ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

The QuickTime video loop below shows the GyroQ MindReader “process current topics” (“c”) tag acting on selected MindManager topics. Based on the keyword matches the macro sees in the user’s MindReader configuration map, it performs a GTD “process” step by setting the activity context, due dates, icons, priorities, category, area, resources, etc. Keywords contained in […]
