Thanks and happy new year (almost)!!!

Although what you explain sounds cool, that is not the integration I’m dreaming about… I’ve tried several approaches to implementing gtd and I’ve failed miserably all the times… There was a time, when I used RTM as my main gtd tool, when I would actually get things done by setting due dates. I would be notified every morning about the “commited” next actions and wouldn’t erase the email untill they had not been carried out.

Anyway, what I’m looking for is a product or whatever that will integrate 
- a real project management tool for tracking who is responsable for a certain area of a project
- a good task manager tool for managing identified actions by context, due date, etc (RTM is a killer app but there are many others that work good as well)
- a mind mapping tool for gaining perspective

Of course all these different tools should seamlessly integrare with each other… I know that I’m probably dreaming but I’m positive this is the right integration. Have you heard about an app called mylifeorganized?? You can import maps generated with mindmanager but the whole story ends there, no full integration possible… I may need to investigate a little further  but though it does the trick it isn’t a full blown integration  

Man, you guys at mindjet can do it.. Mind manager is the ground level system upon everything else is to be build. If only you came up with this sort of solution… We need this!!!     

Each site operates differently based on how it was developed on their end. Essentially, you attach links to any site (or Google Doc) to a MindManager 8 topic. Then, click the link in MindManager and it opens inside of our embedded browser. It lets you work in context. I posted another example of this on the Mindjet blog this week. It was a CAD expert who uses both maps and Autodesk Design Review together!

Another example, my own, was when I wrote an article that was recently published in a magazine. I collaborated with another writer in South Carolina. We both worked in the same map (collaboratively, using Mindjet Connect). The map held our research and outline. The writing took place in Google Docs. We both worked on the map and draft in Google simultaneously and viewing both at the same time. It was way cool!

How true is that? Man, If you can make that happen, I’m sold

I posted a webinar about how I GTD with MindManager and Outlook. You can access it here: http://twurl.nl/p8bnvz

re: your questions:

is there any chance you can record a video about your workflow? more or less covered in the video.

What about that pluggin, who’s the vendor? Netcentrics – bought it on David Allen’s store.

Is it the one included with ResultManager? No

How do you tag/label your tasks in order for your system to tell them apart (projects, actions, areas of responsability, 30000ft, etc?)? You’ll see it in my video. I don’t keep tasks in 20,000 or above. They represent goals and goals have projects that live in 10,000′.

Does that pluggin enable context list? In outlook, yes.

How about journaling and colaborative work (need to report to my boss weekly about project status and actions completed)? I copy from my dashboard and paste into ‘team’ map which is reviewed collaboratively on a weekly basis.

Hope this helps!

sorry about the delay in my response but I needed to get some sleep, I’m located in Spain…

Sorry about the overwhelming amount of questions but as I said, I’m pretty worried about it all… Don’t seem to be able to get my head out of the mess around me.

Thanks a lit in advance!!!

I’ve already started using it but it is sooo slow. I’m interested in knowing how you implemet gtd… I’ve seen a post on your blog about it (named MIAW…) but there is something I don’t understand or didn’t see… How do you manage your actions??

Mindmanager is greate for maping out thoughts etc what do you do with your next actions? Do you keep them on a paper or in mm? I would very much appreciate you going little more into detail on that…

Any better software for mind mapping and gtd? Tpassist looks rather poor…

Thanks Michael, really appreciate your help.
