  1. I would be very interested in seeing your approach to adapting ACT! to the GTD methodology. I have done it in a way that works for me and would be interested in collaborating on this to our mutual benefit.

    Sincerely,
    Steve Rankine

  2. I would like to see a guide for “Things” for the Mac (and iOS iPhone & iPad). It has a structure that should work well with the GTD methodology and I would like to see how you’d set up the guide.

  3. Hi!

    I would love to see a setup guide for a web-based tool/app called IQTELL, They seemed to have done a really great job with putting together their knowledge base and help videos showing how they incorporate GTD but I would love for you guys to go and dive in there and see if you can implement a guide with the purest GTD practices possible!

    Thanks in advance!

    1. I second this – would be great if the gtd folks did their own app or set of electronic tools, although I guess there’s no one size to fit all.

  4. I suspect it’s already in the pipeline, but I would like to see a guide for OneNote for Mac.

  5. I am using Things on Mac, iPhone, iPad for 5 years or so. I tested OmniFocus, Wunderlist, Todoist, Asana, 2do and many other apps.

    I would still be interested in how you would use Things. https://culturedcode.com/

    Thanks,
    Alex

  6. What about Trello? I already use Trello for maintaining my personal ToDos, but it would be interesting to see GTD in action on Trello.

    In case needed, here is the url: https://trello.com

  7. David, Steve,
    I too would be interested in looking at a CRM solution. I use Act! So going that route would interest me.
    Steve, I live in the UK and would be interested in hearing what you have done.
    Don’t think this forum is the place to divulge email addresses but I would be happy if David or one of his colleagues forwarded you mine. Not sure if that is allowable, Data Protection and all that.
    Regardless of the above, I have the Outlook and Evermore and they prove to be very helpful, so one on Act or a generic CRM would get my vote and my devalued £stg..

  8. ToDoist. After trying a million of these, this is now (as has been for about a year), my one and only GTD app (windows, Web, Android) (although more GTD help is needed to use it fully).

  9. I love the app called, “Things” by Cultured Code https://culturedcode.com/things/. According to it’s website it was developed based on the GTD methodology and I have found it intuitive for at least my implementation of GTD. Love to be able to compare to a reference. Things supports iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac & iPad. It keeps everything synced and works flawlessly. It is the best software implementation of GTD I’ve ever used and I have previously used Outlook, Mac Notes/Tasks, Evernote, Lotus Notes, and paper-based. Easily the best solution over these. I consider Outlook a distant second…

  10. I’d like to see Todoist. It’s a great program that I have a lot of fun with already in the GTD approach, but seeing your approach would be great!

  11. I would love to see the app “ThinkingRock” approach that you would use. I have be GTD since the day you published your first book and I thank you for getting me organized.

  12. Please add Todoist. It is an awesome app I think would work great with GTD. God Bless !!

  13. I’d like to see a guide for Todoist! I’m using it with my own GTD setup, but I’d like to see other ideas

  14. Todoist please! I haven’t found a great approach to using GTD with Todoist and I love them both so much.

  15. +1 for Todoist also as they have great integration with Outlook 2016.
    I’m also using Asana, so I would love to get a GTD for it too, but priority would be todoist. Thanks a lot!

  16. I’d like to get a GTD guide for Todoist and for ASANA. Great tools for a daily basis. Thanks for the improvement and the idea.

  17. Hi; a guide for Todoist, but not a easy one, a good one please. This app has so many potentials. M

  18. Is there any software that integrates with excel for read & wright purposes. i prefer using excel but this is difficult when on the go and i don’t want os software option alongside an excel copy as i only one one version of the truth at any one time. Any suggestions for using excel on the go or software compatible with excel for my lists & projects?

    Have you used Fantastical2 with GTD?

  19. I’m not sure it’s my fav, but I use gMail and ToodleDo. I have slacked off of using ToodleDo and just used gMail’s calendar reminders. Clearly inadequate for GTD! So, I’m digging back into ToodleDo. Is David or anyone here familiar with it?
