My problem with is may lie in the fact that I don't properly understand the GTD process. As I said, I'm still reading through the book but here is a simple use-case scenario of what I'm talking about:
I realize that I need to buy more milk as I'm out so I put that in my MLO inbox. I know I need to do it this week but I don't know when at the moment so I enter it in MLO. When I get home and I'm doing my daily review, I see the 'Purchase milk" task and look at my calendar. I notice that it's something I can do in the morning since nothing scheduled until 1pm. What do I do? Do I enter "Buy milk" in my calendar for a specific time? If so, isn't that double entry? What do I do with the task in MLO? If the hard-dated task is part of a project that I did have to schedule, I would have to enter the task in my calendar. After it was done, do I check it off in MLO? I guess I don't like the double-entry aspect of anything that I would need to date on my calendar which is why I wish MLO would 2-way sync with Google Calendar or Outlook. Is this the proper way though that GTD would be worked out between a calendar and a task manager?
