And I’m up for building it :) Though I lack the necessary technical skills. haha.

Of course I wish you the best of luck!! :D

Wow, it sounds like you have a pretty intricate system. In my next post, I’ll be demoing how I take written notes in class. Maybe you could help me out by demoing your written style of organization.

I read through that post and I find it very fascinating. You have some great points in that article. It’s something I’d certainly want to use. Maybe we should build it. ;)

Actually, I do plan on submitting. Wish me luck!

For classes I use just a normal notebook. For my to-do list, I also use a normal notebook and on a two-page spread write out each day with a list of tasks to achieve. I color code the check boxes so I know what type of task it is (I only use three colors, one for school, personal and freelance/work). And, the school ones reference to my school-provided agenda book where I can expand out homework tasks on a daily basis. Since I compile my weekly to-do list on Sundays, I don’t have room to add in extra homework items (though there is room to add in additional other things that crop up).

I don’t even want to get into the Mac v. Windows debate, haha. :) But, I will say this: I think that the cloud is where the future of apps lie. Actually, back in September I outlined my dream GTD app, it contains a lot of features that probably aren’t AS necessary, but I still think it would be kick ass. :)

Thanks! I really did not see it coming — I was accepted into this last round. You should give it a go next time!

Notebooks work as well. Is it just a general notebook, or a specific kind? Any sort of special formatting? I’ve tried the notebook method before as well, but it’s never worked out well for me. A computer-based method is more befitting for me, I supposed. Google phone? Pff. iPhone >> Android. :P

I think this is because of the culture of Mac and the specific types of users that are known to use a Mac. But, there are still a fair number of apps for Windows-based environments and a few apps online. But I admit, none of them are quite as good as what I’ve used on my Mac. Guess that means you should switch.

On an unrelated note, congratulations on your 9rules acceptance! Did you get in this last round?

A few months ago I went on a rampage looking for a good GTD/To-Do list web app and didn’t find anything that I really liked. In lieu of that, I started using a notebook to write a weekly checklist in, with tasks for each day of the week, not just limited to school. I also carry around an school-provided agenda book in which I keep my tasks for school specifically and plan out in advance what I need to do to stay on top of things. I use Google Calendars for all my scheduling — it’s a great help, since it’s always on my Google phone :P

The one thing I am envious of when it comes to Macs, though, is their GTD apps. It seems like developers have focused these types of programs to Mac users instead of channeling to effective web apps, which would reach a far broader audience. I find this a little discouraging.

Yeah, Think is excellent. It’s a really simply app with such high utility.
