Due the abundance of information out there about "Getting Things Done" (GTD), David & Co. has responded with a web page that provides an official definition of this term: http://www.davidco.com/what_is_gtd.php

I'm new to PALM and recently bought the PALM ZIRE .I have set up categories in the To Do list to include projects alongside @Context lists.I like the idea of having a next action view for each project eg PROJECT A --draft summary @.Write. Now,i open up the project Note for planning subsequent...
That's Great GTD is now in paperback. Seem to remember there was a Leveraging Focus and Vision book in the pipeline, any update on that ?
I am embarking on the GTD adventure and am asking for a few tips. My goal is to succeed with this system and any tools / techiniques I use should help this process. I am working on the computer a lot of the day, connected to the internet. Commute is by mass transit, with a Palm Pilot. Various...
Happy New Year all GTD-ers! Ideas please. I've really worked on trying to get a handle on my current projects vs someday/maybe, and have discovered a sort of in-between category: definite projects, but not on the immediate/short term list. So step one, once I realized they weren't exactly...
What are people doing with an item that you take out of “in”, is “actionable”, will take longer than 5 minutes, but needs to be dealt with today? It doesn’t seem that filing it or putting it in a “tickler” file would work, and back into “in” is forbidden.
I'm embarrassed to say that after a year of trying to implement GTD, this morning I did my first weekly review. Part of the problem was that I was trying to do them on Friday afternoons. I get too distracted tying up the loose ends from the week and dont get it done (or even started). My work has...
Just noticed that I haven't seen David's "Incompletion Trigger List" on the site for a while. Have there been any updates to it since it was last published? Might be a cool idea to keep it online somewhere - it's a vital part of my Weekly Review, and I'm sure it would be a big boost for new GTD...
What are some of your practices for handling "Waiting For..." items? For example, say that your @NA is to "Call John Smith re: Revenue Report". You call John, and he says "I'll run the report and send it to you tomorrow". Ok, so your @Next Action is done and ready to be "checked off"; you...
GTD was recommended by a long-time colleague. He seemed pretty happy with his progress on his business, as was I. He told me about GTD, and just for fun, I purchased the audio CD's. I spend almost 2 hours in the car each day, so I find that a great way to get my "reading" in. After about 2 of...
I've been transitioning to the GTD system over the past 6 weeks and have experienced outstanding results. I am committed and it is making a HUGE difference. I have been focusing on this solely as a "private victory" endeavor but it is amazing how others within my work system (direct reports, boss,...
I am, as are many others, just starting the GTD system :o . One confusion I have is how to synchronize between home and office and mobile workstations. This is especially important to me because I telecommute and travel often. I am in the I.T. world, so the majority of my "Stuff" is electronic;...

How do you know whether some items belong on the action list or the 'hard landscape'? For example, I am in charge of creating and distributing a major report each week. This report must be completed by 2pm on Fridays. I usually start on the report first thing Friday morning and finish it within...
Hi, I do have many clients and about 400+ active cases for those clients. I get each year about 250 to 300 new cases. Each case is a physical file. All files are stored in the same location, sorted by filename. The files come to my desk when a scheduled meeting is due, mail came in, the file is...
Hi all! Those of you who use paper version of gtd, what kind of paper implementation do you prefer? I mean physic stuff: standar paper planners, made-to-measure planners, plain notebook, blank pages in forlders… And I mean also procedures and methods. I know that the best tool is the tool...
I´ve read somwhere that David says there´s three kinds of work: predefined work; work to do as it appears; and definig work to be done. In my case –I´m a journalist–, I have few predefined work (just one repetitive monthly project) and a lot of work to be done as it appears. There are many 2...
How are people handling projects with no predefined end point, like exercising? I want to address it as a regular part of my schedule, but I have no goal so to speak, other than doing it. Thanks, Charlie
I just checked the web site for Canyon Ranch my favorite spa. They have a website for people who have stayed at Canyon ranch with info etc. The book of the month is Getting Things Done
Hi! My question is quite simple: what are "old free-standing files" exactly? which is the difference w/ pendaflex? I live in Europe and i can not figure out what does it mind? David talks a lot about that in his book but there aren´t any pictures. can you show me? thanks
