Community Forums: PUBLIC: Discuss Getting Things Done

Just curious; if any RVers (Recreational Vehicles/Campers owners) both Full Time & otherwise retired or employed are using GTD. Any if you do, how has it helped?

Until recently, I have just been using Outlook for GTD and printing lists off whilst out and about, managing Agendas by creating an Outlook Category called @Agenda's and creating a single Outlook Task for each person or meeting, I then added into the notes section what I needed to discuss with that...

GTD methodology was mentioned in the hilarious "No Agenda" podcast (NA-146-2009-11-08). Famous MTV presenter Adam Curry uses GTD and talks about it with columnist John C. Dvorak. Warning! This podcast can be dangerous for people without any sense of humor! :-)

I think they can, and if so, how do we get it out? Morning, all, I have been a big fan, and am pretty comfortable with the GTD process in its own way for myself, I have shared a few tips with those around me that seemed interested and seems to help. This morning I was taking a moment to read...

It allow you to be completely “in the moment”. This is a wonderful thing. Many books have been wrote on the subject of being in the moment and achieving that state yet most still tussle with it. I find it funny that GTD (all though indirectly) helps you achieve this state of mind. You cant be in...

Remove this post if if it causes displeasure, but I suspect that more GTDers than not will enjoy: http://www.wbgo.org/listennow/wbgo_8000.asx Somtimes you hve to stop and smell the flowers.

Hi folks, The most recent episode of the GTD Virtual Study Group live call is available for download. By request, we revisited mindmapping this week. In this episode, hear host & facilitator Tara Rodden Robinson (yea, that'd be me) give a guided tour to how she uses mindmaps to organize...

Hi All, I'm looking for a GTD trainer in melbourne, Australia, for a 3 hour powerful session in January. The session will be key in getting a cohort of young people to address educational disadvantage, in an innovative new programme. This request is valid until mid-december '09. all the...

Hi Seeking assistance and guidance from fellow GTD users. I having been trying to work out the best way to keep track of actions, meeting notes, prep notes for meetings etc. Actions can come from me or from meetings I attend. Often an action needs to be discussed/actioned by me working with...

Hi There, Does anyone know a way I can print outlook tasks so that each category prints on a separate page? I have searched the web and found nothing so far. I currently have the task list as 'master list' with just the uncompleted tasks and the category showing. The list is sorted by...

Reading through some GTD blogs and ran across something that made a huge lightbulb go off in my head: I have adapted this concept of contexts to suit my situation as a home manager. Our week is roughly divided into “themed” days. Monday is Laundry Day, Tuesday is for running Errands,...

Ok for years I've had in my finder the following: Desktop, Documents, Photos, Music, Movies, Systems Pref., Me, Applications. Ok and I also use iphoto separately on my doc. Now I'm trying to reorganize this "mess" the GTD way. I've got a good desktop system to filter each item that I have to do...

Guys what's the difference between the original GTD book and the latest version "making it all work"? All I've read from reviews is its just a rehash of the first one, that it's a great refresher for anyone procrastinating on GTD original etc. Most say if you are new just stick with the first one...

David Allen in GTD Times says: "Q: I think email is becoming a two-headed monster. It is vital but more and more people ignore them, don’t read fully etc. How can we move forward with accomplishing goals in this environment? Are there ideas you can offer regarding effective corporate...

I know that GTD was conceived for the busy executive so I'm sure there must be some built in ways to handle my situation. I am absolutely committed to the @waiting context. If I ever fall off the GTD wagon I'll still use @waiting. As a manager, I don't know how I'd work without it. I'm probably...

set up in GTD. I mean not using hanging files. I would love NOT to use hanging files for the reason GTD mentions. 1.) One file in one hanging folder does take up allot of room in the cabinet. Is that the only objection? The hassle of finding a partitioning cabinet system to get the files to...
