Brian Foley dawt net: Google Notebook and GTD

  • Dan · 1 year ago
    If you'd like a tool for managing your time and projects, you can use this application inspired by David Allen's GTD:

    http://www.Gtdagenda.com

    You can use it to manage and prioritize your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
    A mobile version and iCal are available too.

    Thanks for that link Dan!

    Since I wrote the original post, I've switched to using OmniFocus on the Mac and iPhone. There's a big of a learning curve, but once I figured it out, it works perfectly for me.

    I've also switched from using Google Notebook to using EverNote.

    Google Notebook is really good for copy-pasting things from the net, but what if you're in a context where you're actually taking notes in class or in a meeting or just need to pound and collect some plain text? For GTD, you don't want to be typing things out in long hand...

    If you want a pure text note taking solution that is absurdly quick, barebones, and focuses on data entry check out www.ayenotes.com for taking notes online.

    AyeNotes was wired for text only notes. Its key feature is that it provides clips for frequently used strings. These can be templates you type, terms you use (action items, context,, etc.), or it can be programmer-esque things like HTML and Markdown. For GTD its great, because you can great shorthand for commonly used clips you'd normally write down on paper!

    The site also autosaves the work and provides keystroke. If you have the site remember the login, everytime you go to www.ayenotes.com to take notes online you are dropped right into the new note screen. To get your data out, you can email or download the note in multimarkdown format.
