ALL of my GTD-ing occurs in that wonderful little PDA. Simple, straight forward, focused on my agenda's and tasks, no frills. Keeps me focus and has been TREMENDOUS for me in terms of getting things done on a daily basis. A Moleskine is a trendy thing, status and supposed-hip object. You can get a similar booklet for a fraction of the cost - the Piccadilly notebooks which are just as good and so affordable that I dont care about ripping pages out of it...to get something down or done, or getting it damaged. The less gadgetry and obsessiveness over very involving computer tools like laptops and "poor-mans" "hipster pda" nonsense, the more you will get things done. And as a former PowerBook 12 user, its not a POOR mans MacBook Air, its a smart uncaring-of-what-society thinks-man's computer. But on the other hand, I cannot spend time twiddling with apps, menu's to GET THINGS DONE. After using a PowerBook G4, small great machine and an iPhone…I went back to the 10 year old Palm handheld.

I usually have my iPhone, MacBook Air, and a pocket moleskine (used exclusively for capture) on my travels. Following Macworld, I've added a Livescribe pen and Livescribe moleskine which I find excellent for meetings and organizing thoughts. <abbr><em><abbr><em>David Sparkss last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Macsparky/~3/532731605/" rel="nofollow">OmniFocus Reviewed</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> John,
