[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Outliner/organiser

[Mark Hadfield]

If you want Outlines on both the Mac and the Palm then I'd recommend  
Brainforest or ShadowPlan + OmniShadow. Both of these can do basic  
task management too (Shadow Plan can sync with your Palm Tasks,  
Brainforest can draw nice timelines).

I'd also check out Life Balance. I used it for many years because it  
has a really nice desktop version and the Palm version integrates  
really nicely with Calendar and Tasks. However, I never quite got to  
grips with the Life Balance philosophy, it just doesn't work for me.  
I wanted something more GTD-like and I found shoe-horning Life  
Balance into GTD possible but uncomfortable.

However, I recently discovered the Kinkless GTD system (kGTD) and I'm  
really, really happy with it:

It doesn't allow me to play with project outlines on the Palm, but it  
does provide exactly what I want on the Palm, no more and no less.  
All of my Project Actions are two-way sync'd as Tasks to specific  
iCal Calendars (either by Project or more usefully by Context). This  
is the main reason I upgraded Missing Sync recently - i.e. to sync  
iCal Calendars with Palm Categories. It all works really, really  
nicely. If I think of things to do on the road then I can still add  
them as a Palm Task and they'll come into kGTD next time I sync. This  
is perfect for me, as I've always found even the best Palm Outliners  
to be not so practical on such a small screen. I spend a lot of time  
at my Mac while I'm working so I also really appreciate the  
QuickSilver support in kGTD.
