ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager, ResultsManager, and GyroQ

As regular readers know, my Saturday morning hobby for the past few years has been to develop and share new ways of using MindManager for implementing David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. The past several months I have been more focused on quietly using the tools rather than procratinating by tweaking them, but the [...]

Xiahung commented on the blog this week that MindManager 9 was adding task durations as "end date-start date" and causing unexpected date-related behavior in his ResultsManager dashboards. I hadn't noticed issues in the pre-release version I'd done some cursory testing on, but Nick Duffill has now determined that changes were made in the final release [...]

A ResultsManager user asked by email: "What template should I use for getting a dashboard just of high-priority projects and results that are tagged with Area X?

I thought it might be useful to solicit reader guidance on where it would be most valuable for you to focus. Basically I'm wondering whether to focus on discussing, enhancing, [...]

Nik Tipler recently did a webinar with the GTD Study Group on using ResultsManager and GyroQ. You can watch the video of the webinar here. It has also been added as a link on the wiki ResultsManager Resources page.

Juan has been collecting on his 2008 Next Action Analysis Contest prize with some macro requests. This weekend he asked for a MindManager macro that could take a ResultsManager dashboard with tasks that had been manually set to 100% complete (not processed with the "d" tag or "mark task complete" macro) and process them all [...]

Two of the biggest barriers to making good use of ResultsManager for Getting things Done (GTD) tend to be (1) the need to manually refresh dashboards and (2) the need to access to do list items away from your computer. When you sit down to get too work, the last thing you want to do [...]

I treated myself to an inexpensive Toshiba NetBook from Amazon on Black Friday so I am now in the mode of thinking how to use it to access and edit MindManager maps I've traditionally maintained on my desktop machine. There are a number of options and I wanted to solicit readers for input. I think [...]
