ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

Awhile back an OutLinker user ran into trouble transferring a large Microsoft OutLook message into MindManager via GyroQ. We determined the shear size of the transfer was the problem.

It has been about four months since my last post on OutLinker and I wanted to let folks know that several improvements and bug fixes have trickled onto the wiki since then. The macro now defaults to routing transfers to MindManager through GyroQ, which […]

In a message on the GTD-MindManager Yahoo group, Juan asked about ways of getting tasks into MindManager from his new PDA. I thought it might be useful to cross-post a reply here for posterity: Here are four options for getting items into your maps from a mobile device. Use bitbucket.org to mail yourself task from […]
