ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

Up until now MindReader has processed individual tasks entered at the GyroQ prompt. Mal mentioned on the GTD-mindmanager yahoo group that it would be useful to have a drag and drop capability to pull in tasks he was accumulating in his Palm PDA. In order to address this need, the MindReader “q” command has been […]

Throughout the development of MindReader, the key challenge has been to find ways to make it easier for readers to install, configure, and use it. I have been pleasantly surprised by how taking the “configurable” approach has made the program more powerful and easier to use personally, particularly for use on multiple machines in multiple […]

The lists have been sorted out and cleaned up a bit, so if you haven’t looked at them in awhile, now might be a good time: ResultsManager Dashboard Template Library GyroQ Tag Library MindManager Macro Library […]

I decided to go into the SAX basic code and see if I could speed it up a bit. I made several changes, including leaving […]

Based on reader feedback, one of the more popular GyroQ hacks on ActivityOwner.Com is the Put it in front of the Door script that enables you to setup your computer to automatically unload your GyroQ queue and refresh your ResultsManager dashboards each morning. The new ResultsManager Ribbon-interface that Gyronix created for MindManager 7 makes it […]
