ActivityOwner.Com – Getting Things Done with MindManager

On Saturday morning I confronted my ResultsManager Daily Actions Plus dashboards in MindManager facing several dozens items in my @web, @home, @errand, @workpc context lists.

As most ActivityOwner.Com readers are likely aware, Mindjet is launching MindManager 7 on May 31st.

RSS Feeds Group RSS […]

The recent GTD Phone Home post described a method for automatically capturing voice input from Jott and/or email input sent to mailbucket into a ResultsManager in-tray using the MindManager rss smart map part. The method works surprisingly well except for one hitch — each time you refresh the rss map part, it re-imports all the […]

How are you ever going to keep your inbox empty if GyroQ keeps putting an updated plain text outline of your ResultsManager “Daily Action” dashboard in it every morning?
