Entourage 2004. It was built as if it had GTD in mind.

I think of those as classes rather than specific tools. I really on all
kinds of alarms and paper in many different contexts.

1. paper (index cards, a4, notebooks, moleksines, whatever...)
2. pencil & pen
3. rubber (eraser)
4. Vim - one big list approach
5. bin (trash can)
6. egg timer (your two minutes is up!)
7. procmail - pre filter my mail
8. cron - regular backups, emails (such as email my projectNextAction
list each morning), email reminders such as when to collect child on
certain days.
9. thunderbird - labels, saved search folders for latest projects /
most important clients
10. Gmail (for autoforwarded email as backup) - makes me less stressed
about backups; therefore is GTD.
