Use 37 Signals Backpack to manage GTD (Getting Things Done)

David Allen's life-changing Getting Things Done program is approaching an Internet cult. We practitioners talk about "David" like we know him (kind of the way we do about "Seth"), we devote hours to refining our GTD technique, and we grab others by the elbow to try to explain how very, very cool this is.

This lens will not do that. I assume you've already been assimilated. Instead, this lens will talk about how to use the 37 Signals Web-based service Backpack to create a seamless, easy-to-use GTD implementation that will follow you anywhere you have an Internet connection.

What's Backpack?

To quote from their Web site, Backpack is a simple Web-based service that allows you to make pages with to-do lists, notes, files, and images. Backpack also features a Calendar and Reminders that can be sent via email or to your cell phone at predefined times."

To put it another way, Backpack is a deceptively simple set of tools that can be combined to produce a true blackbelt GTD implementation for hardly any money and in hardly any time.

The book(s) that started it all

On the off chance that you got here thinking it was a lens about more efficient ways to go hiking, let me encourage you to get David Allen's books.

Imagine being used to walking twelve miles each way to work and then getting a car. That's GTD.

David Allen has written two books on GTD. Which one's your favorite?
