New 'essentials':
- smartphone (Android or Apple)
- 'cloud' email & task manager
No longer required: special paper plannner, separate 'PDA'
2001 -> 2011
System: Franklin Covey -> GTD
Phone: Nokia 6310 -> Motorola Defy (Android)
PDA: iPAQ 3xxx -> Defy + PocketInformant
Capture: Franklin Covey Planner -> Small notepad & pen or email (home)
-> Microsoft OneNote (work)
Calendar: Outlook (work) -> Notes (work), Google (home)
Tasks: Outlook (work) -> Toodledo (work + home)
Email: Outlook (work), OzEmail (home) -> Notes (work), Google (home)
Reading: Pieces of dead tree -> Sony PRS-650
Biggest changes for me:
- convergence and synchronisation of phone, calendar, action lists, contacts
- email, contacts, actions available on any computer
- laptops at work and home, but use them less frequently 'mobile'
Things I'd still like to see:
- smartphone with extendable screen for reading + keyboard for typing (maybe one of those laser ones)
- my slightly backward employer allowing corporate email on personal devices (with appropriate security) and to synchronise my phone with OneNote
