Slipstreaming and GTD

intr.v. slip·streamed, slip·stream·ing, slip·streams

To drive or cycle in the slipstream of a vehicle ahead.

I'm doing a bit of slipstreaming myself as I go through my homemade GTD refresher course. I've looked through some of my old bookmarks of Getting Things Done articles, and rediscovered some gems about the joys and challenges of GTD. In case you are on the same sort of quest, I thought I'd share a few:

• Here is a great "one year review" on 43 Folders that I love now even more than when I found it
• Here is part 2 of that same review, in which he shares things about GTD he wishes he was better at - and I share a lot of the stuff on this list
• A broad and deep collection of useful and thought-provoking things at Law4PDA
• And a wonderful collection from the secret site of Bill Kratz on how to do GTD stuff with Outlook. Complete with some good code snippets.
  • Anyone know what happened to Bill Kratz? He went dark, and the home page of this site has been saying "Goodbye" for about a year now. I hope he's OK.

Anyway, these are a few of the sorts of links that have kept me moving on the "just one more click before I go to bed" routine for the past couple of hours. Hope you get something out of them. And when you've used these links up, if you want more good stuff, click around on my link list over there on the right. Some smart folks in there.

the domain www.improvedoutlook.com (Bill Kratz's domain that pointed at the comcast site) now gets a "for sale" page. If you google Bill Kratz at least one of the entries announces a death, but I have no way of knowing if this is the Bill Kratz of GtD in Outlook. There seem to be at least four different Bill Kratzes.

Thanks, Keith - I've gotten multiple "Bill's OK" emails from people, but don't know where to find him. Thank goodness the "hidden link" I have above still works. I've also used Teleport Pro to bring down a local copy of his site for my own reference. Wouldn't it be great if he kicked things up again...

Hi Dwayne,

and congrats for your blog! I've started to implement Bill's method and have some challanges. I wonder if you can help with some suggestions... Thanking in advance! Danny
