  • Most importantly, it finally got me asking the question: "What is the outcome of this thought/action/project?" That's been the single biggest factor in my ability to refocus my GTD efforts.
  • It's literally changed my life - I'm getting things done with less stress. Who woulda guessed? The deciding factor for me was that this app guides you through the GTD process.
  • As a newb to GTD, I found this really valuable - it makes me think if there needs to be a project, for example, and then creates one with just one click of a checkbox. This should be the download of the YEAR!
  • Along with Neil Fiore's Now Habit (how to stop procrastination).
  • lacking was a way to put in a tickler for events that were not scheduled but I needed to follow up with at a later date.
  • My MonkeyGTD that while nice, lacks the strengths of the project planning that Thinking Rock possesses.
  • I've used a dozen different GTD tools, but TR is the closest to a pure implementation of what is in the books.
    > It's stronger project model is perfect for the way I work. I can't say enough good things about it.


  • I find ThinkingRock's structure to be very comfortable. However, like every other java app I've come across, I find it sluggish and completely unusable when trying swiftly click back and forth between areas to quickly record and organize my thoughts.



    Even Tracks on my home server running with god-awful Ruby and FastCGI runs ten times better.



    Would love to see ThinkingRock's features in Tracks..

  • So far I really like this but the pocketmod output format was icing on the cake. I finally learned how to fold one of those things. I actually have all of my actions and projects in thinking rock as of today. And they're in my pocket thanks to pocketmod.


  • You mentioned that you were looking for a way to put in a tickler for events that were not scheduled but you needed to follow up with at a later date.



    You can delegate to "pending" or "check later" or whatever, and then put in a followup date. Kind of a hack but it works pretty well.



    Version 2.0 should be in beta soon with a lot of new features, so you might want to check back in a while for something official.

  • FYI, version 2.0 is purportedly due out sooner rather than later, so you might want to hold off. Then again, it was originally slated to be here in February, and there's still no sign of it. When it is released, it will be (say it with me) a public beta.

  • I took Thinking Rock for a spin a couple of weeks back and the only thing that I found it was lacking was a way to put in a tickler for events that were not scheduled but I needed to follow up with at a later date. If while kicking the tires, someone finds that ability, please point it out, because I have adjusted to using the My MonkeyGTD that while nice, lacks the strengths of the project planning that Thinking Rock possesses.
  • I love me some Tracks and considered Thinking Rock at one time but disregarded it due to lack of mobility...however, it looks like you can install it on a USB drive...so I may have to try it out after all.
