Microsoft OneNote + Moto-rokr E6(that's my phone)

Here's my workflow, I have an "action" page which containing multiple bullet lists. Whenever a task/thought occurs that requires action i put it into my action page under a heading it belongs to.. like , ,, so i don't lose any tasks. Everynite i pick some things i need to do tomorrow, and add them to my cell phone tasklist, which also carries my calendar for meetings/events etc. And thats it.

All day i just keep track of my phone task list, cos it's just shorter and i don't have to be look at the bigger list.

I love Things for todo lists on the mac but I do not follow the GTD system.

That being said, these people have had some success with using Things as a GTD tool:

I used to use a bunch of todo.txts, but then I wrote a system that allows you to basically enter todo.txts online, parses and categorizes them, while keeping original text nearby. And it's available wherever you are. The original problem I had with all the other GTD systems was a lot of tabbing, I type around 120WPM and it's much easier for me to enter something like:

project taskulus.reliability.history.milestone36

1. cleanup scheme:30min

2. add observed_in_task field and test:30min

3. add HTML generator for event history:1hr

It's basically like microtasking :)
