What GTD products would you find useful?

Hi @PhillyBass , it's on our list of potential guides. And, it's not an application that we have had many requests for. There are several people who frequent this forum who use it one way or another.

Obsidian was definitely one of those fringe apps that didn't seem all that popular, until very recently. I have been following the GTD setup guide for EverNote for over a decade. Then in 2022-2023 while EverNote was bleeding customers, many of us were looking frantically for something to replace it. Obsidian stood out from the sea of dozens of note apps for its ability to support EverNote import and nested tags and nearly every major desktop and mobile OS including Linux. I am in the process of adapting GTD to Obsidian, trying to follow as closely to the EverNote implementation from years ago, but if there were an official guide I would definitely purchase it.

Hi Phil,

I found two methods described online, ( Method 1 ) and ( Method 2 ). I am in the process of trying to come up with the simplest method possible for myself, relying on the least amount of plugins, and sticking to the original DavidCo EverNote setup guide as much as possible.

I use the tasks plug-in. I have tags for each context. I use templater plugin to create project notes that are classed as a project in either active, archive or on_hold states. I have a dashboard note that shows me al the tasks by contexts and I have one that shows me all projects. I can slice and dice my tasks in any way I see fit.

I am just now starting to implement sequential tasks in some of my repeating projects that re-occur every year but I have not decided if that way works for me.
 
Great thread! I especially like the idea of a new GTD Book by David Allen. This book would involve extensive research into the conditions of people's lives that make it impossible for them to implement a GTD system. The desired outcome of this research would be to learn from working extensively with these unfortunate people what has made this impossible, and to reverse these difficulties in practice, so that these people are finally able to implement a GTD system. The reversals would be documented in this book in a step by step way, so anyone could read this book, and do the practices in the book, and finally implement a GTD system. This book might be entitled:

GTD For The Rest of Us
A GTD Workbook For Those Who Need it Most
 
DEFINITELY bring back the notetaker wallet please (and separately purchased refills of course).

Currently I'm using the small (A7?) Rhodia bloc tablets - perforated sheets are a must.
