Time To an almost kinkless GTD for Windows

Posted: December 19, 2005 by lesliesrussell in Notes

I’m not even going to try and tell you how to use David Berman’s TimeTo for Windows as your GTD application–somebody already did a pretty good job of that, and you can read the details in the TimeTo online help. I am just starting with GTD myself, and besides that isn’t the focus of this website.

For a while now, Mac users have had the good fortune of access to a free application, built on OmniOutliner Pro, called Kinkless GTD (kGTD). Lifehacker, 43Folders, and others have been busy getting their inboxes cleared, and finding time for other fun stuff, while poor Windows users have slogged along with some cludged together process, or worse yet something based on Microsoft Outlook.

Well, I am happy to report that after an entire night of searching (and a solid week of use) that TimeTo is an almost kinkless way to get things done.

The Kinkless GTD System
kGTD on Mac OSX TimeTo for Windows
  • freeware
  • built on OmniOutliner Pro (Pro is required)
  • designed specifically for use in GTD
  • archive completed tasks
  • next action highlighting
  • inbox
  • sync to iCal or any PDA
  • keyboard shortcuts for everything
  • configurable color scheme (which is good because the default is UGLY)
  • multiple views (day, week, month, project, task, priority, etc.)
  • 31 day preview window (see how your month looks at a glance)
  • automatic day balancer
  • automatic load lightener
  • schedule programs to run
  • reports
  • sync to Palm

It ain’t pretty, but is seems very flexible and able to grow with your needs.

Right now, TimeTo is donationware with all proceedes going to help in Katrina relief efforts.

    You may want to check out http://www.GoalsOnTrack.com, a very nicely built web app designed for tracking goals and todo lists, and has time tracking. It’s clear, focused, easy to navigate, worth a try.
