Long time reader, first time poster
First of all, a big thank you to everyone for all the informative posts and especially DA for having this public forum.
With that said, I've been an avid Franklin man for years but after moving moving tons of tasks daily, I went to their software. Long and short, this was painful and I'm sure their products are more reliable, but it was a real headache for me.
I found GTD and soon purchased the add-in. Once going, I was happy with the simplicity and the ease that the system worked. Taking some hints from Michael Hyatt's blog, I added a @! TODAY as an additional 'what am I accomplishing at a minimum today? What HAS to be done today??' category. My Franklin past had me adding a MTL or Master Task List category. Aside from that, its basic GTD.
I'm a telecom admin and while I spend most of my time at my desk, I miss the day planner days when I'm out and about in other offices or in our plant.
The blackberry just isn't the repository of knowledge that my laptop is and my day planner was. Anyway, I'm impressed with the timedesign stuff but one day was enough to realize that I'm too hooked on the ease of GTD and outlook. Worse case is documentation needs to be available in a condensed form and thrown in my toolbag, etc. when I have to roam.
I'm back to Outlook and GTD.
NOTE: This is not a 'for sale' post but if anyone is interested in the timedesign stuff I just received yesterday, I'd much rather help someone here than fleabay. If this is seen as just spam, please edit out this note as this is not my intention. Thank you!
