Bonsai and DayNotez
Yeah to Bonsai and DayNotez!
I used to be a GTD addict. Now, I'm back to using categories with my Palm organizer to represent places. (Home, Desk, Family, etc.). This works *really* well with categories on Outlook, etc.
I got written up at my work for "not having enough focus". Truth be told, I was *VERY* focused, but obviously not on the right things.
I use:
* DayNotez to log EVERYTHING I DO. Once I do something, I open DayNotez and use it as a "journal" (I can go back to previous days, search, etc.) It also imports from Palm's calendar and ToDo lists.
* Bonsai (just registered tonight). Works well with DayNotez. The acid test for me was to import ALL my ToDo's (even closed ones), and to *really* categorize them. I can filter, export, print and even tie to DayNotez with this program! I use DA's idea of filtering; however, I can logically group my ToDo's in categories to appear like "projects". I've been struggling with trying to get something that logs the Outlook tasks, but "gathers" them logically together for me.
Plus, with the combo of the two, I can always go back to when I DID something and see the outcome.
My discovery (and I'm sure I'm not unique here): The simpler, the better. It doesn't matter what you have if you don't use it! I've actually used paper and this works best for me.
