    I used and taught Covey and Daytimer for many years before reading David Allen's GTD book and switching to GTD. And then I found an application that allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I've written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/mo... John

    Hi John, Thanks for stopping by. I've tried Nozbe but it didn't meet my needs. Most apps I've tried don't seem to cut it actually. Among other reasons (which I can expand on in later posts), they are generally limited by the fact that they are to-do list apps with a context option and not a true implementation of GTD in the digital world. I got fed up searching for what works best for me and have been programming my own in my spare time... Sometimes you just need to scratch your own itch :)

    I think the process that you went through is not all that unique -- everyone has their battles with time management systems developed by others.

    The key is in skillfully crafting something that fits us, and our own habit patterns.

    I was forced to do that when I moved to a different country,and i think that many do so when they undergo a major life change.

    The problem is that it's a bit of a secret -- we don't talk about developing our own time management systems, but that is definitely what we are doing -- on our own, without any assistance.

    I think there is a self-design revolution coming, and that what we all need are principles rather than prescriptions, and a knowledge of the fundamentals of good design rather than more tips.

    Yeah it's true that everyone has problems with time management. And it's good to hear that you were able to handle yours so far. Great post.
