I personally use an agile software planning tool to manage my daily life. www.pivotaltracker.com is awesome. You can create a huge backlog of tasks and ideas and then only add them to your sprint (i.e. time box - week, month etc) as and when you have time to do it or the inclination/prioritisation. It is really great for managing tasks and long term goals. Good UI too. Great post with some excellent information.

In addition to mapping your todo's, others like Brian Solis of PR 2.0 and myself have started to map our online lives! I use one map that links to all the different communities where I'm engaging in conversations. This helps me systematically review the conversations and individual mail systems to check and update the tasks I keep in my GTD system. Check out the post here and I'd love to hear from you if you're using maps to do the same! Great post.
