Thanks in advance, and good job with kGTD.

Not that anybody’s interested, but it is kinda fun to talk about.

On Hold

… all with similarly named color labels. I’m a kinkless user and often create shortcuts within any given project within OmniOutliner Pro itself to any project support materials (txt files, folders, etc.) that I have. Thus, I have no need whatsoever for managing contexts within Finder itself – that’s what I have kinkless for, and it’s a bit more reassuring to find everything in one list-like place than scattered about my operating system.

That said, enough experimentation has led me to find that the five smart folders works perfectly to complement my kinkless set up. The smart inbox allows me a reminder of all the files floating randomly around my computer until I get a chance to file them properly; “In Progress” and “Upcoming” remind me of current projects and give me a direct link to them, while “On Hold” is for projects that I’m not attached to, but also don’t want to drop off the face of the planet until the next lazy Saturday afternoon that I just spend randomly clicking about my computer. Lastly, “Read/Review” is pretty self-explanatory, and awfully useful, I’ve found, for the completely bored moments when I don’t want to use my computer in any more constructive way.

I think there must be something wrong with your setup, as this doesn’t work at all like you described at my Mac.

Could you mail me some screenshots if I mail you my e-mail address?

Then when you open the smart folder, instead of showing you all the files in a nice clean atmosphere, it shows all the editable search criteria, which takes up room and doesn’t let me “Get things Done!”.

Anyways, THEN, I click on a file in the window and it doesn’t show me a preview screen like a normal window.

So, therefore it’s annoying and I don’t like it, and it doesn’t work well for me.

This is rendering me sooooo frustrated, as the Tag feature becomes so useless…

This week I made the move to the latest version of Mac OS X. Apple calls this version Tiger and it has quite a few new features. One that I have been playing a bit with and finding very useful is their new desktop search utility, Spotlight. Spotlight a…

Oyvind over at the brilliantdays.com blog has put up some ultra cool organizational things Mac Tiger users can do with Automator and Spotlight. This will mean absolutely nothing for PC users but for us Mac heads, it’s another reason to keep smiling….
