Someone mentioned Pocketmod–the great little fold up method. You should also know about PagePacker, which takes any PDF and creates a Pocketmod.

I suppose you could easily print from Omni Outliner to PDF, thence to a PagePacker pocketmod!

[…] As probably most of you know, I’m a GTD freak and I love being efficient. I thought I had it nailed with my Omni Outliner to-do method, but I found it was starting to slow me down. The fact that Omni Outliner doesn’t support due-dates and reminders is a real problem. I found myself having to go into iCal and set reminders for the really important date sensetive stuff. […]

[…] If you’re already using OmniOutliner, you should check out Ryan Carson’s excellent tutorial on how he integrated the software with GTD into his daily workflow. TUAW also has a sneak preview of OmniFocus, the new GTD application from OmniGroup. […]

Thats a interesting approach to gtd, Ryan!

maybe pocketmod could be useful for you, to print your action-lists:

You can use it to print your action-lists more sophisticated, e.g. with a weekly calendar.

sincerly,
Chris

Great video. Really pleased with the pen tip, as I’ve been looking for a small, safe quality pen for my pocket and following your video went out and bought a Lamy Pico today and it’s great.

I Look forward to your future posts. Cheers.

Very nice presentation. It gave me some ideas here and there.
I was wondering though as I watched : Why do you need to divide the categories into project sections when you already have each item categorized and could use the categories to sort it into groups? Seems a bit consuming to manually sort into projects.

I was just discovering this site and I like it so far. Already put the PSS into NewsFire so I won’t miss anything in the future. Thanks.

Now, back to my question. I noticed you had Basecamp shots. I assume it was so ‘other developers/designers’ can share/view a To Do list.
Do you still use Basecamp in parallel with Outliner? For example, your Amigo Todos.

Yes, we still use Basecamp for our project to-dos. This allows everyone to share one list.

Hi Ryan,
This was a great article. I love that you utilize YouTube and show it rather then just say it. You spray and it and say it.

Annyyyways, I remember from the ‘old’ days reading the other Blog (about developing Amigo) and there were screen shots of Basecamp.

First I had TaDa, then bought Basecamp, then started using Backpack (using lists). Now I just realized that I actually own that Omni software package! I knew I had the Graffle one, but I had no idea about the Outliner, and after watching your video (again, if you just stated it, I probably would have moved on) I’m convinced to give that a shot!

Now, back to my question. I noticed you had Basecamp shots. I assume it was so ‘other developers/designers’ can share/view a To Do list.

Whew. I just type away and things go nuts.

This kind of video tutorial was very useful to me. I will be reworking how I use OmniOutliner to incorporate some of your process. Thanks for the post.
