There IS a Better GTD List Manager

I’ve just listened to David Allen, Kelly Forrister (GTD coach) and Robert Peake (sp?) (CTO for DavidCo) talking about list managers on GTD Times and much as the information was good, and GTD is tools agnostic, for such a talk to be really worthwhile, they need to get off the fence and give good and bad points of the major list managers!

Here’s my two cents worth…

There are good and bad list managers.  I haven’t tried them all but I do know that the most useful ones are those that are highly integrated, (with such things as calendar, email etc), and that are simple and intuitive to use.

Yes, I know that none have reached perfection yet, but eProductivity is easily the closest thing to this state of utopia that I’ve tried.

How to Start with eProductivity

In fact, tomorrow I start the journey with my lovely wife Raewyn as we move her on the “Getting Things Done” (GTD),  eProductivity track.

This is the first time I’ve tried to help someone else out with this, other than offering simple advice from time to time, so I thought I’d keep a bit of a record as to how things go.

The first step in the process was loading eProductivity onto Raewyn’s computer.  (As our organisation already uses Lotus Notes, eProductivity was a no-brainer even apart from the fact that it’s easily the best bar none.)

The first post, (tomorrow), will be about actually getting eProductivity downloaded from the internet and set up on her computer.
