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

In a coment on the project management series, Charles suggested MindManager map outlining how to accomplish certain tasks with MindManager, GyroQ, ResultsManager, Outlinker, and other tools in the site. A map might ulitmately work, but I think using a page on wiki.activityowner.com might be easier to put together collaboratively. I've pasted in his initial outline [...]

I recently re-installed my Windows 7 operating system and moved my "data" to a D: partition. I also store my maps in a dropbox folder, which I symbolically link into my documents folder. Between these two factors, I ended up with quite a few broken links after the migration. The ResultsManager multi-map checker has several [...]

Back in 2007 I briefly experimented with setting up a set of discussion forums to work along side the wiki and the blog. At the time it seemed like spam was going to get out of hand, and there were better alternatives, so I turned it off. Since that time the activity levels on the [...]

The typical approach to utilizing ResultsManager to harvest project and next action information from MindManager maps is to set up a central map that links out to each map of interest or to a set of "area" map centrals which links to project maps. While this approach does allow you to navigate down to particular [...]

Stefan asked a question on the Yahoo GTD MindManager group: Hi all, I am using the In-tray dashboard from Gyronix' ResultManager and AOs "In-Tray.mmbas" macro to create a map that shows a) the actions in the in trays and b) the links to the In-Trays. This way it is easy to have direct access to [...]

I got a request to add a feature to OutLinker to archive OutLook messages to disk rather than to a pst file. Rather than add that complexity to OutLinker, I found it easier and potentially more generally useful to create a macro that moves the 1st attachment present in selected MindManager topics to disk and [...]
