Message Notes for Next actions in Thunderbird
Mozilla Update :: Extensions — More Info:Message Notes – User Comments
Ah!! Message Notes does work with Thunderbird 1.5 It is a great thing to have as it enable me to add the Next Action GTD style. I like the idea of an Icon that others mention in this forum, that would help me know which emails have the NA!
How to make it work for 1.5
by CyberAnth, Tuesday, January 17 2006
–Download the .xpi file. –Change the .xpi extension to .zip and unzip it. (NOTE: an .xpi is basically a .zip file!). There will be a chrome folder and one file called install.rdf. –Open install.rdf in Notepad and make the change that the poster below says. –Make a zip file of the chrome folder and the install.rdf file you just edited, and then change the extension to .xpi –Install using the Extensions interface in Thunderbird. –You are done.
Thanks! to all who contributed to this and for the edit tip!!
Blogging Kate’s Blog here!
What would I write about? A lot of the psychological stuff that I learn about horses and people through being around Kate! amd the Horse Treks, not so much from direct horse contact. That human-horse relationship, just like the marriage relationship is all about healing the psyche. Just like in the couple relationship *safety* is of the essence. Until we are really assured otherwise “the other” is an enemy!
So… more on the KTHT Blog.
Email Like Water
I think I am a bit of a Ninja at email and many of the things here:Recap: Becoming an Email Ninja | 43 FoldersSound ok, but there is an underlying idea that email = waste of time.
Wrong.
Some email is a waste of time and some is valuable.
The art is to sort it, not postpone it, avoid it or to have email free hours or days.
I use Thunderbird and use many of the features: filters, flags, and customised Labels and "Search folders". I used to have an extension called "Message Notes" but it does not work with Thunderbird 1.5. Still hoping looking for an equivalent. The sorting happens vertically into folders and what I think of as "horozontally" by multiple tags in a variety of ways.
I apply the six GTD workflow steps. Collecting; (that is easy they just arrive). Processing; most of that is automatic using the software. Organising; doing if it is under 2 min, deleting delegating, organising includes includes linking to Address books, Mind-Maps and the Calendar and thinking about the the associated NAs and alerts reminders needed. Then there is the Reviewing Doing.
As I write this I realise there is philosophy needed to do this well, GDT is part of it, "email like water" also a notion that online communication is deeply revlolutionary for the psyche. This stuff matters.
Always worth reading

Yes, but calling can refer not only to ways of doing — meaning work — but also to ways of being. Take being a friend. Goethe said that his friend Eckermann was born for friendship. Aristotle made friendship one of the great virtues. In his book on ethics, three or four chapters are on friendship. In the past, friendship was a huge thing. But it’s hard for us to think of friendship as a calling, because it’s not a vocation.
Pile or file?
My physical file GTD setup on flickr
Discussion in GTD on Yahoogroups about the use of piles. The seemed a silly idea till I realised that my three trays are a Pile. Why not have that stuff in a File? It needs to be in your face until it is is filed so no other reminder system is need for the day to day stuff.
Why notice all this stuff… the David Allen Getting things Done craze has got me.
It is quite profound, at the basis of such practical stuff on the surface is a major impact on the psyche, for me anyway.
What a Buzz on the Net at the moment
And this is the thing that got me blogging, a new site from Doug Kaye – I love IT Conversations but there is not enough non-IT that I like to listen to, this might just do it! So I have it in my RSS feed and look forward to some good stuff.

Palm Has Graffiti 1 Back
Ah, just learned about this a year late, it is good news! I could never get used to Graffiti 2, but I converted back to 1 on my T|3. I wonder what it will mean? I still really like Graffiti and would like it on my Tablet!

See this site for a good way to do Graffiti: Palm Graffiti
Note particularly the way the D is done
and how that loop repeats in various orientations with K Y X + “&” * and it can be used for 8 as well.
I am enjoying the tags here
Not sure how I can really best use this site. Interesting to note there are 84 others who have
A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Maybe, there is a connection thing here that can happen?
