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

Hey everyone, First off, I'm just out of highschool, and will be attending MIT this term. Thus I've been under hefty stress about getting things ready before I go, and what needs to get done when I move, ( I'm from Houston, with 2 weeks of winter, so it's going to be a tad diffrent :-| ) and...
I caught myself yesterday again watching TV :) And decided to check if I have this activity on my Next Action lists. Of course I didn't find anything like this there :) So I started populating my lists with actions I usually do at home to have that options: Watch TV, Read, Fix. When done I came to...
From talking to other people, I seem to not be the only one with the opinion that even though GTD organizes your life and your next actions into convenient lists, it still requires discipline and willpower to DO the next actions. In otherwords, you can use the GTD system well and STILL be a...
In dealing with the daily volume, if every new client is a project with 20 or so steps to completion, and there are numerous customer serivice issues each day, and very little is done away from the computer, does it make sense to categorize the time blocks set aside for dealing with stuff. Such...
In his blog, Matt suggests a WorkFlow tool: The five stages on a business card cube. That's great idea to keep five stages divided in time (We (1) collect things that command our attention; (2) process what they mean and what to do about them; and (3) organize the results, which we (4) review as...
I created a matrix for myself on how to defer the stuff. I think it would be of some help and I want your comments on how that combines with GTD pronciples. Here it goes: Small action without due date - goes to Next Action List (i.e. to call Sarah) Small action with due date - goes to Next...
I'm just starting (about a month or so into) to use GTD, and I'm already getting some value out of it. The 2-minute rule is a life-saver all by itself. My question revolves around Projects. I'm onboard with identifying the absolute next actions for Projects. What is not as clear is how to manage...
I have to create, and get approved, 25 documents by a certain date. They all have to be don eby that date, but non eneed to be done before then. I've estimated about how much time I'll need to spend on each one to hit the target. Would it be best to add the time for each to my daily calendar (e.g....
I have a few weeks to start settling the affairs/estate of my late grandfather before returning to my own home over 1,000 miles away. I'm not the executor--my father is--but he is not computer literate, lives 2 hours away, and has to care for my ailing mother. So I'm trying to get things rolling....
All, I've being GTD'ing for a couple of months now and really enjoy both the simplicity and the results that the system has shown. However - I'm still not entirely happy about one bit of my workflow. I work as a consultant and am constantly in and out of meetings. When I'm at my desk I work...
We are running ACCPAC with 5 users, I am trying to install ACCPAC on my workstation. When I use the ACCPAC provided "Workstation Install program" it runs to 25% and give an error number -119. Any help in determining what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
I am interested in hearing about how other people are using ListPro with GTD and any little things to do to make it better or look out for?
Not sure if this has been posted about before. I was just wondering if there were any GTD'ers on here who have successfully resolved any issues with their spouses or sig others regarding GTD. My fiancee is a bright intelligent woman with a knack for just naturally getting things done. I, on the...
Anyone read any great books lately? Other than GTD?
I've been implementing the system for a couple of months now, and I feel like it's going well. I browse this forum, 43folders, gtdwannabe blogs, etc. and in the midst of all of this GTD discussion, I've realized that I haven't heard from anyone that says "I've used GTD and am in the zone, and it's...
Hi, just wondering if anyone uses a tablet PC for GTD? I've just bought the new Samsung Q1 and just trying to implement GTD on it. I love being able to write directly on the Screen its so much easier to get thoughts down. There is a lot to be said about handwriting over Keyboard. The mind is...
Does anyone have a good method of storing quotations. I use Bonsai (which is great for GTD) but I can't seem to use it store quotes as I would like. Cheers Neil - looking forward to attending the roadmap this month
Yes, it is in my bedroom. I can't wait to show you the "other" office in our house, but one thing at a time. I have read the book nearly all the way through and this weekend I am going to begin collecting all my stuff. I don't know if I can manage to get everything collected in 2 days. I am...
I teach high school, and wondered if there might be any other teachers here. Any suggestions/tips for implementing GTD? -For personal organization of teaching paperwork/responsibilities? -For classroom/student organization? chris.
