Īnother difference is that you can also view them as text or html export files. One aspect of Tinderbox that is different is that you can have multiple views of the same set of notes: outline, explorer, map, and a few others I almost never use. The best comparison between these two programs and many other outliners can be found at ATPO: The outliner portion is pretty similar to Inspiration in some ways, but the map view is quite a bit different. But, I would suggest downloading Tinderbox and the GTD file, then just start fiddling around with it. I haven't used Inspiration but once so I'm not the best person to explain the differences. Next to email and web browsing, it's my most frequently used application. Tinderbox is also great for brainstorming, planning, writing, and just serving as my electronic brain. One advantage of Tinderbox is it is easy to have a set of notes for a project and the next actions together under the project heading, but also have all the next actions for any project show up under the appropriate context. Just as an example, my GTD document has 1353 notes organized into 18 contexts (7 of which are agendas with fellow staff) and a whole bunch of projects. But, the key for GTD purposes is the flexibility of Tinderbox to quickly generate notes (actions, plans, etc.), link them, display them in multiple ways (outlines, maps, simple text data entry), find and sort them in multiple ways (due dates, projects, context, keyword), and finally export them into multiple formats. I also use a Moleskin notebook and my printed out NextActions to collect random thoughts and actions throughout the day.

I have my GTD Tinderbox file open all day and use an InBox to input notes and next actions throughout the day. Developing a basic comfort level with Tinderbox is easy and then you can delve more deeply into its awesome power.which I've still just getting into myself.

The Tinderbox Wiki is a great source of guidance, as is the Tinderbox support (the best for any software I've ever used!).

Once I learned how to export my NextActions page to an html file that I could print, I've been in great shape. In fact, I learned a lot about how Tinderbox works by using Ryan's GTD template and reading his website. I've been using the GTD template for Tinderbox created by Ryan Holcomb (see and ) for about a year now.
