00:00:00 --> 00:00:09 Big talk and a bigger need for order in my day lead us to today's exploration of another organizational method.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10 Tune in!

00:00:14 --> 00:00:22 Hello and welcome to MoMo634, the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28 MoMo634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:55 Texas may seem stereotypical with its swagger, cowboy hats and boots, love of barbecue, colorful expressions, and the like.

00:00:56 --> 00:01:03 But since moving here, I've found most of it to be true in the absolute best ways.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:11 There's a love of God, country, and Texas that's palpable, and I'm here for it all.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:21 One of those colorful expressions is Git'er Done or get whatever the task is accomplished or completed.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:37 As longtime listeners know from the many episodes on scheduling, calendaring, and time management, I'm in search of the perfect get things done -- or GTD as it's known -- system for me.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:48 Thus, I've kissed a lot of toads, and ate the frog if you get the reference from our bonus episode over the weekend, but still no prince.

00:01:49 --> 00:02:02 I've started revisiting some of the apps I dismissed out of hand previously, as sometimes there are improvements or enhancements by the developers, and sometimes it's the user's needs that have changed over time.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:16 Since I host this podcast and one other, book for another, and produce a separate one for the day job, I juggle a number of calendars and not all in the same ecosphere.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:27 Google, several calendars, Outlook, and Zoho all own a bit of real estate on my devices, so my needs are complex.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32 However, I crave simplicity and an app.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:37 I liked Chaos Control for a while, but never bothered to fully integrate it.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:49 People rave about Todoist, but, and this is just my opinion, for my needs and that based on testing it several years ago, it's not the one.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:59 I didn't initially like Microsoft To Do, but I adore Teams and use Outlook, as mentioned, so I gave it another shot.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:08 If everything I did were housed in the Microsoft world, it might be okay, but that's not the case.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:18 So I asked Copilot, a Microsoft product, for a free, simple, yet efficient GTD system.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20 Its own app,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25 To do, mentioned above, was listed, but not at the top.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:39 I had tried most of the apps it suggested, but I looked deeper at one when I saw it was an editor's choice and had a 4.9 rating out of 5 with over 26 reviews.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46 I'm glad I did.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50 So far, it's checking a lot of my boxes.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:51 Literally!

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53 So I'll keep you posted.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55 It's called TickTick.

00:03:56 --> 00:04:05 And to report back on my time-boxing trial mentioned several episodes ago, to quote the characters on In Living Color, hated it.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:15 My apologies to adherence of the method, but going into it, I said I didn't think rigidity was what I needed.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:21 I did make some pretty sheets in Canva, but right there is one of the issues.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23 I wanted an app.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:32 Ecclesiastes 3.1 says, To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:39 Our meme for today says, Time is something we have in limited supply.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41 Manage it well.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 What are your best GTD hacks?
