I am just beginning my process of going through my collection basket and processing. I am setting up a new file system with the 1/3 cut manila files suggested. OK, so when I put my hands on an item and make a file.....? Should I just randomly pick a left tab one, a middle, a right tab next? I...

Here's a great "green" idea for reusing those tear-off calendar pages (approximately 5 1/4" x 4 5/16" in size). Instead of trashing or recycling pages after you tear them off, cut the torn-off pages width-wise and use the scraps of paper to capture ideas and action items. Their size makes them...
Was thinking about doing the 43 folders setup but was resistant to it for some reason and then I think I realized where that resistance came from and now I think I may have a modified solution that might well fit my workflow. Wanted to bounce my thinking off you guys. I’ve posted on another...
I thank David and his staff for making a number of podcasts available at no charge. I’ve downloaded a bunch of them and am working through them and am just curious if others had ones they found particularly helpful. each one I've listened to so far is good, but some are for an audience that is new...
I have been working to implement GTD in my life for about 6 to 8 months now). I find that I have a hard time with the review and making the decision if I should keep/drop projects. I think this maybe do to the fact that I have been mostly focusing on the runway and 10000 feet levels (projects and...
The one thing that is really tripping me up in implementing GTD is the daily "maintenance" that my next actions seem to require. I am a project manager in a technical environment. One thing I do is oversee the handling of specific support cases that are submitted by my users and worked on by an...

I searched the forum archives to see if this had come up, probably has, but I'm not seeing anything. My apologies if I'm asking something that has been repeatedly addressed. I have 2 small businesses, one where we actually have a physical office I go to every day and where I spend the majority...
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to bill time using GTD? I'm a marketing consultant with 9 clients and am constantly replying to emails from clients and doing small tasks (some are less than 2 minutes) throughout the day. I often don't take the time to write down the time but will get to...
If you’re a GTD Connect member, does the site force you to access them the same way it does for the free articles on the main site? On the main site, you have to “buy” each article one at a time, go through the whole checkout process, you can’t “buy” multiple articles, then you get 3 emails for...
Hi all, IMO, most inputs in this forum are very valuable, but still it can improve if they go together with a little of context. May I ask for 1 min. of your time to fill those 3 fields ? ( Case of you do it, could you be so kind to inform in this Thread ?. Thank You ) .
Hi, I was curious as to what size notebooks most are using when taking notes and do you keep it in the same capture "device" as your context lists? I have the Circa letter foldover leather notebook, and wasn't sure if it made sense to keep a notes tab and collect everything in one place along with...
My preferred note taking tool is OmniOutliner, and I'll sometimes use MindManager for brainstorming during meetings. My OO notes are pretty much "stream of consciousness", just capturing what's said as it's said. I go back after the meeting and review the notes for action items. MM and OO have...
I’m a fan of GTD and I try to follow GTD processing for my various inputs, with varying degrees of success. I’ve probably taken GTD and modified it a bit from it’s purest incarnations and I'm making it work, but I have this nagging feeling that I don’t know what I don’t know and if I knew more or...
hello! so i'm an avid gtd user, but i'm having a little problem with upkeep of my digital inboxes. i have a physical inbox on my desk, which is great. it is the one location everything goes into, so it's easy for me to work through and keep an eye on so it doesn't overflow when life gets...

I'm new to GTD. I was a follower of Covey for years but some things just didn't work in real life. GTD has filled in those areas. However, I don't understand what David is advocating for a filing system. It seems he suggests 2: one for projects and one simply labeled A-Z. How does this work in real...
Hi all. I'm a production manager for a promotional product company and i want to implement GTD. I am slightly struggling with how to integrate the system with the volume of projects. I have currently 80 jobs in production which equates to 80 manilla folders in stand up files on my desk....
