It’s simple, but it works for me and I can access it from anywhere on any computer. A big plus in my book.

Good luck in your search and God Bless.

That is very much a truth. If you keen on OSX apps, things like Yojimba or DevonThink seem to fit the bill. Since you probably have VMware Fusion and XP or Vista, if you have access to OneNote, you may try it out. It really is an impressive piece of software, once you get into it. I will hopefully be putting up some content on http://www.inatree.org about it in the next few weeks, so you might keep an eye on that.

Good luck in your search and I look forward to watching your progress.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I should probably be looking at two applications–one to help me manage tasks, and another for organization data that must be retained. This would be similar to the way you use OneNote for reference and Outlook for tasks.

Clif,

I’ve never been a big fan of Entourage, even though I too am in an Exchange environment. Keep me posted on how well Entourage 2008 works; I may have to re-evaluate things.

I then use the Outlook task list as my “action” list, I assign each task an Outlook category, which is a GTD “context”. I spend my day working off my calendar, incoming email, and the task list. I try to triage my task list at the end of each day (I do make some light use of priority, but this is not really GTD-esque). I try to go through all my projects and agendas in OneNote during my weekly review on Fridays.

This system is still pretty new, but is working so far.

When I was still in school, I used KGTD + iCal + index cards (DIY Planner HipsterPDA edition). My wife and I use Google Calendar + Remember The Milk to manage our personal life, you might look at RTM, as with Google Gears, it works offline.

Good point, but I’d rather stick with a native OS X solution if one can be found. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
