Hello,

I’m new to this forum.
I’ve listened the GTD book several times (Audible), but only now am I trying to implement it.
I’ve been looking for the best software tools, especially those that sync with a Pocket PC. I depend on my PPC for almost everything.
I have to have visible and audible reminders for everything or I just won’t do it. I am too sidetracked. I even forget to eat. Very often I find food in the microwave that I heated the day before and left it there uneaten. In the old days, prior to MW, I used to burn pots and pans all the time.

Recently I decided to try using MindManager. I downloaded the trial versions of 2 add ins: GyroQ and ResultsManager. I am playing with both,
Any ideas on this area. Has anyone tried implementing GTD with MindMaps?

Now, the thank you part. Thank you for letting me know I’m not alone. I knew I was ill, but I didn’t know there were others like me. And this illness has a name!!!
Crimping, is it :)
Just to give you an idea: I read some of the posts in this forum some days ago and I have already installed and uninstalled Ultra Recall, Zoot (never worked), Achieve Planner, MyLife Organized, Thinking Rock and a dozen (literally) more. I love to play around with new software, much more than games, actually. Except for cards and backgammon.

Anyway, I don’t normally write much. I’m a lurker most of the time, but this was my intro.

Regards,
