A New Online GTD Application: Nozbe

The new online GTD application Nozbe looks simple and effective.

Nozbe is another new contender in the online GTD (Getting Things Done) application race, and it starts off by actually being usable! This one I will test. Of course, it’s in beta and therefore lacking stuff I’d like, but the stuff it does it actually does now instead of sometime soon.

What is 'GTD'?

GTD stands for "Getting Things Done", and is a "work-life management system" and a book by David Allen.

Tracks is a free GTD web app written in Ruby on Rails.

What I like about Nozbe is the fine balance between manual and automatic. I think if you want software to figure out the order in which you want to — or have to — do things, they immediately become bloated and unusable.

I think, after checking out a lot of different options, that what I would want from an online application is the same functionality and speed as I’d get from pen and paper, but with the benefit of being able to move stuff around and easily seeing stuff either as projects or contexts.

    Thanks for your blog post!

    I guess you’ll be thrilled to know that Nozbe just got better:

    - you can add contexts, re-arrange them and even assign cool icons to them

    - you can share projects with other folks and share GTD with them

    Keep up the great work!
