I was afraid this would happen!! Here's my confession - after feeling great with understanding the concepts of this fantastic approach and setting everything up so it was how i felt 'ready to go' - I got a very very busy spell and it all fell apart. Everything seemed to crash - but the most...

While my week was not so hot in the organisation arena I did have one small victory which I shall report. It was regarding those 'critical calls' - and probably you use it already this system but I'll tell you what worked a tiny bit! I was stretched to the max yesterday but had some critical...

Are there any fellow Recruiters or Exec Search consultants who have experience configuring their work using GTD? Many thanks.

I've searched the archives and have read GTD over and over again, but am not finding the answer I'm looking for. Any guidance or advice would be appreciated. BACKGROUND I've been using GTD for about 2 years now. I work two jobs (one as an employee, the other as a consultant in similar line of...

I would like to know how salespeople are using GTD for Outlook in handling everything for the sales process. Also, if your and ACT user, how do you use ACT.

After 15 or more years with the DaytimerCovey paradigms, I am making a commitment to shift to the GTD model. This is motivated by a change in my job (the change actually occurred 3 years ago and it took me this long to realize the old model wasn't working). I woul dlike to discuss the various tools...

I've been using GtD at work for about a month and am very impresseed with how it's helped me to work more effectively. I feel like I have a handle on what needs to be done. I'm interested in how others set up the GtD procedures in their daily activities. For example - I have a list that I call...

Have about a 2 weeks of GTD under my belt and it's going fantastic. Feeling a new sense of control that I haven't had in years. Started with my first try at a handheld at the same time. (If you're going to jump in, I guess you really should just jump...:) It's a palm 515 that I bought...

I have a gap in my understanding of how GtD manages projects. Follows three problem areas I would like input on. 1. Some projects need new NAs in between WR. (Maybe I should schedule extra project review sessions, thus making sure my NA lists shows all my commitments.) 2. NA lists doesn't give...

I just read "Workflow Coaching in the Home" in the coaches corner and I really want to implement GTD at home as well as I do at work, but I still have one unanswered question. What do I do with all the mundane tasks that have to get done? I'm talking about laundry, vacuuming, testing the smoke...

Hi Everyone, I know this has probably been addressed in the past here... I'm finally ready to break down and make the switch from paper planner to a Palm or pocket PC Right now I only would use it for the calendar, project and list functions, possibly for email in the future. What would...

Being very new to GTD, and totally being sucked into the whole idea of being stress-free AND productive (sounds like an oxymoron to me), I'm interested in dialoging with others who are in a similar position... I'm a mostly stay at home mom, with a busy and evolving home-based business (been in the...

One of the aspects of GTD that fascinates me is David's emphasis on starting from the bottom up rather than from the top down, in contrast to many coaches. At http://www.fastcompany.com/online/34/allen.html he states that: I think I understand what he is saying but would appreciate any...

I have begun to implement the program, but I am having problems seeing how this system can manage a large project with definite deadlines. For example, my husband and I are going to be moving to London in a month. I have a number of projects that all need to get done by then for our move. In...

Hello, When reading the book, David says that you should separate collecting from processing. I can see how it relates to the big startup period when you are trying to get control over all loose ends. But how does it relate to everyday normal stuff? If I get something I need to act on, a...

http://w-uh.com/index.cgi/articles/030308-tyranny_of_email.html In a nutshell, the author recommends checking your email manually when YOU are ready to deal with it - and not have a constant flow of email interruptions throughout the day. A novel idea in this era of always on/instant delivery...

(Duplicate post from Yahoo group. Apologies to those who frequent both.) Any advice on how most effectively/efficiently to remind myself--between weekly reviews--that once I finish a next action I might need to **immediately** go to my project materials for some new next actions? Here's my...
