Integration with Springpad and/or Google Docs

[Jasper Sauer]

Hi Everybody,

I was just wondering, do you guys share the same feeling as I
experience trying to implement GTD?

Here's my problem: GQueues is absolutely great when is comes to tasks,
but not that strong in managing your reference material. A tool like
Springpad (or Evernote) is great for reference material, but its task
manager is not that good and flexible as it would like it to be.

At the moment I'm constantly doubting, first I'm focussing on GQueues
and get frustrated because it lacks features to manage reference
material, so I change my focus and try to do everything in Springpad,
and there I get frustrated by the bad task manager.

I know that Springpad has recently launched its API, I know Google
Docs has one, so I see possibilities to make a giant leap forward for
all us GTD-fanatics.

What do you think? And of course, Cameron, what do you think?

Kind regards,

Jasper

I personally prefer a separate good task manager and a separate information management/reference application, than something that tries to do everything and ends up being simply mediocre. You can find long discussions at http://www.outlinersoftware.com on this issue.

In this regard, I find that GQueues' ability to enter URLs in the notes field (as well as create a task from an email and maintain the link to that email) is more than enough to reference the information needed for a task. For example, to link to a Google Docs file, all you need is its URL.

Most of all, GQueues' unlimited subtask level ability means that any item I create is always in context within the greater project view.

I have seen tighter integrations, e.g. Nozbe's with Evernote, but I am not sure that they are as useful in practice.

Springpad looks great but the organisation isn't very intuitive or quick. I use it at a push because the android app is much better than Evernote's but it's strictly used for reference material only. I did have a look at the Nozbe integration of Evernote, but accessing the information was so slow it's much easier to use them separately in my view.

I'm definitely looking to add Google Docs integration down the road.  -Cameron

This sounds like an exciting feature, can one potentially drag and drop a link to a task?
