:?: Has anyone used the Outlook Plug-In by NetCentrics for the GTD methodology from David Allen's book? There is a 30-day trial, but I do not want to be bombarded by pop-ups, etc. if I choose to not purchase it at end of trial.

I used it for a couple of years, before I moved to a more substatively paper-based system; I had it very well integrated with my Blackberry as well. It won't bug you at the end of the trial - remember that you're supposed to uninstall it if you choose not to go beyond the trial as well, though.

There's another thread here where one of the forum users (Cedric) makes available his extensive work on an Outlook system.

When you ask nicely, he emails it to you. It's a nice PDF.

I've used it, decided to give it up, but then realized I need it to better deal with my email. It has some nice features to help you deal with the onslaught of email effectively - even if you don't use Outlook Tasks for managing your to do list.

Another option to check out is a tool called Jello Dashboard:

It does allow you to take the built-in tasks and put them into Projects and in Context.

There are also a lot of good ideas in the book "Total Workday Control":
