You can do the same with Producteev, but with some added benefits: you can assign workspace contexts, specific labels, and even a handy date and reminder that will sync with Google Calendar. In the GTD in Evernote method, you can forward emails from your inbox directly into Evernote. For specific projects that require collaboration, or you need to keep organized with a “project management” approach (as opposed to task management), you can open up a workspace up specifically for that project.īefore I get into the details of mapping your contexts into workspaces, I wanted to talk a bit about incorporating your email into your GTD system. Your general task list is personal to you, and under Producteev’s current pricing model, you can set up as many personal workspaces as you need to, for free. I understand the collaborative power that Producteev brings to the table, but the fact is that most tasks in your day, when put into a GTD context, do not require collaboration. I then created a workspace for every major context. I set up my main workspace as my “Brain Dump” inbox - I call it that because that’s what it is, and because the Producteev sidebar already has something named “Inbox”, that did not suit my purposes. To bend Producteev to my will, I chose to take advantage of their unlimited workspaces. Currently, the Overview tab doesn’t show labels and I like to use the smart filters and labels, both, to provide further subsets of task-data for easy, at-a-glance viewing. I needed a system that would be able to provide me with snapshots of my task list in non-overwhelming chunks (by context), even in Overview mode. Neither of those methods quite did it for me, though. Now let’s get right into it, shall we? There are a few possible ways to set up an effective GTD process in Producteev, including adapting the smart filters in the left tab, or extensive use of labels for contexts (this will work better if Producteev introduces labels that can be persistent across workspaces). Check out a walkthrough of my method for GTD in Producteev, below. After some trial and error, I’m satisfied. I have really been enjoying Producteev, and have been using it exclusively for some time now - so I decided it was time to attempt a full GTD implementation, and see how it would work. It’s a journey that began with my first post here: GTD in Evernote with Only One Notebook (posted a year and a week ago ), and continued through reviews of Action Method Online and on into my latest experiment, Producteev 2. If you have read 40Tech over the past year, you may have discovered my minor obsession with productivity apps and methods.
