Can anyone help me with either experiences or best practices on the best method for implementing a GTD system for a sales person. I manage about 100 customers in Oklahoma and have approx 2-5 opportunities I'm working to close for each. We use Salesforce.com for our CRM, so don't want to...
I'm setting up my system and would love to see different screen shots of Mac, iPhone and iPad programs (I had PI before). Who is brave enough to show a screen copy of his calendar and action lists setup? :lol:
Problem: My natural instinct is to put the tasks I *desire* to get done today (vs. strictly "MUST do" tasks -- for which the line often feels blurry) as due today, so they'll show up on my Outlook Today task list. If I have to go sorting through all my active projects' tasks after completing any...
Something I've never quite understood with GTD is where do the urgent things go? An example from last weekend. We realise that out son needs a dental appointment asap to get a mouthguard fitted. So I really should do this first thing Monday. What context is this? I tend to deal with these by...
I work in the office. I love to come to office daily. Then I start meetings as planned. There's no time for calls or computer tasks because there's ni time in my office when I can concentrate and be alone. I started to book doing time: reading, computer actions. I make phones calls in between...
Hello, What is the general consensus on a Universal Inbox vs seperate business and personal inboxes (I'm talking email here). I am on the fence with having my work email forwarded to my personal account to reduce my number of inboxes. I have a BlackBerry, so I know how the universal inbox works...
I’m new here and fairly new to GTD. I have used this sytem in my work life with great success. I can honestly say I have a “mind like water” much of the time in my work, which is great. However, it is in my personal life that I’m struggling. I have found it very helpful to capture, process and...
Hey, Just wondering what are some "interesting" file folder naming setups people have. What i mean by this is like: Travel, Action Support, Talk to **** stuff like :)
How does one track a @waitingfor when it isn't a person? For example, If I am waiting for a meeting to take place, or waiting for the first of the month when a new procedure goes into effect, or waiting for a parts shipment to arrive?
I need to sync my new iPad HD to have all the content as on the iPad 2. I was trying to formulate the next action as: - Look for a new iPad in the living room to connect to the comp for sync - Connect new iPad to the comp for sync - ... I would say none of them motivate me to stand up and...
Hey all, I love planning, but lately I've been finding that the planning isn't taking me as far as I want to go. I know what I want to achieve, but need some peer pressure to make it happen. I'm a pretty driven person, I have a high-level corporate job and a kid, and I like to really bring...
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to classify a project as a subproject after creation.
Does anyone use index cards to implement GTD? Can you share your categories?
Hello, I hope someone may be able to help me with a question. I read GTD and Making it all work a while back, excellent books with some truly great thinking. I believe it was David Allen that quotes some research done with students over the Christmas break and their increased tendency to...
In his The Alternative Productivity Manifesto post Clay Collins wrote: So... Let's make our companies less productive. We want to be free and happy. Naive Chinese people should take care of this whole "stupid productivity thing". Great insight. So if your productivity decreases your...
I'm a math professor. GTD works very well for me in most areas of my professional and personal life. One where I'm struggling, though, is on staying caught up on reading. I need an effective way to prioritize and read new research that comes out in my field. Here's what I'm currently doing...

I've been doing FlyLady for over a year and recently discovered GTD. I have done tons of decluttering and my house is ready for company in minutes. However, I have struggled with the morning routine - I am a very creative person and when I have a good idea, I want to make the most of it and take it...
Hi, After many years of using other people's cast off furniture in my home office I have at last been able to afford to have it refitted with custom furniture. The first step, however, was to empty the room! This was a major undertaking and I doubt I could have even attempted it without...
I work for government and most of the work is given out to consultants to do, and we project manage and pull all the work together. I haven't been doing well at it so far. Frequent problems occur when I need to schedule a meeting so the consultant can present the results to us, they say they are...
