I use Gmail because it's always available and searchable. Am using GTGInbox to provide layers of visibility on the flow of ideas, people, opportunities and actions...that barrel through my work life. (I say work because I am still using another @yahoo account to segregate those issues, that stuff, into another stovepipe. That process works...because I'm easily distractable.) Layers of visibility: 1. What are the business development opportunities that I can pursue? 2. What are the relationships that I want to continually engage? 3. Who are the people who will make me successful in current business? What I want you to do (sir!) is capture the contacts that enter my world and let me provide levels of visibility on them ... more light, lesser light, etc. A ribbon of visibility that makes some easier and "brighter" to see. Yes, I could use Groups in Gmail Contacts.....but something's missing. Maybe I use the Context Label (just created a C/Bring Me $) for the emails that highlight the people-contexts that could enhance revenue. Andy…you’re the man.

Then, you could change your app name from GTDInbox to goGED (google Gets Everything Done) ;). It´d be great if GTDI integrated tightly with Google services as Calendar, Contacts and Tasks.

An integration with Google Calender for this would be very interesting! I.e., to (optionally) remind you to check your "next month" tasks at the beginning of each month... Also, I have added a label category for "People" (Ppl/) for a few of my most important contacts... Having a general function for this in GTDinbox that didn't require a label would be nice since it's getting to be a lot of labels (i.e., clutter) on some of my mails... :) A general feature would be to be able to create (sub-)categories based on gmail searches...

We’re looking towards calendar integration in the future…. but actually as a new user it would still be great – if not better – to get your input. While things are fresh in your mind, what do you hope GTDInbox will do for you? What work/life benefits do you want from it?

I cannot say what I do because I just installed it. I hope that it integrates my Google Calendars [have several personal, business, spouse] and tasks and todo's in a better fashion than Gmail alone. So far I will check to see if there are preferences as I see some differences in our Google Apps email but it does not look like the demo shots. -Charles Schoolgenius.com Church-Mart.com JoyfulMourning.com Sorry but I could only put down one of my about 30plus websites and blogs.

Coupled with the Personal Email feature, you can then split off tasks but that would still keep them with the original conversation. Unless, of course, you edited the subject line in your reply.
