Getting Things Done with Google Apps and Do.com
I was chatting with @h4rrydog a couple of days ago about the best tools to collaborate “internally”, i.e.: between ourselves and with ad hoc teams of other people. Every man and his dog has their preferred workflow but I just setup one that’s so delightful I can’t help but share it.
The setup is to use a Google Apps email address (n.b.: #) with Do.com. The workflow is to use the little gadget Do.com installs into your gmail interface to turn emails into tasks. The task title is autocompleted with the email subject. There’s a small link to populate the task description with the email body and autocomplete widgets to assign the task to a person, a project and a due date.
It’s zen. Try it a couple of times. Headspace zero.
