Seriously over the past few months I have been so obsessed with finding the perfect GTD/Todo System that I have become less productive. I reached a point that I was downloading the same desktop system or signing up on the same site a few times a week. It’s crazy. I scower the internet looking for anything that is GTD/Todoish and I either sign up or download it immediately. Once I’m in I give it about a 5 minute once over. In that time I look for ease of use, Firefox plugins (very important), iGoogle/Netvibes modules, SMS options, email/gmail integration, lots of Ajaxy goodness, a mass import function and on and on. Then I’m done. Most of the time I never go back or when I do it’s because I forgot that I had already seen it several time before. What’s even crazier is that I use Todoist to track the sites I sign up for so what I come of my binge I have some trail to account my lost productivity. Oh but just to keep my self on the edge of insanity I bounce between using Google Notebook, Toodledo, Vitalist and Remember The Milk for tracking my Obsession as well.

During one of my “this is the last GTD site I’ll sign up for” binges I got all jazzed up about using Backpack as my personal nerve center. I set up several different pages for Todo’s, Contacts, Reminders, Links and what not. I gave it the bold title of “My Life Organized”. Then just a few days ago I stumbled upon my Backpack site and this should come as no surprise that the site was pretty much empty. The main page with the bold title was blank. Just the title “My Life Organized” heading on a blank page. No Todos, no contacts. Just a good idea not executed.

But it’s not just GTD stuff it’s everything these days. Firefox Plugins to Blogging and Task Management. Google Desktop, Yahoo Widgets, Offline Desktop apps and Outlook plugins and GMail Greasmonkey scripts. For gods sakes I logged in to Facebook and said give me one of every thing on their apps page. I had to reset my Netvibes account because it becme so over loaded with GTDish modules. I’ve got so many Greasemonkey scripts for GMail that when ever I open GMail in a new tab Firefox comes to a screeching hault and it takes up to 2 minutes to load my inbox. Oh and if the GTD app offers GCal/iCal integration you can beet your sweet a$$ that I’ve added it to my GCal account.

Wow, I’m starting to feel a lot better now that I got that off my chest.

So if you’re going to comment please do not feel the need to recommend any Web Apps or Software unless of course it’s a really cool one and I shouldn’t miss it.
