Dave Caolo recently wrote up a lengthy explanation of how to use Backpack for GTD (Getting Things Done)...
I tried all of the GTD software I could find...All were nice, but the common issue was this: Each solution offers the author’s interpretation of how a GTD system should work, which doesn’t necessarily jibe with my own. Also, I don’t want to learn software before I can get working (that’s a project in itself!). Basically, I want an electronic version of my favorite tool - pen and paper. Backpack is it. In this article, I’ll describe how Backpack satisfies the steps of GTD...With Backpack, I can collect all of my stuff into one place, decide what it is, organize it accordingly, identify and perform action steps and finally assess progress during my weekly review. Plus, since it’s hosted on the web, I can access my stuff from nearly any computer anywhere (or at least forward an email).
As someone who has tried a slew of GTD software, I’ll never abandon Backpack. It’s the definitive solution.
Here's a look at one of Dave's basic project pages:
