I set the one-click category to go to Action by default, which makes it super easy. The new Outlook lets you establish categories, so I’ve created an Action category and a Waiting For category.

Thnx. I’ll try this, sounds simpler than the other outlook gtd implementations I’ve come across – with macros and all out customization. Thnx.

You can write in your own flag to message as the default ones are mostly for the receiver of emails. Then I list the "flag to" field on my taskpad/to-do bar as well in the Task list for easy reference. I prefer using the “Flag To” option to indicate the Next Action.

I have looked for them at our local libraries and at used book stores, but I have come up empty. I'm not usually one for buying new books, especially when the gist of the content is available online for free. The classic Allen book is "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280/sr=8-1/qid=1161137303/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-9413542-2887163?ie=UTF8" rel="nofollow">Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity</a>". If you want to learn more about it in general, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gtd" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia article</a> is helpful, as well as lots of blogs and sites on the subject.

I feel I have missed something. I will definitely pick up a David Allen book. Which one would you recommend? It’s the first time in less than a week that I see the GTD methodology talked about.
