Some very good hints in here. I think the part where I differ most is that I'm a huge proponent of OmniFocus. It's quite a complex piece of software, but it is also very well designed, so you can put together a lot of different workflows and be mostly keyboard driven.

Being able to cross-reference projects/contexts with easy filters for next action or ticklers is invaluable. Repeating events and automatic review scheduling are the icing on the cake. I believe in GTD enough that I would still do it in pure paper format if I needed to, but OmniFocus can remove most of the overhead which makes it all the more attractive.

It's a good enough program that I'm contemplating switching from Android to iPhone just to have it on my mobile.



Agreed, they put a lot of thought into small conveniences that most other apps ignore. It's nice to have it grab e-mails as task items, and to just type "taskname<tab>1w<tab>1m" to create a task that won't be addressed for a week, but is due in a month.
