Getting Things Done

[gothick]

I've finally succumbed to the inevitable: it's time to get my life organised. I've now signed up with two Getting Things Done sites, nozbe and neptunehq to see which one of them has the best interface. I'm using one for work stuff and one for home stuff. So far it's a fairly even split...

Anyone else out there use onliney to-do list/GTD things? I need something web-based (at least in part) because I'll have to access it from a PC at work... (I've looked into iGTD on the Mac, and it was a bit pants, so I'm avoiding it for now.)

Some people don't need this stuff, I'm sure, but as a big procrastinator with a terrible memory, I find it really helps.

Remembering to do the fun things is just as important as remembering to do the work things... And being able to stick stuff into a reliable system for dealing with later helps me to counter my gadfly mind, by letting me file those random thoughts somewhere where they don't distract me from the job at hand. Otherwise I'll tend to flit from project to project, never finishing anything... Plus it stops me worrying all the time about what important thing I should have done that I've already forgotten about.

Another important thing is that it stops me taking on more stuff when I've already got more planned than one person could do in a lifetime :)

And I still do lots of spontaneous stuff that's not in the system, too :)
