![]() ![]() When you are collecting notes and to-dos you get to choose where they go-tasks go into your to-do list, ideas and plans to your notes app. Here we have some control over what’s in there. Let's deal with what you collect in your todo list manager’s inbox first. Your to-do list manager’s inbox and your email inbox. Now, there are two inboxes that will need your attention every day - or at least every forty-eight hours. When that happens you soon stop collecting and that’s a sign your system has failed and you need to reassess your structure and overall system. In theory, this should be relatively quite a simple task, yet I know it causes people so many problems that in the end they resist doing it and things start to build up in inboxes. Processing, or organising, is where you sort out everything you have collected into your inboxes and make decisions on them based on what a collected item is, what needs doing with it and where to put it. Let’s start with a recap on what processing is. Hi Justin, thank you very much for your question. For me, it takes more than 30 minutes - often an hour - is there anything I am doing wrong? Justin asks: Hi Carl, I’ve watched many of your videos and you often talk about processing your inbox as only taking around 10 to 20 minutes. Okay, on to this week’s question and that means it’s now time for me to hand you over to the mystery podcast voice for this week’s question.

This question perfectly describes a problem I see many people have when it comes to using GTD-or COD-for that matter and that is the speed you process the items you collect throughout the day. This week I have a fantastic question about processing items in your inboxes. My name is Carl Pullein and I am your host for this show. A podcast created to answer all your questions about productivity, GTD, time management, self-development and goal planning. In addition, when you install an add-in to Outlook, it automatically installs on the desktop client, and the mobile and web apps.Hello and welcome to episode 92 of the Working With Podcast. So, if you manage your tasks in Trello and install the add-in to the Gmail or Outlook client, it's automatically available when you open the corresponding mobile app, as well. Neither has the task creation tools of the web or client versions, but they both automatically carry over the add-ins to third-party apps. When it comes to mobile apps, both Gmail and Outlook work pretty much the same. Or you can send email to your third-party to-do list manager and manage them there. If you want to manage tasks on a desktop client, your best option is probably Thunderbird for Mac. Apple Mail does task management poorly compared to Gmail and Outlook. On a Mac, the picture is a bit less positive. If you already use a third-party to-do list manager, though, Thunderbird won't cut the mustard. If you can't use Outlook for some reason, Thunderbird is a good alternative. Thunderbird does have some built-in task management features, and they're not bad, but Outlook is much slicker and allows you to connect to myriad third-party apps. For Windows desktop clients, Outlook wins hands down. ![]()
