tasktoy
This web based program was written to manage tasks GTD style. It is worth checking out if a web based solution is your thing. I am still not convinced about web programs for this kind of application. I am still waiting for the uber-sexy program to manager my information and GTD processes. At the moment, I am using a combination of onenote and outlook and I need more time to assess if this will work as I am finding myself still unsettled by the process.
But for those of you who would like a web based solution for your GTD needs check out tasktoy
“Tasktoy is a task management program that I wrote for myself after reading Getting Things Done by David Allen. While I wasn’t trying to build a complete implementation of his system, the book inspired me to start keeping track of everything I need to get done. I decided that I really needed the following:
A Homepage. Task lists are useless unless you look at them regularly. This meant that it would need to load quickly, have a clean design, a Google search box and customizable links.
Place dependent lists. If I’m at work, I only want to see things that I can do at work. Same thing at home. The site needs to know where I am.
Time dependent tasks. Tasks should appear only when necessary and not clutter up my lists in the meantime.
Low resistance. One click to add to the current list. Two clicks to add to a different list. A screen where I can paste in several items at once.
Repeating tasks. I need to be reminded to move my car for street sweeping, and that it’s been two weeks since I last vacuumed. I used this feature in Outlook and I wanted it in tasktoy also.
Lists of “whenevers”. I’m often at work when someone mentions a restaurant or a book. I wanted to add these quickly and easily but have them not show up on my to-do lists.
Simple project management. Sometimes I have a list of things that need to be done in order. There’s no point putting an item on my to-do list until the previous items have been completed.”
