Community Forums: PUBLIC: Discuss Getting Things Done

I picked up from David Allens book that, in the context (no pun intended) of GTD, a project is an outcome that requires more than one Next Action. A lot of outcomes that I need to accomplish required more than one NA but possible only 3, 4 or half a dozen tha can, mostly, be accomplished in a short...

I've written a piece on my own expansion of the threefold model for evaluating daily work. This is essentially the result of observations of my own behavior when deciding which action to choose from a very long list. It probably won't apply to every situation, but may spark some ideas if you're...

I know there's Eric Mack's site at www.ICA.com, but beyond viewing a screenshot of his Notes template, are there any users out there successfully implementing GTD methodology within Notes either with or without a custom template? I have heard within the GTD site that DavidCo is a Notes shop......

There was thread in January of '04 wherein several lawyers discussed how they applied this system to their practices. I'm new to this and am trying to find out how other lawyers have used this. Specifically, I'm a litigator and was intrigued by a post from a BrianK. Any responses would be...

Is there a way to use the GTD add-in, with Outlook 2003, one profile and several .pst/data files ? Or does anyone know of a application that will let us implement GTD in Outlook with multiple .pst files - thanks Trisa

Hi all- When using the GTD Outlook Add-In, does anyone know if there is a way to have the Save for Reference box checked automatically when setting up an action, delegate, or waiting for task? There are times I forget to check the box, and although I can go back and find the e-mail and...

Hi, newbie here. I have a Palm, but cannot synch this to my work computer (IT Police) At work we use Lotus Notes (yech!) not Outlook. Any ideas about how I can synchronise the different elements to make GTD a useable option for me?

I've been gradually implementing more and more of the entire GTD methodology over the last year, and my work and home life have definitely been more productive and less stressful ever since. Most of my implementation is centered around my laptop, using Outlook for most stuff. I've run into one...

If you use the outlook add in, how does it sync to your palm? I use a kyocera 7135. I have office to go and beyond contacts. do they make a palm outlook?

I have been using many of the “Getting Things Done” principles for several years. I now do most of my work on laptop – so the line is blurred between where I do many things. I find that categories on my action list of @office or @home, don’t really apply…. Any suggestions as to how to better...

I started a thread the other day which basically asked what to do if a large portion of the stack you sit down to process is comprised of stuff that you need to spend more like 8-20 minutes per piece just to to pick out the actionable items? There were a number of good responses. As I have...

Stumbled onto this forum on looking for a good time management system, in my search much praise is given to David Allen's work. I thus purchased prior to coming here "Ready for Anything" in book form. Last night ordered a tape from Amazon.ca "Geting Things Done". I will also order the book. Using...

Any other authors out there like David Allen? David Allen's GTD system has made such an impact on my life. I have listened to both of his books in audio format and have listened to "getting things done fast" audio course about 30 times now (literally). I need fresh material. If Allen had...
