I had some context that didn't work but I really needed them. For example, I use @Errands for any Next Actions I can do when on my way (to home or office). I started using it when put a Post-It with "Check @Errands" in the car where I can see it. The same story with @Agenda. I needed to remind...

Do you prefer to leave a project that was differed to some date in the future (i.e. when the customer comes back from vacation) on your Active projects list or in Someday-Maybe?

David suggests to use 4 points model to choose a Next Action in the moment. I don't feel like fully understand this model. I assume the model should limit my options. Reality shows it doesn't. At least not always. Can you correct me or advice what's wrong in the example below: 1. Context. That...

I am a consultant and have several clients where it is my job to keep the minutes and assign various tasks to staff, then keep track of due dates, progress, etc. So far I've been using a word document I title "agendas" and have a separate one for each client. I keep track of my to dos in my GTD...

I know some touched upon it in a thread about @anywhere recently, but I'm uncertain as to what to do. In that thread I posted that I put braintorming items in my @office list. However, I have quite a few NAs that involve brainstorming or planning. I feel I could get more done, if I create a context...

At what point do people put items on their project list v. just keep it as a subproject of an existing project? I tend to spin off one, no matter how small, if it has a clear and discrete and multiple steps, and there's a lot going on with the parent project. Is this the way others handle it? ...

I'm a GTD newbie, but I'm giving it a go because it makes sense and I've already seen some improvements. Most notably, the feeling of lower stress when I know things are contained in the work system so I don't have to remember them myself. I'm struggling with a couple of things, though, and...

I have been a long time GTD/David Allen follower and have had the methodology fully implemented with varying levels of focus/success over the past few years. I am refining my systems and working toward Black Belt and would appreciate the forum's insight on the following system: Does anyone use...

I don't have any idea about how to proceed for a 20,000 feet review. Any tips?

My org has been bought by a new company, and I'll be transferring along to the new company. I work remotely, and will also be doing an office move (including locating & leasing a new office space for myself) at the same time. Does anyone have any lists or checklists of items to cover when...

Hello, I bought the book "Getting Things Done" a few months ago and I liked it very much because I had the impression that it offers a lot of collective wisdom and useful "recipes". Thanks. I am a postdoctoral researcher (at a university) in computational biology and statistical phsyics. I...

I am trying to improve my consideration of higher levels. Here's what I have for my current framework and my current understanding of what things mean. Of course, it's largely based on the book! Actions: activities that can be done in one sitting and are sufficiently clear to me and concrete...
