Getting Things Done – The Secret Weapon

Have I dreamed of the PERFECT to-do list and workflow?

YES I HAVE.

So have the good folks at Brain Toniq:

If you dreamed of the “perfect system” what attributes would it have? We think it would:

Keep everything in one system (versus one way for one kind of to-dos and another method for other types of to-dos).

Allow you to group items in different ways, so that you’re not staring at all 80 to-dos that you’ve written down. Instead, you can look only at “Downtown” to-dos, or “My daughter” to-dos. You can sort by priority, where, who, what.

Allow you to remove emails out of the Inbox and into your to-do system …

Be where you are, up to date, when you need it.

Allow you to approach what to do next from different points of view, “wearing different hats” and organize and view those items accordingly.

Have a way to capture ideas and to-do items when you think of them, getting ALL of them out of your head.

Keep you in control and not overwhelmed even if you have a TON of things to do.
We have created exactly this. Because of the impact it’s having on our lives and businesses, we call it The Secret Weapon, or TSW for short. …

I spent a few hours getting up-to-speed, and am now trying to use the incredibly powerful Evernote for my to-do list.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

I’m keen to capture audio notes … and visual notes with my iPhone. (VIDEO)

Yesterday I updated to Evernote 5 for Mac, a significantly different interface. So far, I like it better.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

More Evernote videos.

Wish me luck. I’m trying to transition away from Google Tasks and text to-do lists.
