Years ago I used David Allen's GTD methods through Outlook, but since I have switched to Mac I've failed to continue. Frankly, I just don't trust my current setup. Now I am looking to re-tool myself and get better organized ASAP. Specifically, I am looking for help in 2 areas:
1) I am looking for suggestions on what tool(s) I should use to best organize my work and personal life. A lot of my actions come from email so preferably I am looking for an all-in-one. I've briefly looked at IQ Tell and it appears to be a good tool, but it scares me that it may not be around much longer or beyond the next 2 years. I hear everyone rave about Evernote, but I don't fully get it. I am open to any ideas with the goal of having something Mac friendly, simplistic, and all-in-one, if possible- the fewer tools the better I think.
2) Ideally speaking, I would like to hire an individual/service to come to my office, for however long it takes, to setup up any new hardware and software across all of my machines, help me understand how to use, and dump all of my "stuff" into a system. Basically, help me with my brain dump and get organized with an ongoing system moving forward.
Does a person/service like what I just described even exist? If so, please help me find them.
Thank you in advance to everyone for reading my post and willing to help me get back on track so I can start GTD, again!
