Gtd Setup: how to manage calendars

Productivity Community — Posted: Feb. 15, 2008

Hi! :)

I would like to ask you something about your Gtd System.
Mine is pretty fine, i'm using this setup since last year and it works.

I take notes on the way with my Moleskine or with my Nokia N95 voice recorder.

For big projects i use a Mac software called Things which is really good (but doesnt have iCal integration).

When im working on Windows machines i use simple txt To-Do files, because i still cant find a good software.

The problem i still have for my setup in the calendar.
I use a Moleskine Agenda to take notes of things, then i sync it all with Google Calendar.
I guess this is what i still have to do better.
I dont know, but i still think this way to manage calendars is not the best.

How do you solve the problem? How do you manage your meetings in your Gtd Setup?

It's really good, i like it!
No problems at the moment, hope it goes on like that cos it's really a good smartphone!

yes, that's the only problem i think, no touch screen and the keyboard also... i tried it at the store today, really small keyboard, of course not a qwerty one...

Nokia N95 8 gb

Technology Community — Posted: Dec. 28, 2007  ...   Last By: Ivy @ 9 months ago

I'd like to buy this phone, so, as i always do when i have to buy something ;), i ask 9rulers...
What do you think about this phone?
At the beginning i wanted a Htc TyTn II but it is way too expensive for me, so i switched to the Nokia N95 8 gb.

It is great, good looking, built-in Gps, wi-fi connection, fm radio, mp3 player, amazing camera, 8 gb of space for music, videos and stuff, and in Italy it costs 300 € less than the Htc TyTn II.
Totally dofferent operating system, symbian vs windows mobile, no touch screen, no qwerty keyboard...

Does anyone have suggestions?
Is this phone a good alternative to the amazing but unreachable Htc TyTn II?
Thanks :D

Thanks for the image

Flash on Italian political situation

Politics Community — Posted: Oct. 14, 2007

In Italy today is a very important day.
A new party will see the light today officially, and people who want to is going to vote for the leader of this party, the democratic party.

We already know who is going to win probably, and we are very happy today, because we live in a difficult situation, or government is in the middle of a crisis, so we really hope this party is going to change things, especially for us, young people.

» How to commit at doing sports...  ...  Last Reply: 10 months ago by costanzo.

Amazing suggestions guys, thank you all.

Now i've started planning my day considering every day an hour dedicated to exercise.
I'm lucky because i can "run" at home also, so i don't have to care for weather conditions.
You really made me realize that the schedule was a problem, it was hard to find time not just because i wanted to procrastinate, but because my schedule wasn't really made by an athlete, or better, by someone really wanting to do sports.
Now i guess it is. For sure I have to give up on other thing, days only have 24 hours, but this is good for me, I'm sure.

Next thing you helped me to understamd is how much running can be "mind-helpful", i don't know ifthat's correct in english...
I mean, i chose running because of that, because i think it's a complete sport, and because i also think it can be relaxing...

The first theme is amazing, i chose that one.

Things i don't know how to do (comparing the theme to the theme page here:
1) on the sidebar it says there's an accordion script. It's not working on firefox and also ie;
2) how to add the add to technorati and add to delicious on the sidebar top;
3) add the little bar to bookmark posts on delicious, etc.;
4) how to add the search field.

Thank you very much!

Wordpress Theme to chose...

Design Community — Posted: Oct. 10, 2007  ...   Last By: Ivy @ 1 year ago

I'd like to change my wordpress theme, at the moment i have a theme called "nobus", you can see it here.

I added things, like the red strip for birmania, the last.fm widget, etc., and now, depending on screen resolution, it doesn't appear the right way.

I'd like to change it as i said, but i can't find something that really fits those requirements:
- easy to modify also for people not really into creating wordpress themes;
- widgets: something for flickr, maybe last.fm, i'd like anobii for instance;
- post: shows the effective lenght, not just a part of it;
- two columns sided vertically or also orizontally.

Suggestions?
Thanks :)

» How to commit at doing sports...  ...  Last Reply: 10 months ago by costanzo.

For sure the spreadsheet is a way to procrastinate.. That's what i find really hard to do...
This thing is really something i can't commit to.

It's for sure because i know at the beginning it would be very very hard, i'm starting with something called "hard walking", which is a sort of first step for a first approace to running, and i know it will be hard as much as i know i have to do it for myself, i know it's going to be great...

I thought about the Nike+iPod thing, but i can't buy that because i'm going to buy an ipod touch this month or at christmas, and i think it works only with the nano.

For sure among all sports "available" running is the one i really like i think, i would never go to a gym, or doing some other sports...

This evening for sure i will start, i'll let you know if i can go for a week at least :P

How to commit at doing sports...

Sports Community — Posted: Oct. 8, 2007  ...   Last By: costanzo @ 10 months ago

I want to start doing a bit of sports, following a program i found to start running...

