Gmail for GTD Implementation
Merlin Mann | Sep 13 2004
Google’s Gmail lets you create custom labels for tagging any of your messages. This seems ready-made for a Getting Things Done implementation. Your “INBOX” holds your unprocessed mail, while your processed messages are manually shuttled into the appropriate buckets. All that processed mail lives in the same archive, but you use your custom Gmail labels as GTD “facets” to quickly pull up just the messages you need for your current context. Plus, of course, you can “Google” your own mail archive with the program’s excellent, advanced searching options. Believe me, this will soon have you wishing every mail program’s searching was this robust (I’m looking at you, Mail.app). Anyone out there tried a Gmail implementation of GTD yet? 23 Comments

This connects nicely with GMailFS, a hack that allows to treat a GMail storage space as a folder on your filesystem. If you like to implement lists as text files, this is a great way to distribute it along many computers and make them accessible from a web browser. I think that for the moment it's only available for linux yet, but I also seem to remember that I have seen similar tools for other OSes. Just google for them... » POSTED IN:
