At the end of each day, I block off 30 minutes to check each in-box, too. Sometimes it's Siri on my watch when I am out walking sometimes it's Amazon Alexa reminder, shopping list, etc when I have my hands full of meatloaf or dough sometimes, it's a note on paper when I am in meeting. I also love the tags feature in One Note that allows me to tag what I need to do (calendar, project, task, reminder), create a separate One Note page and email it to myself.Īt the beginning of each day, I block off 30 minutes to check my in-boxes including email, paper in-box, Siri, Alexa, To Do and Google tasks. I use O365 Outlook/OneNote, etc at work and Gmail/Drive at home. They both offer free trial versions but you'll need to pay to set up a functional GTD system in either. I think todoist has more features but Nirvana is more orthodox GTD friendly. The two I keep coming back to are Nirvana and Todoist. Nirvana - great if you want to avoid a subscription, solid app, very stable, extremely compatible with GTD.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned it doesn't work for my situation.

A common misconception upon the first read of GTD is that David is advocating for one tool. This is a common issue for a lot of people who are forced to use separate tools for work and personal.
