			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I spent a good bit of my spare time this week trying to get my <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">task list</span> life back under my control.  Needless to say, when you ignore anything like that for 3-4 months, things start to get missed.  Missed is only good when someone is shooting at you.</p>
<p>The first step was deciding once again what task management tool I wanted to use.  I&#8217;m  a geek, I love tools.  <em>Bright shiny tools.</em> I had been using <a title="Thinking Rock GTD" href="http://www.trgtd.com.au/" target="_blank">Thinking Rock</a> which I liked for its cross platform capabilities.  I was still deciding whether to make my primary workstation my Macbook, or my Thinkpad from work and <a title="Thinking Rock GTD" href="http://www.trgtd.com.au/" target="_blank">Thinking Rock</a> let me move back and forth.  The problem was I had to then keep track of updates and put them in later.  With me, not so good an idea since I tend to forget to do it until too late.</p>
<p>However, my beautiful wife needed the Macbook for her nursing studies.  So I went back to something I had tried and liked, but hadn&#8217;t really committed to.  <a title="Remember the Milk" href="http://www.rememberthemilk.com/" target="_blank">Remember The Milk</a> is not strictly a GTD tool, it is a list management tool.  But with just a little work it works just fine.  More importantly it syncs with my Blackberry Curve.  Since I installed the 4.5 OS update on my Blackberry it has been much more user friendly, and the task management interface on it is simple but gets the job done.  So now I can enter tasks right away, without losing them.  Then I go back and can manage them from RTM&#8217;s web interface, and they are automatically synced back to my Blackberry.</p>
<p>Now the real fun begins.  Getting my <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">task list</span> life organized again&#8230;.</p>
