Scott M. I have to say your use of Yojimbo as an everyday GTD tool is pretty impressive. Just the ambition to try and use it that way is impressive. I don’t really see that as the purpose of Yojimbo. (It’s really just considered an archival application.) That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be used to do other creative things. I just find that using it as a central GTD application can be difficult at best. I also don’t think very highly of the majority of project planner/GTD applications so take that into consideration.
I read and re-read your post. I find your system impressive but very confusing to me. (Which is ok because it’s YOUR system. As long as it works for you.) I’ve never been fully comfortable with the directory method of organizing information. The reason I was so drawn to Yojimbo was because it thinks the way I do. (In a much more contextual manner.) You’re definitely not alone in your hesitance to use tags. David said this weekend that humans are spacial thinkers. Which is why stuffing things into an established hierarchy makes more sense than tags. While it’s true that - some - people are spacial thinkers, there are also people who are relational, oral, experiential, and a number of other types of thinkers. Tags, tag collections, smart folders, labels, and comments all offer the ability to create multiple contexts and I really like that. That’s how Yojimbo was designed to organize information. I realize it’s not for everyone (apparently not the spacial thinkers) but they have a whole lot of options out there to suit there needs perfectly well. Carlton, You've inspired me. I'm planning a trip to the Bronx Zoo in the next few weeks. : ) Luis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <yojimbo-talk@barebones.com>.
