[i] People working primarily with knowledge work with a fairly inflexible constant called time. To be able to plan their work within one environment allows for efficiencies of time and effort that wouldn’t otherwise be there. Getting Things Done methodology can be applied well to both ADM and IH—better than perhaps to any other information program on the market.[/i]

One may need a calendar to live, but you don’t need it in your knowledgede manager unless there’s a more complex relationship between time and work than the existence of deadlines. You need an integrated calendar if you have a lot of appointments (business pim) or the significance of information changes vastly as a function of time (professional pim).

I wonder, Daly, why you don’t use Zoot! It seems to be the current gold standard for people who have to organize masses of information. Have you made a comparison of the organizing process of Zoot! and ADM?
