Hello all, First post to the forums, and rather new to GTD. I have been working my way through the book for sometime now, and have already reaped some of the benefits. I have to admit I am not full into the into the process as of yet, however I have noticed a disturbing trend... The more I...
I am a new GTDer having jumped on board approxiamtely 30 days ago. I am having a little trouble getting around to my weekly review as my schedule is very unpredictable. My question relates to format of weekly review. I am curious about whether I should begin from the top or higher altitude views...
When do you find it most productive to do your weekly review? On Friday afternoon -- so you can process all the stuff you would worry about over the weekend and have a clear view of what next week holds? On Sunday afternoon -- when you are nice and relaxed and uninterrupted? On Monday...
I am just starting out on this GTD journey (haven't even finished the audio book yet), so bare with me :) I am wondering if the idea is to get inboxes organized into actions, how important is it to have emails available on a PDA? I'm looking at $15 vs. $42 for the portablemac app, the only...
I have a problem with being able to generate a seemingly endless list of projects, NA's, SM's, etc. If I attempt to capture them all, this leads to an unwieldly number of things to keep track of. I should point out that I'm trying to use gtd for both work and home, so pretty much...
I have just finished the book and am starting my first weekly review. I am confused about listing projects as items in the palm to-do list. How does this fit in with the context sorting style of GTD? I have entered my projects, X, Y, Z into the the to-do list but wonder what to do with them...
I have a problem and I'm wondering if someone can help. I think I'm a workaholic I've been taking high doses acid reducing stomach medication to stop the ulcers that plague me from stress. I also take valium to try to aleviate my stress levels and help me sleep. I'm also seeing a...

Does anyone have any statistics on how long "Getting Things Done" has been on the best sellers list or any way to find this information out easily? From DA's recent blog entry (http://www.davidco.com/blogs/david/archives/2006/02/gtd_on_the_rise.html) "GTD made #1 in this month's Business Week...
I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me...and at this time of year we all could use a little...calm!!! By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace. The article read: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all...
sricha27 already mentioned this deal in this post: http://www.davidco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4992 but I'm not sure he used the right title to get the attention this deal deserves. This $500 project management software, which can be had right now (until midnight tonight) for a $5 donation to...

Hi all, I started a new job today and will be using Outlook, which I've never used before. I thought I read something recently about a 'white paper' for Outlook that might help me to figure out how to use all of the functions. Does anyone know where I might find this information? Thanks for...
I recently came across a quite amazing offer from AxoSoft, that allowed me to get a 5 user version of their project management software OnTime for just $5 rather than $495, even better the $5 was donated to the Red Cross! I have been struggling to find a project/task management solution thats...
Hi. This is my first post here. I have just started implementation of GTD, and would be interested in your comments on my progress and your suggestions. I use Outlook for almost everything, coupled with a Palm Tungsten C with Beyond Contacts; a PIM replacement that's basically Outlook for PDA....
Hi Folks, I have an artist friend who wants to improve filing for her sketches, which are larger than normal (they are 11"x17" up), and need to be stored flat. Do you have any tips for equipment? I've found many heavy-duty ones online (e.g., here) but she has a limited budget. Thanks! matt
Hello, I have read "GTD" book as well as David's article about Palm configuration. I am curious how does DA implement/maintain relationship between NAs and Projects? Now, I have to switch to my project's TODO to get all references (phones, infos etc) and switch back to NA's TODO to check it...
I'm curious to know how others of you -- particularly those doing GTD with a paper-based system -- manage the flow of information during a job search. Currently, I have a separate job search binder with five sections: weekly plan (to keep my job search balanced between new applications, follow-ups,...
I have created a A-Z filing system which so far consist of two, 2 drawers filing cabinets (filling up fast). Now I start to have problem in remembering under what alphabetic name I archived particular refenrences. I understand that I would need an extra index list which describes tha content of my...
I do software programming, and as I work I generate dozens of NAs per day (finding bugs to fix, thinking of things to test). I enter it in the company issue tracker but I also keep the NAs in my personal system. Two problems: there are so many actions (dozens, potentially hundreds); also my...
