New - HELP with Tool suggestion and Workflow Service - THANK YOU

GTD

0
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!
 
Lots of good tools in the Apple-only world, some acceptable ones cross-platform. IPhone or Android? Mac at work and home or is there a PC somewhere? In the end, I don't think it matters too much if you really get GTD, but it is a discussion we can have. On the other hand, you can pay people to help you with GTD, and you can pay people to teach you technology, but I don't think anybody will do both for you at the same time. You can't pay somebody to get you a Ph.D. either- some things you have to get together for yourself.

Yeah lots of tool there but i think that post is double pasted because i'm read that post is 2nd time on that forum. Sorry if i wrong
 
The tool I use is called OmniFocus. It supports the GTD methodology perfectly. The software is available for Mac an for all iOS devices like iPhone, iPad and Apple watch. You can synchronize all your data between all these device so you are always up to date and you can plan, act and review wherever you are.

It may sound strange, but from the beginning I tried GTD, I switched to manual with a classic "filofax" agenda. I am pretty "tech oriented", but it just felt right for me and it worked fine. My work involves a lot of emails, excel spreadsheets, electronic reference files etc. However, the "core" station (all actionable items,lists, calendar and projects) is an agenda I carry with me almost all the time.
