GTD in Pharo

[seandenigris]

This is a reply I posted on the Pharo Users ML about TPP:

TheProjectProject is the GTD component of my Dynabook project. Behind it is about 20 years of work incorporating ideas from countless productivity disciplines - GTD, Steven Covey, Landmark Education’s Mission Control spin off, etc…

Motivation:

Even “good” GTD apps miss the fundamental thing that virtually all apps miss - stovepiping a sliver of one’s mental model into an app is already a losing proposition. Every significant object needs to be able to relate to every other one - financial transactions to personal projects to contacts in one’s address book, to sources in one’s library.

Personal productivity is a highly personal endeavor, so no off the shelf closed box software can ever really scratch the itch. Basing it on a live, dynamic, turtles-all-the-way-down system like Pharo is a must

Disclaimer: even after 20 years, I’m still not clear on some things, so it is actively developed and even the core ideas are still evolving as I continuously drive it via real world usage.

Everything is MIT and I’m happy to discuss and answer any questions. It is currently based on GToolkit (itself based on Pharo). There’s no reason the core model couldn’t run on plain Pharo without GT, but it’s been a long time (several years) since I’ve put any love into Morphic UI components.
