Interesting post. I'm not a fan of Backpack though. I use Wrike and prefer their GTD system.

I have a question. Why have some people posted that they use Google Calendar instead of the Backpack calendar. Is it because it is coordinated with their gmail? But Backpack has a “reminder’s” feature.

I do not sort any further than that. The @¨sign simply keeps all of my GTD related pages bunched together. I use Backpack for many non-GTD related things as well but those pages are simply sorted alphabetically.

II find using the tags to be much faster and way more flexible than grouping links to pages on a master page.

Patrick--Thanks, and thanks for taking time to lay out your ideas here. I figured that was the purpose, but wasn't sure. Any more elucidation of how you fine tune that? IN other words, don't you end up with a bunch of pages with the @, all lumped together at the top. Do you further sort those into groups? If so, how?

Also, i love the idea of using tags like you do. How does that compare with linking to other pages from within "master" pages?

Thanks!

The “@” makes those pages sort above others without it (alphabetically speaking).

OK, i'm sure this is obtuse of me, but what is the purpose of the @ at the beginning of some page names?

Thanks.
