However, I’ve dropped it for task management; I just have too many items on my lists, and Entourage does not do as good a job of managing dependencies between tasks as other tools. I’ve tried all the Entourage Applescripts out there, and it just seems like more trouble than it’s worth. (FWIW, I’m using Actiontastic for task management at the moment.)</p> <p>That said, I do miss the nice integration that Entourage brings to task management. Being one click away from the email that originated the task is golden!</p> Thanks Adam.

This is an AppleScript that lets you bypass the Project Wizard altogether and instantly create a project with default values.</p> <p>I have a post about it here:</p> <p>http://www.earth2adam.com/entourage-quick-projects/</p> <p>-Adam</p> Jorge – if you are making extensive use of projects in Entourage, you might want to check out Entourage Quick Projects.

I decided today that it wasn’t going to work for me (for the second time). I tried using the iApps, but I was having issues syncing kGTD, iApps, and my PDA. I’m back to Entourage. Funny how we keep going back and forth. I’m also using a HipsterPDA. I can’t make up my mind because nothing just Kicks-Ass out of the box. So much tweaking. Can’t believe there isn’t a “Be all, end all” app, considering we can send satillites to the edge of the galaxy and men to the moon. Wonder that programs THEY used ;-)</p> Hope your venture into kGTD works out well for you. I decided today that it wasn’t going to work for me (for the second time).

I feel that the sluggishness of Entourage’s Project Center is slowing me down. Let’s see how it goes with kGTD.</p> Eric: I haven’t gotten around to it— at the moment I’m giving kGTD another go, to see if I can start the new year more organized.
