ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

Over time I’ve customized the GyroQ “You’ve Got Mail” script to send me three separate email messages each morning based on ResultsManager dashboards that have updated overnight— one for deadlines, one for targets, and one for next actions. This morning I noticed that while the targets and deadline messages were showing up fine, the “My […]

I recently started experimenting with wiki.activityowner.com as a means of more flexibly gathering and updating knowledge about MindManager, ResultsManager, GyroQ, and GTD, and to enable activityowner.com readers to participate in documenting tools like MindReader and Mark Tasks Complete. This feels like a bit of a retreat for a map evangelist, but while MindManager has wiki-like […]

The recording of Gyronix CEO Nik Tipler’s webinar on using GyroQ is now available. The audio isn’t all that hot, but the content is good, particularly around 32:45 if you are a MindReader fan :-). On a related note, David Allen‘s long-time tech guru Eric Mack has a MindJet Webinar on Wednesday March 28th on […]

RSS Feeds Group RSS […]

The MindManager Viewer Browser Plug-in provides a convenient way to share MindManager maps to a broad audience without requiring them to own MindManager or to install the desktop viewer application. It can be particularly hand on an intranet as means to avoid read-only users from locking out people needing to edit maps. The problem is […]

The recent GTD Phone Home post described a method for automatically capturing voice input from Jott and/or email input sent to mailbucket into a ResultsManager in-tray using the MindManager rss smart map part. The method works surprisingly well except for one hitch — each time you refresh the rss map part, it re-imports all the […]

How are you ever going to keep your inbox empty if GyroQ keeps putting an updated plain text outline of your ResultsManager “Daily Action” dashboard in it every morning? That problem aside, web-based email is now nearly universally accessible from home and work, and increasingly by mobile phone. Always having an updated next-actions list nearby […]
