ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

Updated add-ins for MindManager 2012 have been posted for Map2Excel, MindReader, MarkTaskComplete, MyMapMacros, and Omni2Map.

As I mentioned in my last post on Declaring GTD Bankruptcy, I recently decided to switch my personal GTD system to make better use of my new Ipad 2. Why Switch? Besides the value of having to reconsider all my priorities in the migration process, the main driver was to get away from my home [...]

Thanks to Sam S. for sharing some of his improvements of map2excel, particularly around how to add notes as comments.

Mark Task Complete needs to deal with start dates correctly in order to properly advance repeating tasks when they are completed. Thanks to [...]

In Part 2, we had generated a rough outline of actions to be taken to address issues with Task dates in MindManager 9: I left off at that point with a "Translate brainstorm into action plan @maps", which pops up in my daily action dashboard as a reminder to return to the project. When I [...]
