GTD with Gmail (Conclusion)

Thanks for reading! It looks like the only thing I have to answer is the resounding request to create a white paper of this feature. This I will do (it’s already a next action). Since I haven’t had time to organize that yet you’ll have to be patient with me for a few days, but I would like to acknowledge some people.

Jonathan really got me interested and dedicated to learning and implementing GTD to begin with, and initially gave me the idea to use Gmail for GTD (after having done it himself).

Much of my inspiration comes from Merlin over at 43Folders and his wiki.

Thanks to Bren over at Slacker Manager for first bringing extra attention to my feature on GTD with Gmail.

I’m going to thank Zack early for agreeing to redo the design of my site (how boring that I use the default WP theme, right?) but I’ll let you all wait to thank him until it’s actually been changed (he’s making good progress).

And of course, thanks to all of you for your comments, questions and suggestions. Look for the white paper in a few days (and the book in a few months, Seth).

    I am using GTD for over two weeks now. Then I found your site. Great stuff. To use it, I’ve got myself a gmail accout and tried your suggestion. Still new to gmail but I found applying lable is not as easy as other gamil functionality(maybe there is a shortcut that I do not yet know). So I am trying to avoid it as much as possible. Here is how I did it but appreciate your thought.

    - For each Project, I send myself an email.
    - For each action for that project I replied to the email.

    So I have something like project plan when I open the conversation. I starred the next action as well as context label for that action (i.e. !Call !Errand, …).

    As action is completed, I change the star and context label.

    Your stuff was great and thanks for sharing.
