So far, I’ve been using iCal for that, for a few years now. I’m in front of a Mac all day and most of the night, day job and more, so I use iCal to remind me of stuff, almost anything, and MobileMe to sync.

I gotta check out this RTM thing. Good question. Glad you asked.

I would recommend checking out http://www.Gtdagenda.com for an online GTD manager.

I love to make lists in excel, however it gets out of hand often. I just keep adding more. Im definitely going to check out the different tools you suggested. Thanks!

I just bought myself OmniFocus from the Omnigroup (http://www.omigroup.com). I’m using it in a business context to keep track of hundreds of leads, small projects and recurring tasks, but it’s actually targeted at personal and home use (and very clean and simple).

The reason I like this tool so much is that it perfectly suits the typical Macintosh user’s taste and needs ;-)

Thanks for all the suggestions. I’m trying them all out… how’s that for GTD?

I just switched from plain paper to Remember The Milk and I’m pretty happy about it. RTM syncs with nearly everything and is available through 1000 ways (desktop, every calender software, web, twitter, mail, sms, iPhone, mobile version …). The Tags and Smart Lists are extremely powerful. You may need some time to find the best flow but i think it is worth it.

But Things may be a good choice, too, only the sync part would bug me …

I love OmniFocus both on my Mac and iPhone. I have tried others but always seem to fall back on OmniFocus. If you do not already, be sure to check out my GTD blog at http://www.didigetthingsdone.com. Thanks!

I prefer “ToDo” by Appigo for th iPhone: http://www.appigo.com/
There is also a little program called Appigo Sync (for free) to sync your todos with the iCal ToDo list.
Things also looked nice but I didn’t lik it so much when using it…

I really am liking MonkeyGTD (http://monkeygtd.tiddlyspot.com/#MonkeyGTD) based upon a local Wiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com/). I love the layout and being able to partition my projects.

I used to try Things and love it but I didn’t sync it to anything.
I stop using Things because what I’m doing now isn’t that complex, no need to be organized that much, so I switched back to use normal to-do list.
Anyway, if my work become more complex, Things will be my first choice absolutely.
