Hi rob, thanks for dropping by. I see you have a series of articles describing your usage of OneNote that I’ll want to be reading soon.

You are so right about the time you can waste looking for a new tool. In the end I don’t really think it matters what you use, it’s much more important how you use it – stick solidly with the 5 stage GTD workflow and you’ll get things done irrespective of the tool you choose

Hey guys, thanks for dropping by.

@Elwyn – thank you for the kind words.

@Rich – I thought you’d been drifting back to the Palm? No?
Someday I’ll graduate to moleskine, but first I have all these nice “hard” cover freebies to use up.

@Shawn – My main use for Google Notebook, in GTD’ish context, has been as a place to capture “someday/maybe” type items. In particular, articles or links that I want to read and possible blog topics (or a combo of both). With the FF extension it’s always just a click away and makes a nice clipping service.

I was interested in your post here about GTD/Task Lists. I’ve never found an online tool I’ve liked. I’ve tried to get behind some online tools, and I often get asked about task and contact syncing for OggSync, when’s it going to happen… etc. The normal reply is when Google has those features opened up.

Your comment about Google Notebook did interest me, how did you use that for tasks/GTD?

I’ve gone almost all analog of late. I still use google calendars for scheduling. Too hard to keep 13 stores staffs scheduled without it, but all my todos etc are all moleskine and the cheap spiral bound notebook managed now and it just plain works. Even on an airplane.
