GTD in Producteev: Utilizing Multiple Workspaces

GTD in Producteev

If you have read 40Tech over the past year, you may have discovered my minor obsession with productivity apps and methods. It’s a journey that began with my first post here: GTD in Evernote with Only One Notebook (posted a year and a week ago ), and continued through reviews of Action Method Online and on into my latest experiment, Producteev 2. I have really been enjoying Producteev, and have been using it exclusively for some time now — so I decided it was time to attempt a full GTD implementation, and see how it would work. After some trial and error, I’m satisfied. Check out a walkthrough of my method for GTD in Producteev, below.

That was only two months ago and the ambitious developers over at Producteev HQ have been steadily pushing out improvements and new features.

When Does Low-Tech Work Better For You?

I received my Droid X this week, which I think everyone can agree is somewhere near, if not the top, of mobile technological achievement (I’m willing to share the spot with the iPhone 4, but it’s worth pointing out that mine makes calls with or without a case).  The device is truly a testament to what humanity has been able to achieve.  For $99 plus tax, after rebates, I now own a piece of metal, plastic and silicon that more or less fits in my pocket and serves as: a phone; a camera; an HD video camera; a DVR; a music player; a computer; an organizer . . . You get the idea – crazy good technology.  I’ll talk more about it, Android apps, my transition from a Blackberry and an iPhone and more in the future, but holding this marvel of modern technology makes me wonder – what happened to low-tech?
