Let me explain how I try to do GTD on my phone as of now.
I use the following tools for my GTD setup:
- Evernote
- Dropbox
- Mindjet
- Calendar (Stock)
Inbox (In-basket)
My Inbox is based on Evernote. Evernote is ideal as an inbox because it allows collecting all kinds of "stuff" including :
- textual notes
- drawings (with Skitch)
- voice recordings
- photos
- e-mails
- web clippings
For this I have created a Notebook called Inbox in Evernote, and set this as my default Notebook. I do not use tags for the notes in the Inbox Notebook.
Processing
Evernote again...
Every now and then, I go through my notes in the Inbox Notebook and process them. I move any processed note to another Notebook called Processed. I use tags (actually a tree of tags) for classifying items in this Notebook for the following:
- Next Actions
- Archive
- Projects
- Someday/Maybe
I use Calendar for Date/Time specific items. Also Calendar works great for the Tickler items.
Project Details
For details of a project I use mind maps. I create mind maps for each project in my project list using Mindjet and sync them with Dropbox.
Also for the supplementary files of a project, I use a folder structure in Dropbox.
Future work...
- Need to integrate Evernote project notes with the Midjet mind maps (some kind of hyperlink would be OK)
- Need to integrate Evernote project notes and Mindjet mind maps with supplementary project files on Dropbox (again some sort of hyperlinking would be great)
- Need to have some sort of dashboard for the whole thing (a very simple application would do it)
