Reflections on 2nd round Judges thoughts.
It’s one am, I’m a bit sick, traveling, working in nyc for the week, and of course, the vote is occurring when I don’t have the weekend to lobby and explain.
I wanted to write something direct to each of the Judges comments along the line, as well as take a moment to thank each of them for the time they put into the comments.

Two items, first, Scott, the reason the Net is enamored with Getting Things Done….it’s because it’s so useful as most of us are getting overwhelmed with an ever increasing amount things/communications complicating our lives. You can tell when you find a system that works….and GTD just works.
Second, I’ve used every app available; Kinkless is..well, full of kinks (and impossible for a newbie.) Midnight Beep’s Inbox, is Alpha, alpha, alpha! Really. Unusable (although he may have a true beta available in the next week.) Omnifocus? Who knows if/when it’ll come out…and if it’ll have any sort of GTD thoguth to it.

You don’t make a calendar entry for every item in your life - but you do have to actually track those things you want to get done - otherwise, you don’t have a system you can trust.
And I totally agree it’s gotta be understandable in 5 min. I think a total Mockup rework is in order.
Dan Hendley,
Once you get GTD working in your life….it’s like the best overview of your shit you ever had.

GTD is NOT a to do list. To do lists fail because you often, get stuck, over items that are really projects in disguise. Which is why you adopt a To Do list, stick with it for about a week…and then ignore big items that really need to be broken down into smaller pieces.
That’s quite a bit of what GTD does for you - helps you recognize what a “project” is.
