feel like checking one or more of these out, give it a whirl. You want to write a little something up – let me know!
