Though frankly, for me, I'd consider it a success if it helps people manage the Gordian Knots of their professional and personal lives. In that, it seems there's a degree of "success" happening there. Prior to your personal email, I wasn't aware of your site. After reading through it a bit, I linked to it in my blogroll. Very, very useful.

Unfortunately I did not receive too much feedback but the meeting went very well and I was very happy with what we accomplished! My biggest goal was to learn how students can use ResultsManager since we don't have many long term "projects" (at least I don't) and thus creating a plan for example to do well in a single class is actually no more work than just making a list in MindManager alone. The biggest thing I learned is that ResultsManager is best when you have many projects going on that span many maps that have linked actions. Here ResultsManager allows you to automate the process of creating a to do list from the many thing you have going on. Finding a way to do this from a student's perspective takes some work but a lot of my initial frustrations were resolved and I can see many examples where in fact such an application would be quite beneficial. I think it really depends on the individual though and their current situation. I'll post more later this weekend along with some examples! Thanks for the link!

I got through 72 pages tonight. It was a nice and informative read, so I'll be the first to say... RTFM! Comment from original post that was removed... Just a quick update/comment: I half expected the obligatory comment of "RTFM!", but obviously our readers are smarter than that. The manual is 208 pages! There is some duplication between "Express Mode", Implementing GTD and "Power User Mode" Sections, as well as Appedices and FAQs, but is still intimidating. Nick was right about the manual.

Reading the whole manual is not an essential step - the section on using Express Mode will get you started without knowing everthing. The manual is also unlike most software manuals in that it relates to practical usage rather than just a list of features and functions, so appears bigger for this reason. The biggest change is to move from using MindManager to make to-do lists to using it to create plans, and letting ResultsManager do the list-making.
