Making eMail excellent: A long-overdue rethink and a much anticipated application
Email client applications are all much of a muchness; some do more than others with tagging, highlighting and rules, but in the main they ultimately allow you to read email.
From a ‘Getting Things Done‘ (GTD) perspective, email has been the one ‘inbox’ (in the sense of GTD) that has been incongruous to the rest in my system; I’ve found it really difficult to smoothly integrate emails in my inbox into my GTD workflow.
Apple Mail in 10.8: New Special Folder for AppleScripts Used in Rules
If, like me, you use mail rules a lot in Apple Mail, you’ll be thankful for this nugget of information from George Coghill.
How to: Communicate your plans effectively with Short Calendar
Email can be a terrible way to communicate. One such occasion is when trying to communicate planned time. As Nathan Cahill puts it:
“Plans are not easy to communicate over email. Whether you are planning a short trip or having a relative visit, you need to write it in calendar format.”
And, fortunately for the rest of us, he went ahead and created Short Calendar, a web app that allows you to do just that – create your plan on a calendar and email it to whoever you need to.
Simple, free. Excellent.
Thanks to Brent Sordyl, who’s blog post brought this service to my attention.
How to set up a Greplin/Cue search in Alfred with one step (updated Jun 2012)
I thought it was worth bringing the update that I’ve made to this blog post to your attention.

Greplin evolves into Cue – and saves our day
So, Greplin is now (or soon will be, if you’re waiting for the web app) Cue.
Why I love mobile tech
I just love how the tech around me makes doing the nitty-gritty work less time-consuming.

What my workspace says about me
I was recently drawn to a photo of David Allen’s home office space, as posted on the GTD Times blog. I took a good look at the photo and started to think about my workspace and what its setup said about me.
GTD + Evernote = The Secret Weapon
I happened across Berin’s blog by way of WordPress’s “Read Blogs” feature. This is an interesting post on how he uses Evernote to manage getting things done; the “The Secret Weapon” system that he mentions and links to is something I’m going to take a good look at in the near future.
I’ve started to compile a list of different users’ Evernote filing and tagging techniques, and I hope to post my findings here in due course.
Why I moved back to Wunderlist
This post has been prompted a (short) Twitter conversation between myself and Craig Jarrow.
The story starts a little over 2 weeks before that conversation, when I went the other way. I had been toying with WunderKit but not getting any serious use out of it, so I spent some of my weekend moving my task lists and tasks into WunderKit. I was going to ditch Wunderlist and work exclusively from the new kid on the block.
Wunder-full apps
One of the major drivers for the transfer to Wunderkit was to try and work out what Wunderkit actually is. Is it a replacement for Wunderlist? Is it a replacement for BaseCamp? Both? Neither? I was imagining it as a replacement for some or all of my other GTD and project management tools. (I now know better – read on.)
