Love the idea of a screen capture of a text and send to email! Thank you for the reminder to review and consolidate the GTD buckets, I need to work on that!
You're so welcome Todd!
For work (Social Worker), I've been using Microsoft ToDo, which syncs well between phone and web, and I believe an app on desktop (which I haven't installed yet).
At the top, I created a list called "Process this".
Within here I capture items that come into my head. Then, back at the web I can easily rename it into an actual action, and move it to the appropriate context.
Always nice to hear one of my first GTD coaches. I still have my DA notetaker wallet, circa 2007.
I love the 3 by 5 index cards from Dollar Tree, and integrate Dan Roam method maps onto them. I agree that sticky notes are not ideal -- the cards are easier to sort and stack.
Paul....it's so great to hear from you! 😊 I love hearing about the current versions of your GTD systems as you continue to refine them.
Great to hear that you like Braintoss - I'm a big fan of it as well. I'm using it to capture anything that takes place on my phone - be it a text message (Copy->Braintoss->Paste->Send), a link from an app (Open Share tray->Braintoss->Send), thing I'm taking a photo of in the real world or something I'm seeing on my phone screen (screenshot->Share tray->Braintoss->Send). In addition to text note or audio note, of course. It's a really versatile tool.
Hi Paul....thank you for mentioning the cross-functionality of Braintoss - text, microphone, or photo! 🙂
I understand the GTD Notetaker Wallet is out of production. (please correct me if I'm wrong) But I found a really useful thread on Reddit where folks have broken down all the components of it and where similar materials might be sourced from. I remember seeing an older video where David Allen showed the audience his wallet. I believe he was using a Fisher Space Pen (which I was reminded about on Reddit). Just ordered one for myself and can't wait to capture with it!
Thanks for sharing your find with the rest of the GTD community Clint! We hope your new wallet works out for you 👍
That's so great to know that there are other resources for this...thank you!
I would like to know how you take a photo of the text messages to send to email. Sounds like a good idea.
Hi Leslie, a great way to get pictures of your texts is to take a screenshot of your conversation using your phone and then send the screenshot to your email inbox through the sharing option in your photos app. Hope this helps!
Hi Leslie! I use the screen capture on the phone. I have an iPhone 6s which is holding the Sleep/Wake (side) button and Tome/touch ID simultaneously.
In iOS (iPhone) you can send and forward text messages to a contact. I have a contact called "Notebook" that just holds one of my email addresses. Any text messages forwarded to that contact become email messages to that address. With voice control of the phone I can say "Text Notebook" and voice a thought that becomes an email. So handy!
Brilliant.....thank you!
