ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

While reviewing my ResultsManager Daily Actions Plus Dashboard in MindManager this evening, I noticed I had accumulated quite a few “next actions” in the “no context” branch. This branch has usually be relatively lean since I began using MindReader heavily. Putting things in context is a key aspect of GTD. I realized several activities had […]

The recent ActivityOwner.Com review of MindManager 7 mentioned that a big downside of the new release was a bug that prevented the file operations in MindReader macros from working correctly when called by GyroQ.

David rightly points out that if you are in the hardware store, you are much better off reviewing your next action list for that […]

The recording of Gyronix CEO Nik Tipler’s webinar on using GyroQ is now available. The audio isn’t all that hot, but the content is good, particularly around 32:45 if you are a MindReader fan :-). On a related note, David Allen‘s long-time tech guru Eric Mack has a MindJet Webinar on Wednesday March 28th on […]

Hans poured over the MindReader code and made several great suggestions, additions, and bug-fixes. For example, MindReader now adds a gray “blob” icon if it does not a responsible resource or an action verb to use in assigning a context. The big addition though is of a new GyroQ MindReader “s” tag. The existing “o” […]
