  1. Forget about contexts.

  16. Using more than one trusted system

    Hello all. I was wondering if anyone had a separate GTD setup for work vs personal.

  20. Procrastination on the Someday/Maybe

    How do you guys deal with the subconscious resistance when going through your Someday/Maybe list. I keep procrastinating from turning my Someday/Maybe list to Project list. By the way, do you divide your Someday/Maybe list into long term and short term?
