The Weekly Review ISN'T a RAM Dump

I have a huge psychic blockage when it comes to the weekly review. I can't stand to think about it because so many times, when I think of doing one, I think it has to be a full RAM dump - mostly because it has been so long since I've done a WR.

I just did, basically, a weekly review. It took me 10 minutes. Was it comprehensive? No. Did I cover everything? No. Did I get some junk off my lists? Yes, and it feels great. I've done a partial. When I get a few minutes this afternoon, I will go through my @Action e-mail folder and categorize all of those - there's only about 100. That will make my life a lot more manageable.

NextAction! for Blackberry 2.0 - The Falcon

Hello, everyone,

I've recently downloaded the new version of NextAction for Blackberry 2.0, called the Falcon. Apparently, it has taken off - who knew. This version is packed with a bunch of new features that make it a lot more user friendly than the previous version. The new features include:

• Enhanced native support for new BlackBerry® models
• Performance: Significant performance boost; can handle thousands of tasks
• Reliability: Passed the longest beta test we ever made; highly stable; ensures data consistency
• Desktop compatibility: Contexts and projects synchronize to all desktop applications; compatible with programs like Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, Act!, Novell Groupwise, iCal, Entourage, etc.
• On-Device Compatiblity: Coexists with other task applications; no interference; works seamless with internal task application
• Notes: Full task note support
• Enhanced usability: Easier, more intuitive and faster usage; improved productivity
• Project support: Projects (identified by a “p:” prefix) are handled according to GTD
• Localization: Available in the following languages: English, German and Chinese
• Added user requests: Hide completed tasks; full project support; several minor bugs (thanks a lot to you!) removed
  

I bolded my biggest beef with the old version - if you had a call to make and had the phone number in an e-mail attached as a note (as an example) you could see it - but you couldn't attach notes within the application.

Like most people, I used this for scanning of my lists - not for actual capture. However, a great portable tool. Well recommended.

There is an interesting discussion about the program at the Davidco forums. Enjoy!
