  1. Lightbulb Tip: Rubber band your razor handle

    Here's another tip for the list of dumb, dorky little things that actually work. After reading David Allen's post about rubber-banding charged batteries, I decided to do something similar with my razor. I've figured that I can usually get five good shaves from my Gillette Fusion Power razor...

  2. Palm vs GTDMail vs GTD Wiki ?

    I've sort of got myself into 'cool new tool' overload and I need some clear 'minds like water' to help me focus. :p I've been managing my GTD just fine on my Palm Pilot. I haven't run into any problems with the category limitations or anything. I've purchased and am about to receive a Palm...

  3. Off the action lists and onto @lists?

    I have been trying to figure out why I am allergic to my context lists and I had the insight that I have been putting way too many things on them because I am including things that are not next actions, many are "if I happen to there, I would be open to....(buying a certain object, asking a...

  4. Newbie Question - Action Item and Working A Project

    Hi everyone, I am barely 2 days into my exploration of GTD and after listening to the audiobook version I am left with a couple of nagging questions::confused: 1) The focus seems to be on the first action required . . . but what about if, even at the very start, you know what steps 2, 3 and...

  5. Which is more effective, using the item itself as reminder or writing it all down?

    When you have a usual category of deferred action items, do you write them down on the proper context list or use the item itself as a reminder? For example, after processing my inbox I usually end up with a stack of to encode, to fill up, and to pay. I could write them all down, such as pay...

  6. Stricter criteria for @calls?

    Some of my calls can only be made on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, some during afternoons only. Would I numb myself to the list if I keep these all together, since I wouldn't be able to do some of them? Should I set a stricter criteria?

  7. Dealing with Inquiries

    I am working on implementing GTD but one type of inbox item keeps holding me up. I am a photographer so a regulary (i.e.) daily inbox item I receive are inquiries. Either by phone or most often by email. Calling these inquiries (prospects) typically takes more than just 2 min so then it...

  8. Giving it another go

    I fell off the wagon for awhile. I got started with GTD in 2005. I was really excited by all the quick wins. Just the simple act of putting my filing system in order was a HUGE step forward. Here is how my first 6-9 months went: Filing / Using the label maker --- I took to this right...

  9. Smile My two month anniversary of using GTD!

    I just realized that today is my two month anniversary of using GTD, and I am still going strong! I am amazed at the difference it has made with me professionally and also in my private life. My wife feels that I am much more connected to the family because I keep much more on top of our projects...

  10. Dealing with the Urgent/Important Stuff

    I've mastered the art of GTD for things that are important but not urgent. However, I'm struggling with the urgent and important stuff. For instance, yesterday I was in town running errands and received a call from a customer who I am meeting with today and I needed to email her directions to my...

  11. Do you plan out your day ahead of time?

    I was just wondering how many people plan out their day ahead of time and how exactly you do it. I have done this a few times where I drag actions from my Outlook task list at the start of the day to my calendar so that I get to it on that day if possible. I have found that the days I do that are...

  12. how do you organize the someday/maybe list?

    Do you separate the itens in the someday/maybe list in subgroups? I have items that are things I'd (remotely) like to do eventually (e.g. buy a boat), things that I'd like to do that are more "possible", like learn French, and items I'll have to do soon but not now (that's why they are not in the...

  13. mindmapping suits me better

    I'm a freelance editor and often take on more work than I have capacity for. I came into GTD last year and was really enthusiastic about it because it was helping me to get lots of things done. Lately, however, I've had so many projects going on that I was beginning to lose sight of things and was...

  14. Quote

    A friend recently quoted the line "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" - I don't remember where it's from - but my GTD saturated brain immediately replied with: "Keep your action lists close and your capture tool closer." And I actually kinda like it :) Tony

  15. Any GTD New Yorkers??

    I would be interested in hearing from a GTD user who might be available to do some part-time office work in Brooklyn. It would not be implementing the whole system but working knowledge of some of the basic principals would be helpful. If this is not an appropriate context for this querey,...

  16. Lightbulb ThinkingRock

    Has anyone here tried ThinkingRock? It's supposed to be a GTD-lige PIM-replacement. I took a quick look and feel that it matches the principles pretty well. But i'm just starting with it. I wonder how far you can go until it breaks down because of some important thing of the GTD-system that...

  17. Importance of @context

    I've reviewed and seen the samples of context lists in this forum. I've tried the typical @calls, @computer, @desk, etc... and kept coming back to the thought that I need something simpler. I do most of my Next Actions either at home or at work. When I'm at work, I have access to the...

  18. Question Project list? Yes, but HOW?

    I just re-read the part about creating a project list with all your projecs on it in the GTD-book. But there are no details about how the format is, or how to structure your projects. And worst of all: How to keep to-dos of your projects in your main list of next steps... As far as i could...

  20. A waiting project, active or pending?

    I have I project that has no NA because I'm still waiting for client approval. My client says I would know by this week or next week. Should I put this project and it's support materials on active or pending list?
