PC World asked David Allen to name five tips for productivity. The focus is on productivity within the Windows environment, but several tips apply to Mac as well.
- eProductivity for Lotus Notes
- Blackberry synchronization with Lotus Notes
- MindManager from Mindjet
- ActiveWords
- Pamela Professional for Skype
1. GTD plug in for outlook.
2. Toodledo services.
3. Google Calendar.
4. Informant for the iPhone.
I am considering Ceptara for Outlook instead of the GTD plug in. It has better support for Toodledo Project and Context tags – where currently only context via a free based synch.
Has anyone had experience with Ceptara? Or has experienced migrating from GTD to Ceptara – 600 task / projects is daunting.
1. GTD Add-In for outlook
2. Executor (more than a application launcher)
3. Total commander
4. MindManager
5. Word expander
These are the tools actually improving my productivity most in the Windows environment.
You might miss the sync to a handheld/phone but to be honest most of the time I do not work with my cellphone. I have my tasks in Pocket Informant (iPhone) with the categories from the GTD Add-In but considering the time I have to do something with them on the phone I would not put them in the top 5.
