Those go into the Franklin Planning system, which is very similar to what you put forth.

When I was using it (I use GTD now as it's more compatible with Agile), I used Achieve Planner and PlanPlus, but they're not free.  But the Franklin System is pretty standard, so you should be able to find it with a good search.

Yeah, ToDoList is a great piece of software - I haven't used it in years, but it seems to have just gotten better.

Did you double-post there Contro - or was the second post meant to be about the Franklin planner?

For whatever reason there are hardly any GTD programs for Windows that also happen to be freeware. Most have disappeared or moved to payware models. I've only been able to find one promising candidate.

ThinkingRock....their homepage is here:

However, they have moved to a payware model with v3.x of their software, which is the only version they offer on their homepage. The last freeware version, v2.2.1, can be found here:

The good news is its crosss-platform. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are supported. The bad news is it achieves this by being written in Java. Some people don't like Java touching their systems. I respect that.

I do like their licensing terms, though, for the paid version. $39 buys a license that lets you use the program on multiple computers with any mix of platforms, free upgrades, and free iOS and Android mobile apps.

Standard disclaimer: I've never used this software. I've never heard of this program or the company behind it until today. I've never used a GTD task-prioritizing system in my life.
