Active Inbox with Gmail and Google Calendar, synced with phone’s calendar and mail app. Definitely more useful if a large number of your tasks originate as emails, but its easy to log a task with a button they add to send yourself an email.
You can mark emails as “Action” or “Waiting On” (very helpful to keep track of things your’e waiting on others to get back to you for) and also set dates by which you’re supposed to take the action or by when you need to receive a response. Keeps you from cluttering your calendar with non-time-specific actions as well.
It adds a feature to log noes and subtasks on each email which falls in line with GTD’s next-action list. Allows you to easily create “Project” folders to associate emails with when they’re part of a project.
It’s designed to be a Gmail implementation of GTD and it’s very effective for me.
