Die Buchstabenkombination GETTING THINGS DONE (GTD) liest man in letzter Zeit nicht selten. Anders ergeht es mir bei  Getting Blogs Done . Gelesen hatte ich es bei M. Tessel, der dies im uebrigen ausfuehlich und interessant im Zusammenhang mit dem derzeitig stattfindenem BlogCampSwitzerland in Erwaehnung bringt. Dennoch bleibt auch ihm eine Frage unerklaert:

[..]Leider bekomme ich keine Antwort auf meine Frage, wie man den Funnel (sammeln, organisieren, schreiben) besser und schneller in den Griff bekommt[..]

In den naechsten Tagen werde ich kurz einmal Vialist austesten.

GETTING THINGS DONE (GTD) mit Vitalist

• Start out by putting anything you may need to do or remember in your Vitalist inbox. This can include to-dos, notes, projects, ideas, phone numbers, etc. The idea is to get it out of your head and into Vitalist.

• After you have added actions to your inbox, you need to process them and get them organized. Each action can be moved to its appropriate list. These lists include:

  1. Actions: Things you are ready to get done
  2. Waiting: Things you are waiting for other people to do
  3. Someday: Items you want to think about in the future but are unsure when
  4. Ticklers: Items you would like to be reminded about on a specific day in the future
  5. Reference: Un-actionable items that you would like to remember

  Once the appropriate lists have been chosen, you can add attributes to each action or item like projects, contexts, due dates, and priority. You can also set up actions with reminders and to repeat at specific intervals.

• Now that you have organized what you need to do, it is time to start getting things done. Vitalist gives you the power to access your lists and actions from anywhere. Mark your items complete as you go. All actions are archived so you can easily review how much you got done.

Es gaebe auch eine Desktop Aplikation :

For Windows users, you can now bypass your browser and access your Vitalist account directly from your desktop. It is called VitaDesktop and a big thanks goes to Michael Prendergast for creating it.

VitaDesktop is a little application that can reside in your system tray. This efficient app should only take up 1/5 to 1/3 of the resources that Internet Explorer or Firefox does. Just double-click on the icon in your tray and your Vitalist account pops up in one of three modes: compact (mobile), iphone, or full. read more
