Getting Things Done®
David Allen's book - "Getting Things Done" - is a very practical process for
personal workload management. It has been adopted by thousands of people all
over the world. But it doesn't work easily with desktop software such as
Microsoft Outlook, which was designed before GTD® came along.
TaskAngel has a number of features that make it a natural tool for Getting
Things Done.
Everything is collected together in big list. So you can see it all. Then
the one-click filters let you see what's relevant to you right now.
Tasks are organized into Projects. A project is a set of individual tasks
that combine to a single outcome.
Tasks can be given Contexts. A context is a location where tasks get
done, like Home or Work or Computer.
Tasks can be identified as Next Actions. A Next Action is the next
physical task that must be done to move things forward.
Filters help you make the best choices. One
click gets you all your Next Actions, or all tasks to be done at your Computer,
or all overdue tasks. You can filter by text too, so you can see all tasks
concerning Sarah, for example, ready for an upcoming call or meeting.
Use the same list everywhere. Print out your tasks and take them with you
- all of them or just the relevant filtered views. Sync your task list between
computers at work and at home, or with a handheld device, using Toodledo.