I really can't convince myself to start, or better, to be constant...
I do commit do other things, other habits, but this is really difficult for me: my favourite excuse is that i only have time in the evening and i'm tired or have other things to do...
I'd also like to create an .xls model to take note of my results (maybe this could help to commit more seriously).

Suggestions?

» Who wants a new iPod?  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Ivy.

Prices are a problem...
iPod Classic, 80 gb, 249 € or $
iPod Touch, 8 gb, i said 8, 299 € or $

That isn't correct I think :)

As someone said it's better to preferer a touch if your forst choise was a Nano, in my case it was.
But if you need storage, it's better to give up the new extra beautiful and cool interface for an iPod Classic...

» iPod Touch 8gb vs iPod Nano 8gb  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Ivy.

Doubt: I was on the store online, to see if estimated time for delivery still was 7-10 days, and then i saw suggested things for people who bought iPod Touch: there was the radio remote!

They say you can't use this extra with ipod touch so.. Is it true?

» iPod Touch 8gb vs iPod Nano 8gb  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Ivy.

What makes me really happy about the touch is the screen.
I use a lot of podcasts, larger part of them are video podcasts, and i think the nano, but also the classic screen would be a lot more different ;)

If i'll take the touch, for sure i'll have to make a selection of music to add on it, 'cause of the storage, and that's why i think i'm going to wait and maybe buy the 16 gb.
That's the last dounbt I have: is it worth to spend a 100 € for more 8 gb?

» iPod Touch 8gb vs iPod Nano 8gb  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Ivy.

The storage is for sure a problem...
But I think 8 gb could be enough for me.

Before I had a 20 gb, iPod 1st generation, and it was too much for me, so buying an 80 gb iPod classic it's too much.

» iPod Touch 8gb vs iPod Nano 8gb  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Ivy.

I quite decided for the Touch, even though i'm really disappointed i can't take notes with it.
I'm going to buy the 8 gb because i think 100 € for 8 gb more is too much of a difference.

@steffanwilliams : You quite convinced me!
Have you "tested" the touch with different wireless access points?
I have one at home (a Digicom Office Wave C) and for example my Nintendo Ds is not supported.

Estimated delivery in Italy for iPod Touch is 7-10 days (8gb version)

@LorriM & auburn: I agree with you guys, you can do lists, but sometimes it happens (to me) that lists aren't enough.

The spreadsheet I put together (of course a super beta) is something that comes before the daily list: I have an overview of all activities and a table that helps me with my daily list, because it tells me and reminds me of all the activities I have to do and when I can do them.

Hope you would like to give suggestions.
To download the spreadsheeet click here (Excel 2007)

To talk and discuss about it in a more specific way I also have a wiki.

The spreadsheet for "health" is still a work in progress.
Thanks :)

I have both a Windows and a Mac computer.

i know, it's really hard to choose!!!

@azcazandco: Really nice post!
@devin: great work with your xls!

I agree with you guys, it's all about listing and prioritize.
That could seem bad, but i think we could turn this need of putting everything into tables into something good, a real way of doing everything we want and need to.

I'm working on the spreadsheet, i'll let you know :)

I use them at work, where i have to use outlook to manage my emails, and i found them absolutely usefull!!

I don't use filters in gmail, because having to apply labels helps me not to leav emessages archived without reading them for a long time.
I have to read them as soon as possibile so i can archive them.

Taking care of myself

That's my new purpose, what i need to do: take care more of my body, my mind, and managing in a better way my personal time.

I'm preparing a model, i was thinking about a google spreadsheet.

Got suggestions?

I was thinking about the activities i want to do during my week, and i'd like to create two tables.

The first dedicated to "mental" activities, reading, also watching movies, looking at web sites, studing a new foreign language, going to new places, dedicate more time to friends and family, and so on.

The second dedicated to food and exercise.
What i should eat and when and how i should exercise.

Meditation (thinking of positive effects of efforts made)

Rewards (for instance, i have my coffee ritual in the morning, a thing i really love to do, that motivates me to wake up early)

Information (to be informed about what you have to do helps you focus and most of all helps you get more on more interested, wanting to know always a bit more, and doing more)

iPod Touch 8gb vs iPod Nano 8gb

Apple Community — Posted: Oct. 1, 2007  ...   Last By: Ivy @ 1 year ago

I love the Nano because i can add the radio extra, but i love the touch because of it's great screen, and graphics, and wi-fi...

Some questions..
Can i watch .avi videos on both models?

What would you suggest?
I'd like to buy it next week but i really can't decide!

» iPod Touch  ...  Last Reply: 1 year ago by Ivy.

The bad thing about iPod Touch is the memory, max 16 gb, I'd love to have more...

I like the new Touch, but i would buy a new Nano i guess, because i can add the radio with 49 € more, and i think an mp3 player without a radio it's not a good idea anymore... And i can put photos and videos on the nano too with new bigger screen, i like it.
