  1. Worried about having too few projects!

    I quote from Pg 137 of GTD: “Right now you probably have between thirty and a hundred projects”. When I started GTD about one and half years ago I had about 100 projects. As time has gone by using GTD I have ended up with fewer and fewer. At this moment I have only 16 and for the last few...

  3. Syncing action lists in Project view to PALM

    I am very happy working with Outlook 2003 and syncing to my Palm Tungsten3 (have had it for years and it still works a dream), but the one thing that doesn't work is getting a list of all actions under the Projects category view in the Palm. Also my Palm is limited to 15 categories. Does anyone...

I’m so excited that this GTD philosophy might finally be the right one for me… I’ve been frustrated with others but feel good about this one. I love reading your posts – especially...

  6. using stickies (Post-its) for shopping lists

    I use the left-hand side of my time planner (paper) to write shopping lists - things I can get on my way back from whatever appointment I have on the right-hand side. These shopping lists in there work OK as long as I manage to get all of the errands done. The problem is, when one or two...

  7. Problem scheduling *EVERYTHING*

    Ok, everyone. I've never read the DA books, but I do have the GTD audio book that I've listened to numerous times about 2 years ago. I think I should listen to them again as I feel I've forgotten or lost the skill to implement GTD anywhere close to properly. Here's my MAIN problem. I seem to...

  10. Overwhelmed by NAs. Suggestions?

    I am an architect in my own one-person firm. While maybe 40% of what I do fits neatly in the GTD model, I am struggling with the area that consumes about 60% of my time -- producing construction documents. When it gets time to do these for a project, I have maybe 100 or more NAs, all equally...

    Hi! I've been working w/ GTD for about 6months now and love it... however I have been struggling recently and am hoping for advice/encouragement from the experts out there. I tend to have a revolving "huh" stack that I continue to process and re-process, afraid that if I put it on my NA...

  13. picking a calendar format (newbie)

    I'm new to GTD, and am really noticing a lot of changes so far. Very excited. Unfortunately, the problem I have, the continuously plaguing and frustrating trouble of the past 10 years is my inability to decide on and stick to any particular type of calendar. I've tried: Palm PDA iPod iCal...

  14. multiple entries

    I ordered an artwork and I promised to pick it up by next Saturday. So I put a reminder on next Saturday's date, and also an action "Pick up artwork" on my @out list in case I go by the area. There's no problem with doing this right? Do you have other instances where you write down the action...

  15. 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...

  17. Off the action lists and onto @lists?

  18. 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...

  19. 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...

  20. 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?
