Thanks. I am familiar with the GTD method but I find GTDInbox rather non-intuitive. I wish there was a short UTube video that showed step by step usage…ie. how do i label incoming mail as a resource etc.
Or I really hope some good samaritan will crank up a manual of how to use the features.

I’ve tried many different systems for GTD, including Nozbe, Toodledo, RTM, Vitalist, Omnifocus, Daylite, EasyTask, and quite a few more.

I’m a big fan of GTDinbox, although the new release doesn’t get along with RTM. I think Remember the Milk is ideal for task management within Gmail’s interface, while Gmail can be used to manage data, customer relationships, and just about everything else. I would love to see a fix to the issues with RTM and GTDInbox.

Right now, I’ve temporarily settled on Nozbe, which I like because it is very simple, but dislike because it is very “evil” in the cost / project, and doesn’t allow you to archive projects.

If you could edit e-mails and group e-mails into conversations, Gmail would be perfect for task management, as well.

I’ve been a GTDinbox fan for a while – the updated GMail 2.0 caused all sorts of pain until Andy got an early beta out (that’s why it only works on the US Language option).

As soon as Google roll out GMail 2.0 for the other Languages this’ll work fine.

Only thing I prefer from the earlier version was listing projects/contexts/etc horizontally at the top of a message, rather than vertically in a navigation dashboard. Otherwise this is a brilliant implementation of GTD.

I wish this could work along with Gmail skins addons.

I like this approach, seems like it may be easily workable for most people! I had went through a round of GTD testing on my end and came up with a local copy of GTD TiddlyWiki for my answer but I'm always looking for something better!

Only works in english (US?) language modus. As soon as I turn on my german language, everything from the GTD Addon disappears :-(
