GTD for Windows with Bonsai
From 43FoldersWiki
I really like Kinkless GTD, but I'm not able to move from Windows to the Mac just yet. Here's the approximation I came up with for outliner based GTD on Windows.
- Application 1: Bonsai $35
- Application 2: AutoHotkey free

[edit] Bonsai
- I enter projects, sub-projects, and tasks into the outline hierarchically.
- I use the Category column to capture contexts (without the @).
- I use the Priority field to indicate whether a task is ready to be worked (i.e. a Next Action).
- I display the Creation Date so as to prevent myself from letting tasks go stale.
- I set up filters with names to match the Category/Context column. Filtering on Category = Home will display items with Category = Home AND priority non-null.
[edit] AutoHotkey
(This is a major cool app -- if you're living with Windows.) I define the following hotkeys (for Bonsai only):
- right-alt + x
* x is the first letter of the context name * sets the context on the item
- right-ctrl + 0
* clears the priority field * Note: Bonsai has ctrl-1 as a built-in to set priority to 1.

[edit] Remarks
Not as elegant as OO, by a long shot.
Version 4 has a new built in Next Action Filter.
