hi there,

if you use the GTM Method with RTM, want to ask you a question:
is there a very quick way without mouse (only keyboard) to add tasks to RTM?

under mac os i use quicksilver. This is very quick and adds tasks directly to my inbox in RTM... is there any posibility to make something similar under vista ( ihate vista, but i have to use it at work...)


thank you

Probably the easiest way is going to be using a service that interacts with RTM from your computer. There is a list of services that may give you ideas.

Most specific to your existing setup on your Mac would be to use Launchy. (In general, Launchy is very similar to Quicksilver, so you may enjoy using it on Vista.)

Also, there's a Vista Sidebar gadget that should work pretty well for Vista. Or, if you use Twitter, you can set up rtm to add tasks for you. And there's always email, which is probably the most precise way to add a task quickly.

A lot of it is finding which service works best for you. Let me know if you need any more specifics.

You're right about needing a way to add tasks quickly; that's an important step for GTD; keep it simple, make it easy for yourself. :)

Hope this helps!
