Things I have been using
- freemind: Mind mapping tool
- monkey gtd +prism:
- taskjuggler
- ganttproject
- taglog
- Collect: Collect thoughts This could be either
- Planned: Where I spend a pre allocated time to jot down my thoughts. For example spending an hour today to make a list of what I should do before going on a holiday. For Planned collection of thoughts freemind is the best tool.
- Unplanned: You are working on something and suddenly remember that you need to get a new pair of socks for that trip. for unplanned thought collection it is a mix of what is handy when the thought occurs... I have tried paper and monkey GTD and am finally moving to a mix of launchy and perl scripts
- Classify: Here the captured thought's are moved into either Action Items or filed for reference. This has to be a planned event so a job for either freemind or monkey GTD
Action Items can be classified into multiple categories- based on duration: Short term (Less than a day), mid term ( a day or two), Long term (weeks/months/Years)
- Based on priority: urgent important, urgent not important, important not urgent, not urgent not important
- Based on who should do it: me, delegate
- Track: Traking requires regular review of the action items and can take the form of todo list or capturing the activities done per day.
