My big mission this summer is to learn how to adopt David Allen’s Getting Things Done method into my way of handling email. Thunderbird (with the Lightning plugin) has all the tools you need to GTD quickly and easily.

Well, I have been at my new job for 3 weeks now and my GTD implementation seems to be holding up quite well – at least in terms of my email anyway!
As I have mentioned before the company I work for uses Thunderbird as its main email system (although Outlook Express and Entourage are available for those that prefer them). To begin with it was a bit odd having to tell half the office how to spell my surname – a centrally stored address book is certainly a big advantage that Microsoft Outlook has over other systems. However I’m finding the functionality of Thunderbird brilliant in my GTD habits.
