Communication Segmentation with the iPhone

Started by Blake Samic · 10 months ago

Everyday we’re getting slammed with information from every angle, so I’m always looking for better, more efficient ways to make sense of it all. Last week I found myself deleting dozens of email alerts and notifications from Facebook, Twitter, and various banks.Â ... Continue reading »

I like the idea, Blake. I tend to have a different e-mail box for each of my different "hats" that I wear - a personal box (where facebook/twitter/other messages come to), a Bucketworks box, a First Stage box, a box for my home business, and a DePaul box. Having separate inboxes tends to help me focus in on one particular aspect of my life when I'm trying to work on stuff - I don't look at my Bucketworks box when I'm trying to focus on First Stage stuff, for example.

I'm also trying to use Toodledo (www.toodledo.com) as a centralized location for all to-do items. It's great because other users can assign me tasks, too.

Hey Patrick. I've been using SimpleGTD.com for to-do lists for about a year now. I'll check out Toodledo, though. Thanks for the tip!

Update...I switched to Toodledo because it integrates well with the Todo iPhone app from Appigo. Let's see if it actually helps me GTD :-)

Blake - Awesome post! This is the kind of personal how to that more bloggers should move towards. Lifehacker just says what to do without giving personal examples and other bloggers just tell without showing. Solid combo and phenom post. I want to do this...but I need an iPhone!

Great idea! I have this same communication segmentation problem, and this will be the perfect solution using my iphone.

In regards to your to-do lists, why bother using another app or online to-do solution. If you have your iphone on you at all times, why not use the existing notes feature to put all of your to-do lists, shopping lists, etc? One less thing to take up time...just a suggestion. Few drawbacks include 1.) task due dates/priority 2.) there is no history of tasks completed. But rarely do i look back, wanting to know everything i've ever done on my to-do list.
