Due the abundance of information out there about "Getting Things Done" (GTD), David & Co. has responded with a web page that provides an official definition of this term: http://www.davidco.com/what_is_gtd.php

I have a large project that consists of 10 separate subprojects. I need to make certain that I complete and track all 10 subprojects, which I can do one at a time. Example: subproject 1 is in :active projects", the other 9 in "pending projects". After that intro, my questions are: Would you keep...
I've been a GTD user for about 3 years, and a Palm user for about 10 years. Between the ubiquity of my Treo and the efficiency of GTD, I feel like I'm pretty well set. The only exception is that it would be nice to make use of the internet at any computer I'm at to quickly and easily make notes...
Any suggestions/comments on the differences/preferences of these two? Also, has anyone ever used these with Baseball Scoring software? If so, what were your thoughts?
Hello, In my pre-GTD days, I worked as a bookkeeper at a large retail store for several years. Other staff would place any paperwork for me to process in my own inbox - invoices, delivery notes, till receipts etc. I'd regularly go through it and either do it, file it, stack items up for...
:!: :!: I have the 8-cd set of "Getting Things Done Fast" for sale. My father-in-law died & they belonged to him. I have looked everywhere for the workbook, but have been unable to find it anywhere. I am selling the cd set for $100.00 plus shipping & handling, which...
I am trying to set up a better way to record someday/maybe items. I use a paper system - my organizer - for everything else and it works great, since I've customized my system for over a year now. However, my someday/maybe list is getting very long and is not as clear anymore. I want to use Outlook...
I have booked up (with my Connect discount). I am really looking forward to it. I attended last year but am hoping to pick up some new things because of my different perspective. Sharon
There are significant portions of time in my life right now where I am just standing around b/c my presence is required. Oftentimes it is important for me to pay attention, but oftentimes it is now whatsoever. Even so, my presence is still required and I cannot work on a computer, notepad, palm...
The exchange server that handles email at my school will be deleting all emails that are older than 90 days beginning very soon. I have been utilzing my outlook as sort of file cabinent consistenting of individual folders for students i work with as well as ones for meetings/committtees/progams i...
Does anyone do this and with what program? thanks
What do you guys do while you want to take a 5-10 minute break from work. I'm a student and follow the recommendation to study in blocks of 20-50 minutes with 5-10 minute breaks. I usually go for 45-50 minutes, then take a 5-10 minute break, but I usually find myself walking around thinking,...
What do you do when you get so many NA that you get overwhelmed, my list keep building up and then look like todo lists. thoughts?
Enroute to work this morning, my GTD podcast talked about creating next action lists that you love, in fact, next action lists that you fall in love with. Powerful statement! It was said that a weekly review helps you create such lists. But that is kind of general -- anyone have any insight into...
I'm using Outlook to manage my lists in the office. I'm interested to automate connection between the next action and the project. I'd like a window to pop up with a request to enter a new next action when the previous (either from Tasks list or Calendar) is completed. Do you know of any free of...
I was wondering, for a given project that requires multiple actions, is the preferred method to come up with all the actions for that project at once, and shuffle in each "next action" into your NA list as you finish the previous action? Or is it better to just come up with the next action, and...
Currently, I put all next-actions into a single Word file, prefixed with context and project info, so when I sort them, 'aa' (office) is at the top. Even sorted, it is kinda messy, and I am tempted to distribute next action items across multiple context lists: at phone, at computer, at home, at...
Just finished the GTD book and want to start using the sysytem with Outlook. There is a lot of talk about the Inbox (mine is out of control). But what is the recommended use of the Outbox? How do you control all the messgae there? Thanks.
I am keen to have some attitude and motivation upgrade sessions...or maybe I'm just looking for some inspirational GTD coaching..in London UK I haven't entirely fallen off the GTD wagon...(my filing system is pretty good) I just need a boost. Particularly as I am a lone freelancer who only...
In David Allen's latest enewsletter he discusses the fact that using the GTD model can effectively produce your own imaginary 'executive assistant' - yourself. He states, " GTD is about creating a process that ensures, with the least amount of effort possible, that we appropriately capture,...
Sometimes I discover things that really resonate. For example, today I was listening to David's talk with Arianna Huffington, a prodigious writer. She dictates all her first drafts, then edits them later. Furthermore, she dictates them to a person, allowing the reactions of that person to...
