Howdy.
For those who use both the Outlook Add-In and MindManager/ResultsManager or another mind mapping/outliner program...
Which program do you use in each phase of a task's life (e.g., generating the NA, inputting to the system, managing/recategorizing, reviewing)? What functions do you use in one program, vs. another? Examples are always helpful.
For me MM/RM is most useful for viewing projects, generating Next Actions, and arraying them in a way that makes sense for reviews. However, I find it considerably easier to enter and manage NAs/tasks in the Add-In. The MindManager/Result Manager sync function strips off important information for tasks, including Categories, which are critical to managing NAs in Outlook and the very foundation of GTD.
I sense there's lots of potential here to tap into the strengths of each program, but I haven't gotten the hang of it.
Being a process question, I think it's equally applicable to the GTD and Tools Forums.
Thanks!
