I am in organizational hell
I need help! I try to subscribe to the GTD philosophy, but I kind of want an electronic way to manage my actual job function. I am involved in customer support as well as a little sales so sometimes I am waiting for the phone to ring but often I have next actions etc. Is there software out there that lets me easily manage a project. I want something that historical, not just planning. I am looking for something that will let me take simple notes under a given project, and then from those notes i want to be able to create tasks and subtasks. So when I go to a particular project I can see all the steps I have taken, all the steps i have yet to take and notes that are important chronologically and project-wise but not actual tasks? The way I accomplish this now is a horrible combination of using 30boxes.com for tasks that require scheduling, freemind for tracking actions i have taken, and just the simple outlook task manager for freeform task lists.... but getting them coordinated is so manual and tedious that I end up not doing it and then missing steps and milestones.
Beyond this I have now thrown a PDA phone into the mix and started to abandon my hPDA.... I am really am organizationally screwed at the moment!
Any thoughts???

Well,
you are on your way with 30boxes!
I use 30boxes for scheduled events and use backpackit for projects and next action, waiting for, some day lists. I also mirror that in email.
We plan to add taggable todo objects in 30boxes in the near future

to do lists are now available at 30b
