Gyronix GyroQ
Gyronix is starting to talk about GyroQ, a handy tool for capturing ideas and actions quickly for later inclusion in MindManager maps. I’ve been testing this in beta for a while and it has become an essential part of my suite of productivity tools.
Backing GyroQ is a nifty scripting-ish layer that allow me to script some things to happen in MindManager, triggered by ActiveWords.
The final component of my inbox-to-map action management system involves the use of some Outlook Macros. I do this because sometimes it’s faster and more precise to run directly against the Outlook object model than to use ActiveWords to script UI interactions.
I’ve been waiting on to get clearance to post some of this stuff since way back when I posted some other ActiveWords scripts for moving stuff from Outlook into MindManager/Results. So this post is a “heads up”, but in the near future, I’ll post the bits and pieces that hold my system together, including how I enqueue attached Outlook email objects as tasks in my ResultsManager InTray using ActiveWords and GyroQ.

Since it’s been a couple of months, any chance you’ll release this?

[…] I’ve been promising for a while to post the glue that ties together Outlook, ActiveWords, GyroActivator, GyroQ, ResultsManager, and MindManager. (Whew! That sounds like a lot of gadgets when they’re all written out in a list like that!) What follows is my attempt to deliver on that promise. […]
