GTD and Intentional Software

Recently I listened to a podcast where David Allen talked about their new software partner "Intentional Software".  They are working on a GTD Application.  This is great news for those of us who have been looking for the perfect GTD application.  As of last count David Allen said there are over 300 apps that say they support GTD.  While I have only tried a few of them, I have found that every system has its limitations.  (So far, Evernote is the best on for me.) Hopefully Intentional software can develop an all inclusive app that works perfectly with GTD.

If you go to the web site and you will see that there are 7 Application categories that we use in GTD.

Here are the applications I use for each of these categories:

  • E-mail --> Outlook and Gmail  (also, some social media like Linkedin and Facebook)
  • Calendar  --> Outlook synced to Google Calendar synced to my iOS devices
  • Address Book --> iOS contacts and Outlook contacts. (syncing is not very clean). I've also started using Evernote to scan business cards and get the information into my iOS contact list.   
  • Task/List Manger --> Evernote
  • Note Taking --> Evernote and a paper Moleskine notebook (sometimes I just need paper)  If I need a specific page of my notes in Evernote, then I use the document picture feature in the Evernote app on my iPhone
  • File Storage --> A little bit in Evernote, some on Google Drive and the rest scattered all over my various computers and network drives.  
  • Physical Content Scanning --> Evernote

If there were a way to bring all of this together on one seamless application, WOW!.
However, I'm concerned that they will not be able to fully integrate Outlook.  Some of us are stuck with Outlook at work for our e-mail and calendaring.  That will be a big nut to crack.

I'm going to keep an eye on them and see what they come up with.

Marking Scriptures in Gospel Library

The other day as I was reading my scriptures and using a few of the available colors to do some highlights when I realized that I wasn't fully utilizing the entire pallet of colors. In the Gospel Library app there are 10 colors available.  Each of these colors can be used in the underline, highlight, or text color mode.  I asked extended family what they do and one of my niece's responded with this color code: Red- doctrine Orange- clarifications or explanations of doctrine Yellow- commandments and specific instructions Purple- promised blessings and how to attain them Grey- power phrases Blue- favorites Dark blue- ones with a deeper meaning (I always attach a note with a dark blue)  Pink- examples of Gods love/charity Brown-specific for our day Green - Not used This "Come, Follow Me" color code seems to be all over Pinterest.  I'm not sure where it came from, but it is based on the 12 colors in a small box of crayons. Here is a color coding ...

Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida?

It is time for the showdown.  Which one is best: Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida?  Or is it (as was my opinion) that they are all exactly the same? I decided to do a taste test.  Six people participated.  Three were salad testers and three were burrito testers.  None of the people who participated have any food judging experience although a couple of them have competed in cooking contests and have a couple of first place finishes to their name.   Each couple went to a different restaurant and picked up a Sweet Pork Salad and an Steak Burrito to go.  We ordered each salad with black beans and their creamy green dressing (whatever they happened to call it).  The steak burritos were ordered enchilada style with black beans. Then we all met at a central location and judged each dish on the following: Value Score = Weight (oz)/Cost($) Overall Appeal (visual appeal, aroma, garnish) Recipe (Cooking, ingredient combination, too m...

D&C 20:73 - Having Been Commissioned

As I listened to the baptismal prayer recently, a thought came to me.  What does it mean to be commissioned of Jesus Christ?   "Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." (D&C 20:73).   Many years ago I received my commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air force. I knew that my commission appointed me to my rank, gave me authority to perform certain duties, and officially charged me to function in that rank.  The Oath of Office is recited upon commissioning and is administered by a higher-ranking officer who will raise his or her right hand and recites the Oath of office aloud while the officer taking the oath repeats the words.  That oath states:   “I [state your full name], having been appointed a (rank) in the United States Air Force, do solemnly swear  that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enem...
