Improving time management with an iPod

I agree with Podophile, I sync my iPod with iCal every evening before leaving work, and save my lists created in Omni Outliner (books to buy, etc) on my iPod also for when I drop my Barnes and Noble. Works for me. The one complaint is of course that the system is not interactive - You can't mark off items as you complete them and then sync that back to your computer.

ToDo Lists are automatically synced from iCal to your iPod when syncing calendars, so no need to create text files or audio files.

Sure this is very convenient, but there is no way to add or delete items off the ToDo List. With the ability to edit calendar events on the iPhone, we should see a perfect integration.

More than likely the iPhone will further promote this GTD thing going around with the exposure to iCal and Address Book. Maybe we'll even see a windows-iTunes update with an address book feature added into iTunes

You're right, the iPod doesn't have any inherent time management abilities. However, the main benefit of the iPod in this context is that many people keep their iPods with them everywhere they go, which makes it very convenient to check to-do lists, calendars, etc. No need to remember to print and take separate lists with you.

well, actually you can ^^

but its kind of strange to do, and even more, it is silly.

just make a plain audio file about 10 seconds and add it to the iTunes. remane it as the title of your "todo" and make the comment to like "todolistitem".
make a new smart playlist where everything where comment is like "todolistitem" and playcount = 0.
you have to add for every todo a new file.

now you have a "playlist" :P with your to do list, and as soon as you play the items, you "check" them as "already done" and they are gone out of that list.

very very very silly, but i guess it should work :P

Too bad you can't cross off items as you complete them! The iPhone will take care of this little problem...
