Why Did I Download/Buy This?
When I first started exploring GTD, I went looking for something outside the standard Palm applications to help me manage projects. Progect was excellent.
How Do I Use This?
Unfortunately, I do a lot of my work on my PC and use my PDA as a take-along reference. I could never use my PDA as the only place where I could see and enter tasks. Progect was replaced by Bonsai.
If you enjoyed this post, please buy me a cup of coffee!

Hi – have recently found your blog, and am enjoying reading – many of your thoughts seem all to too familiar to me
Anyways, thought you might be interested to know that there is actually a desktop component for progect: PDesk (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdesk/). The PC/Palm Sync setup was a little fiddly at first (for me at least – am quite impatient with tha sort of thing!), but once done, it seems to work a charm.
I too was looking for a palm-based project manager with a desktop component as a must, and have found the progect/PDesk combination very useful. Admittedly, I’ve only been using it for a week or two, but so far so good!
One software I tried and was very happy with is Bonsia. It’s an outliner, rather than project management, but it does what I need it to. There’s a free ebook on how I use it in the ebook section
