Our brains are polar opposites
Ha, wow that's a neat observation. I'm curious about this...
I hear ya about really preferring to not have more than two days' work in your to-do. Do you notice that a longer list becomes overwhelming and anxiety-producing (so you have a need to get started doing before you get to the end of writing it down
( ... )

On the software: yes there's a bit of a Unix/Linux tilt to Tracks; which is probably why I went for it. Another of my priorities was self-hosting rather than trusting some web 2.0 service out there. I know other folks really like "Remember The Milk" or "Todoist" (among other hosted options).
If you're still interested, there is a free Tracks host; https://tracks.tra.in/ . I'd offer you an account on my tracks machine, but it's behind a work firewall :/
Falling off the tracks...
Software to help with not writing to-do lists... hm, how about a chat-client and a buddy asking you "OK, what are you working on next?" :)
I was interested to learn that the GTD guy does a lot of his brainstorming in Mind Maps, because they feel about as right-brained and creative as I want to get when I'm focusing on writing something out. For that, my software tends to be a bic pen and a large sheet of paper. :)
I managed to miss whatever happened with the thing with the Quakers in my not having a computer time. What happened? Did I miss something that I need in on?
Not to worry, you haven't missed anything that won't be filled in when we get the email list together.
I will email the invite to you now; I'm so glad you mentioned it because I only sent it to the people who were officially named on the committee. (Apologies for that!)
