ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

The ActivityOwner.Com site has accumulated almost 350 comments over the span of 10 months. I enjoy them quite a bit and find it manageable, but tools like MindReader and Mark Task Complete that span several blog posts have their conversations spread across the site, leaving readers stumped as to where to ask a question. The […]

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 […]

For example, MindReader now adds a gray “blob” icon if it does not a responsible resource or an action verb to use in assigning a context.

Tommy pointed out a blog entry on using mailbucket to email entries into MindManager using the RSS smart map part. Around the same time a post […]

The most popular post on the ActivityOwner.com site is an early review of the pre-release version of GyroQ. The “Top Twenty Uses for GyroQ?” blog entry speculates on how users might ultimately choose to populate the 20 tag slots the software provides. Since that time, the Activityowner.com tag library has accumulated over 30 tags and […]

In my quest to create a generic “GyroParse” (now called “MindReader”), the first order of business was to create a generic and configurable way to open the destination MindManager map using GyroQ based on keywords in the queued item. After a few iterations, I converged on the following approach, which can be implemented for use […]

In its default mode, GyroQ lets you quickly unload plain vanilla action items “out of your head” and into a main “My In-Tray” map for later processing. While this is a great utility, it can lead you to accumulate a long list of generic and unrelated action items. With each addition to the queue, your […]
