Yalpe,
I just wanted to mention a lot of free resources for the GTD system (Getting Things Done by David Allen, mentioned previously).
I had been using GTD for months before I finally bought the book and had learned it all from the web and websites like these...
-
43 Folders, awesome especially if you use a mac
-
43folder forums, ask and you shall receive
-
GTD primer, especially for people with a regular desk
-
GTD Wiki, all you ever wanted to know about GTD
-
Merlin Mann and David Allen's Productivity Podcast, the author of the book and a big GTD fan let it all out
Some of my favorite GTD articles:
-
Project vs Next-Action verbs
-
Look-into verbs
-
Building a smarter to-do list Part 1
-
Building a Smarter ToDo List Part 2
And since you want an online todo list, GTD has got you covered there too. These tools are all free.
-
GTDTiddlyWiki
-
BackPack todo list
-
GTD Gmail plugin, and if you use Gmail, this plugin will make it easy to create and add tasks to a GTD style task list stored in your gmail box
There's also a
forum post dedicated to GTD tips that might provide even more information.
Enjoy!
Rebecca
