Played a big part in getting me away from Entourage (if it was a newspaper it would be called "The Daily Crash") and onto Mail.app. I use a less elegant variant of your system. I plan with KGTD and Omnioutliner and keep the master list of tasks here. Emails get processed using Mailtags. I tag with keywords, and any message requiring action has a "to do" assigned to it. I use the projects category in Mailtags to assign the context of the action. This allows easy synching with Ical and KGTD. Further processing of the tasks happen in KGTD where I can think a bit more about the priority in regard to ongoing projects and assign due dates. I can then sync ICal with dot Mac, and view tasks by due date at work, and view tasks by calender (context) at home. As I said not very elegant and subject to further refinement, but it works for me. Yojimbo is great as a tool for organising reference material but I don't think it is as powerful (inelegant as it is) as the KGTD/Omni/Ical combination. Great website!

And, by the way, it's looking better. It took ten minutes to find out that Mori is much more flexible than Yojimbo. And, by the way, it’s looking better.
