It would be really inspirational and of great help to see how others go about using gtd and jello. Cheers! Gabriel Hi Josh,

Great stuff, but have the same problem regarding projects. To solve the problem, I have been experimenting with creating folders for each project and adding the "in folder" field into the to do view to organize to do's into projects. I then created shortcuts for each folder so I can drag and drop the to do items into the projects. Still a work in progress, but it seems to works pretty well. Hope you find this helpful. Would welcome any other ideas. (Note: I purchased the GTD add-in years ago and have been using it on and off until this last upgrade. The tool is OK, but never was able to really get it working smoothly, there were so many little things that made it feel clunky. I just couldn't bring myself to reinstall it on my new machine.)

Outlook 2003 with add in options, custom VB Script, jello (great functionality but the performance was slow), as well as completely seperate tools like wikis and standalone spreadsheets. With Outlook 2007 now available to me I am back in Outlook. For my tasks I use a project user defined field to capture the project name and use the categories to define context. I have two task views I use..one which groups by categories and sorts by project and one which does the reverse. This is working well for me allowing me to quickly see my tasks both ways depending on if I am focusing on the project itself or my available contexts. Good luck on your productivity journey.

I'm only trying it myself right now. Just thought I'd pass it on to you as well :) Thanks very much for a very informative post.
