Great posting, especially with the video clip to explain things. I’m actually giving this a go for the next few weeks – it was an excellent reminder of what I learnt on a TMI course about ten years ago now (‘sfunny how the fundamentals don’t change . . .).

The structure I think I’m going to use is in DayLite rather than OmniOutliner I’ll have Projects for the major things I want to achieve, and then below these the individual Tasks that need doing. These can be converted into calendar Events, maintaining the link to the Projects. I’ve also created a series of classifications for the Tasks, so I can see what types of things (phone calls, marketing, client work, etc) need doing, and when I sync to my Treo, this info is carried across.
Karl.

The reason why I’ve gone for good ol’ paper and pen is that it’s the simplest method possible. Introducing technology in anyway tends to slow things down (strangely enough).

The little things can really trip you up if you are not careful.  I recently encountered a challenge that comes with growth – if you don’t have a good system to help you keep track of all the work that

You can publish iCal feeds and send todo items by email. It also incorporates tagging and scheduling of tasks and will send you email reminders. Its still in it’s infancy but already performs some fairly powerful tasks.

It’s awesome. So much so, that the OmniGroup have decided to develop a GTD-specific app – codenamed OmniFocus (http://blog.omnigroup.com/2006/09/25/omnifocus-our-work-in-progress/).

But the major point of the To-Do (be it GTD, or whatever), and the pen-and-paper approach is to remove clutter, to keep things simple. Personally, I relate to handwritten text differently than to typed text. It’s just a totally different mnemic scenario.
