For those unfamiliar with this system, GTD is basically a time and commitment management system, and this definition from Wikipedia truly encapsulates the concept perfectly… “GTD rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of their mind and get them recorded somewhere. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate fully on actually performing those tasks. “ …and yes - speaking from experience, it really works. Jello GTD is a brand new open source plugin which helps you implement this system in Outlook What’s good? What’s not? Having tried it out, it seems that there is no obvious way to associate email to the tasks created. As a lot of of my work is driven by emails that need to be actioned, this is a big drawback. Conclusion: If your work is not heavily email based, and you’d like a better way to keep track of your tasks, it’s certainly worth a try… after all it’s free. If anything this program will help whip a scattered workflow back into shape. It’s better than ending up like this… Try it now - Jello GTD

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.

Marvin: Interesting need, but wouldn’t the oldest post always be the same one? (the first blog post). Anyway, I’m struggling to understand the wnd purpose of the plugin you need. Can you elaborate a bit further?

It was suggested to me to download the trial b/c i’m such a huge fan of Getting Things Done (GTD), but i was hugely dissapointed in the Outlook Addin. So I wrote a plugin for Outlook based on GTD principles for myself. Much simplier and useful i think.
