Also, the last time I looked, this group was not accepting any new users. I am using Outlook as the GTD setup. I have it synched with my iPhone, using chapera as the synch device. Calendar and Contacts synch via iTunes and the iPhone, I use the Chapera service for tasks. Just like the Palm Pilot without the Notes function. Every person's situation is unique. For what you have described, I would serious look at an online system for everything. I have tried several that have worked well, but each system is different. Most offer free or limited trials -- I'd use the heck out of the free trial or limited offer on some test tasks and see how they work. Good luck -- GTD is THE way for knowledge workers to manage their work. Make sure you work the methodology and that your system works to how you use the methodology. It's not about the tool, it is about the methodology that uses tools. Cathy, I don’t use this one any more. Also, the last time I looked, this group was not accepting any new users.

I, like you, have a system problem. I have a secured laptop at work (user can't add any programs), a work Blackberry, a personal Blackberry, and a home laptop. My system is in shambles because I can't sync unify my work at home tasks on any electronic medium (my preference). I realized that I was going to have to look at some online task managment systems and really appreciate you describing your process. Just curious, how is it going? Is it still working for you?

I went to the PassPack sight and found some very good stuff there. I think you'll agree that, regardless of the tool, most knowledge workers have so many passwords or 'personal vault' items, that some sort of password manager is needed. Who would have thunk just five short years ago that would be the case! Thanks for the information, Tara. I went to the PassPack sight and found some very good stuff there.

First a disclosure: I'm a cofounder at PassPack. I went over and had a look at GTD Tracks demo. It looks pretty neat actually, very simple to use. I can understand why you chose an online service considering all the changing computers you seem to do. You might want to try an online alternative to Roboform for the same reason - anytime, anywhere access without the USB drive. PassPack is an online password manager. It's a free service and uses high security encryption as well as anti-phishing. You can store logins, software keys, notes, etc. In a couple of weeks we'll be releasing an automatic login tool and a tool for importing from Roboform (Roboform does not offer export options - it's my biggest issue with an otherwise valid product). Roboform's form filling capacities are far better, but PassPack makes up for it in ease of use and portability. You can leave PassPack "always on" in a tab like you do with GTD Tracks. So it might fit well into your natural work process. Here's a getting started guide if you're interested: http://passpack.wordpress.com/passpack-getting-started/ I realize I just gave you a ton of information, so feel free to contact me if you have questions.
