Can’t get Trackbacks working right just now, so will just post this. Linked back to this article, and the ListPro List Exchange page, in a short article here:

Thanks! That worked perfectly. It’s a great template, and may be just the thing I need to kick-start my use of both ListPro and GTD … up to now I’ve been much more interested in fiddling with creating the perfect system, but was never quite satisfied. This should do the trick – thanks again.

I finally got it to copy over from my PC to my PPC. I had been using ListPro on my PPC only and it would not copy and all I would get was an error mesage and an “unresolved” error in Activesync. When I downloaded the PC based ListPro then it copied over to the PPC. I’m not sure why I needed the PC version to get it to copy a file to the PPC version, but so be it.

Mike: if it won’t sync, make sure you close it on the desktop first – ActiveSync may not be able to copy the file over if it’s in use. Also, make sure that the folder you copied it into has the same name as the name listed in your ActiveSync window for your device – it’s really easy to end up with about 1,000 different ActiveSync partnerships on your PC!

Mary Anne: Yes, it only works with the latest 4.1 version – all the files posted to our List Exchange are in 4.x format. You can back convert the file to a previous format with this tool: http://iliumsoft.com/site/lp/lp_suptk3a.htm .

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!

OK, now that I have my 10 points …

I downloaded the file, but when I tried to open it I got the following message:

File ‘GTD_template’ could not be opened.
Database version number wrong

Is this only for recent versions of ListPro? I have an older version – 3.0 I think – have never upgraded because I use it so sporadically. But I would like to try it with GTD, so if there’s something I can do, please post a solution!

Thanks

For some reason when I try to download this Getting Things Done .clf file I cannot seem to get it to copy over to my PPC. I placed it in my PC’s “Pocket PC My Documents” folder which is where the regular Lists.clf is but the DTD.clf file will not sync with my PPC.

Is this a “me” problem (must be if I’m the only one complaining about it).

Kevin, thanks for the link! GTD is very exciting and I can’t wait to bang out my perfect implementation and then write all about it. Good job with ListPro! I don’t use Pocket PC, I use moleskines, but if I ever do, Ill make sure and check out your software.

Hey Kevin – Nice post and nice template file. I’ve got a copy of GTD and am very impressed with it, feel like it can really help me in professional life and life in general. Only problem so far is that I need some sort of GTD perfect reminder system to get me to finish reading it – have been neglecting it for too long now.

Just based on reading of first 60 or so pages though, have been trying to use PI as my ‘trusted system’. Definitely like the idea of a handheld device as the core system, just not sure which app, or combination of apps, works best yet.
