:?: I am curious to know whether anyone here has tried Franklin Covey's "new" PlanPlus v. 2.0 to use along with GTD or as an alternative to GTD... as well as general comments on the plusses and minusses of both programs. Thanks

Hi GTD Users... I have been using GTD Outlook for 3 Mths. now and all this system has really change my life,Thank You David Allen Company. One question: I can,t seem do understand how to link a New projects with Next Action in Outlook !! I mean physicaly tie the two together!! Are projects in...

I have been following the recent 'on the brink' thread and certainly sympathize with the original post - getting to grips with some of this stuff can be a bear. I personally have way more trouble with the home-based stuff (bills, credit card offers, bills, school mail, more bills, etc.) than with...

I've been a happy Plain Vanilla user up to now, but my employer is switching us all to an Outlook based CRM. I'm faced with switching to Outlook now. I've looked at the Kratz method and liked parts of it alot, but the project thing doesnt work for me because its too many steps to make it sync...

Hi, I have read the book and read posts, but I am still unclear on implementation. Lets assume I am going to do all my tracking in a word document. I will have one section with only projects: Projects: - Clean garage - Clear out Mother's house before sale - Finish beta write-up

I've just finished reading the book, and like many it seems, having a little problem with the implementation phase. Remember, the book is directed with those of us who have "trouble" getting things done - such as implementing new ideas such as this. As a suggestion, I would really like to see a...

Has anyone attempted to implement gtd on microsoft outlook 2003? I had purchased the gtd add on, but netcentrics claims that the software is NOT compatible with outlook 2003.... Appreciate hearing about experiences anyone has had with this. Kind regards, Mike R.

I am so pleased to have found this forum. Thanks to all of you for sharing your time and expertise! I have been reading "Getting Things Done" for months on end (don't have time to devote much to it, too many things to do! :wink: ) Now I've worked my way up to the book, GTD audio tapes, Ready for...

I have just read the book and took 2 days off to implement. I had a huge inbox and I had 2 free meal coupons from Boston Market. I hate to throw things away. They were expiring in 4 days. I created a travel file box because I am in my car all day. I created a file named Coupons and put them in it....

GTD methodology fits "stuff" that is either on paper or is a piece of paper or something analagous (computer file). Much of what I need to process, organize and do are objects. Unlike paper that goes in a folder that gets labelled and alphabitized, the objects go to different final destinations...

Hi, I am currently struggling with how to move through Next Actions. In other words, I have several projects with NAs on the list. When I finish a NA is it better to look back at the project for the next action? OR check off the current NA and move to another NA in the context list? The reason I...

I get this question all the time, here in the office. "Is it worth attending the GTD public seminar if I've read the book/listened to GTD Fast?" I attend most of our public seminars and have been noticing that more and more seminar participants are already familiar with the information, they've...

i'm sure this question has been asked before, so i apologize for duplicating it, but how long do you spend on your weekly review excluding any time you use to get your inbox empty, or other tasks that prepare you to be able to do your weekly review. thanks

Managing project support materials is one area of the GTD system that I've never gotten comfortable with - in particular, the paper support materials. I follow the "plan B" method for managing them from the book - I separate them from my reference files and keep them close by. It works great when...

Hi, I'm a newbie. I've been searching the forum but couldn't find clear answers for my 2 questions: 1. What do I do to prevent my action list grow too long (=longer than 50)? most of my next actions are job related and therfore go to "at office" (so any other list like "at computer" is...

Hello everybody, I am a brand new user, just got done reading GTD. I have a couple of questions: On my projects list, all of these projects have next actions. Should these next actions be written on both the projects list ("under" the project in which it is a next action) and on my "Next...
