Which GTD apps provide cloud syncing, android device access, and SSL? Why? Answers should be explanatory. As my Advanced English teacher used to say: "Reasons, details, and examples." |

Is there data on the effectiveness on mind-mapping? I would second @DavidAntaramian: Tony Buzan's book The Mind Map Book is a good resource for studies and so on, though it might be considered biased. |

Techniques for mind dump (including mind sweeps/trigger lists) Speaking in GTD terms, it sounds like you are not referring to universal capture (writing everything down immediately on the spot when you think of it) but rather the weekly review (or "emptying of the mind"). |

In GTD how do I track projects with subprojects? I use goals for things like "Learn French" or "Write book" - that is, multi-year goals. There are sub-tasks available, but that's a Toodledo Pro feature. |

Does listening to music help or hurt productivity? There are programs to generate white or pink noise for the Mac (Noisy or White Noise) and Linux (whitenoise) and Windows (White Noise Sleep System). There's even a web-based application called SimplyNoise. |

Which GTD apps provide cloud syncing, android device access, and SSL? The important thing is to follow through with the GTD process; perhaps you are focusing too much on the application? (That's okay, happens to the rest of us too!) It's much too easy to focus on finding the perfect app instead of doing things. Find something that has just about everything you want then make it work. Also go with something that just feels natural and comes easily - might not be digital at all. |
