Mickmel, Thank you. I have looked close a Nozbe. I do not see where it has the ability to 'remind' me of calendar items? If I can get reminders on my iPhone then this is solved. Can you point that out?mickmel;64107 said:Nozbe and Google Calendar will as well.
Google Calendar can even add items via SMS, Nozbe can add items via Twitter, and they both allow you to add items via Jott. Lots of options.

Hmmm That makes sense for Nozbe, so "everything" non-time specific, Nozbe takes care of with a native iPhone app on the way! Am I getting that correctly?mickmel;64112 said:That's a good point -- I don't think it will physically remind you. Two thoughts:
1 - If you assign a date to a task in Nozbe, it will automatically become a Next Action on it's due date. A nice touch.
2 - Items in Google Calendar can be set to give you SMS reminders. I set my default SMS reminder to 10 minutes for any new item. Now, if I add an item to Google Calendar in any way (Jott, SMS, etc), I'll get an SMS reminder to my iPhone.
With this in mind, I use Nozbe for tasks with due DATES ("design wireframe for new site by Feb 3") and I use Google Calendar for meetings and other items with specific TIMES. It works well.
Correct. Meetings and appointments go directly into Google Calendar. Any other task goes in Nozbe, with or without a due date.tedpenner;64113 said:Hmmm That makes sense for Nozbe, so "everything" non-time specific, Nozbe takes care of with a native iPhone app on the way!

I don't know for sure. I use an iPhone app called SaiSuke, which is a mobile Google Calendar (free "lite" version available, full version $10). I like to keep my options open, so Google Calendar works great -- enter items via web, call them in via Jott, txt them in via SMS, etc.I feel like the quickest entry for me at work, will be the website, second to email. Can you enter calendar items from the iPhone website?
I'm still struggling with that. I use a variety of things, but often just put items on the calendar as reminders out into the future. It's not the best answer. I need to get a better handle on how best to use ticklers theoretically, then how best to implement them technologically. I've got most of my GTD system running well, but that's a hole in it right now.2) I like your site. What is your high-tech solution for the tickler file?
Agreed. Evernote is GREAT.tedpenner;64128 said:Evernote - My electronic reference system. It is outstanding and can even be referenced from my iPhone via it's native app.
I'm the opposite for now. Free Evernote but I pay for Nozbe. I have 44 projects open in Nozbe which is a bit above the five free ones you get.I already pay for Evernote but currently use the free Nozbe service.
I think you can 'jailbreak' the iPhone for better applications and likely something that will make the camera perform much better.mickmel;64129 said:Sounds like a pretty solid system.

As I use Evernote more (I've just switched from using Google Notebook WITH Evernote to 100% Evernote) I'll probably have to start paying. Evernote would be so much more useful if the iPhone camera wasn't so awful.

I agree. That works for calendaring. Reminders and tickler though are a different story. I need alarm bells to go off for some things. In terms of calendar items though while at work, I do have outlook for that. I think if I could resolve the 'tickler' thing, we would be OK. Has anyone put any thought into how to do a tickler on the iPhone?mickmel;64151 said:I'll suggest the SaiSuke app again. It's $10, but fixes what you need because of it's sync with Google Calendar.
I also wish that the iPhone calendar had more sync/input options, but it doesn't so you just need to find the best alternative.
