Here is a note from a reader who is using Remember the Milk (RTM) with MYN. He show you one way to set up RTM. While I greatly prefer ToodleDo over RTM (due to support of start dates and many other reasons), if you are a die-hard RTM user, this note will be helpful.<\/p>\n

Hi, Michael:<\/p>\n
I bought your book for my Kindle app in my iPad2 and I like it very much.\u00a0For years I’ve been using GTD, complex Outlook task and flags management, AutoFocus 4 logs, etc. and after using your MYN these weeks I feel much more effective, much less stressed and simply better and happier professional.Thank you.<\/p>\n
I’m using Remember The Milk for iPhone\/iPad\/browser and I’m very happy with it. I’d like to share with you how is my set up.<\/p>\n
I have 2 lists:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0Now Tasks (for “page #1” of your system)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The tasks are ordered by priority. I use priority 1 (red) for my weekly SOC’s of the week, and priority 2 (blue) for Critical Now<\/strong> tasks. The tasks on Oportunity Now<\/strong> list have no priority.\u00a0I don’t use the Target Now <\/strong>list, but it’s easy to implement with priority 3 (light blue).<\/p>\n With your recomendation about due dates, I rarely use them now, and when a task has a due date I type it in the name of the task.\u00a0Now I’m using due dates in RTM as start dates, to implement Defer-To-Do, Defer-To-Review and Follow-Up tasks.<\/p>\n So I’ve created an smart search for this list that doesn’t show me the tasks with start date in the future. This is the seach:<\/p>\n list:”Now Tasks” AND (dueBefore:today OR due:today OR due:never)<\/em><\/p>\n I’ve saved it as “Now Tasks Filtered” and it’s what I use daily.<\/p>\n 2. Over the horizon (for “page #2”)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I use this list as your basic recommendation. I plan to implement in the future the “extended review” with tags, but for now It’s working fine for me.<\/p>\n Regards,<\/p>\n Alfredo Zurdo<\/p>\n Madrid, Spain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 7, 2011 Here is a note from a reader who is using Remember the Milk (RTM) with MYN.
