“Note Studio”:http://www.dogmelon.com.au/ns/Home%20Page.shtml describes itself as “a simple, powerful way to manage notes” yet it is a form of “wiki”:http://c2.com/cgi/wiki that can be used on the desktop and Palm.

Wiki’s are getting increasingly used in “GTD”:http://www.davidco.com/ circles as a way of managing the system. As they are a very flexible format, you can manage your projects using a wiki, and Note Studio gives you a way to do this using your PDA. I like the idea of wiki as an organising system.

“This wiki by Jacques Turbé”:http://avm.free.fr/wiki/wiki.php?page=NoteStudio&historyindex=0 gives detailed instructions on the use of Note Studio as an organising system, and “note studio as GTD machine”:http://law4pda.org/chocolateGTD/ has step-by-step rules for getting started on your own system.

My own setup is currently working well enough, and I don’t want to do unnecessary tweaking so I won’t be moving to Note Studio yet. However, I have a system of storing project links in bookmarks (in Firefox) and I’m considering moving these to a “personal wiki”:http://dellah.demon.co.uk/venuto
