I'd like to gather some ideas about how people track project action items that aren't "next actions" because else has to happen first. I'm speaking here of projects that are more complex than buying tires but less complex than buying a company. 1) Do you tend to plan out your projects as...
Hi all. Forgive me if this is a stupid question - but I've only recent read the GTD book and am working out how to apply it... I get that... GTD divides between time-bound 'next actions' (which I am to put in a dairy) and 'next actions' that need to be done asap (which are stored under...
Picked up a new book from Microsoft Press yesterday called "Take Back Your Life" by Sally McGhee. It is a productivity guide to using Outlook to clean up your life. I was surprised to open it and find David Allen's GTD flowchart in it (with some minor modifications). Topics in the book include...
Hello - I'd like to get ideas on office email "best practices" that perhaps the people you work with have agreed on and have found helpful. Or maybe things you WISH you could agree on. :) I've been asked to lead a 10-15 minute discussion on this topic at our staff meeting next week. I'm actually...
Can anyone give me a quick explanation of RPM from Tony Robbins and how it differs/links to GTD Thanks
Does anyone have a perspective on these two products as tools to help you quickly find stuff on your hard drive, old emails, etc.? One is free and Enfish costs a modest amount of $$$. Is Enfish worth the $$$? Easy to install? No problems with crashing your computer? Thanks! Kevin
OK, I'm a lousy note taker and I need help! I take notes, but they don't always capture the key items, or I have too many notes to make any serious sense of them; yet I still take them! So what happens? I don't use them...don't read them again. I know things are slipping away that could be...
Hi, If you're only thinking about one 'next action' at a time, how do you ensure you reach your deadlines? :? Thanks, Trisha :D
GTD has really helped me BUT, I still procrastinate on particular NAs. Any tips guys?
Hopefully this will help any Newbies... speaking as a simpleton :shock: , and someone not anxious to create a tangle of folders or procedures that actually ADD to the time taken to progress my work... If you are using Outlook conventionally, this will save you perhaps 20% of your time in Outlook...
I got a flyer for upcoming Buzan Mind Maps workshops-Think, Learn, and Create Workshop. 2 days. $650.00. I am interested in know if anyone has been to one and what the "take home" value of the experience was. Not only are you spending money but you are taking two full days out of your usual...
Hello all... I was wondering if there are any out there applying GTD in a Construction Project type of context. I have a quite a few problems with implementation that I think are unique to my field, and was wondering how others dealt with theirs. TY
I got the book, read it this weekend, and am now getting the Outlook add-on. It all looks great. I've started following the guidelines, but I'm generating a very long list of 'next actions' for all the tasks and projects this week - how do I organise them on the page, to prioristise and allocate...
Ive just purchased mind manager - anyone else using this. I have to say that working visually in a mind map format seems to have amazing potential for me. :lol:
I just registered with audible.com's free trial and was hoping to pick up GTD as one of my choices. Sadly, when it came to add it to my account, it came up with the warning that "ALERT: Audible.com is not authorized to sell this title to your geographic location.". Given I'm based in the...
Hi All, I've been using a PDA to GTD for several years now but have just started a new job where I'm not allowed to use a PDA. My first thought was to revert back to using a paper planner but the company uses Outlook so there would be some duplication of effort in terms of calendar entries etc. ...
I get the forums via RSS each day (thanks so much for that feature!!!!) and have made a number of product purchases based on recommendations from this group: 1) I got a diving slate. I forgot who suggested that, but you are a freaking genius! What a super idea for recording notes in the...
Hello everyone from the UK! Just starting with the GTD method and so far so good. I'm also new to Outlook and need a veryu simple question answered. Is it possible to categorise your Contacts? For example I want to list everyone I know in both my business and social life and I can't see...
I am fortunate (?) to work in an environment where I have almost total control of what I do during the day e.g. most days I have one or often zero meetings or other events to attend. I practice GTD (which seems to be designed for people who are very busy indeed) but for chronic procrastinators like...
Folkss, I need some advice. I am trying to decide if Franklin Covey's PlanPlus for Outlook or the GTD Add-in is the best option for managing my many projects. I need to be able to integrate the following elements in my projects (in no particular order): emails documents tasks calls...
