My employer limits the size of our email accounts, so I need to keep it clear. Whether or not you move it out of the inbox, you need a reliable way to mark whether you've processed each mail. My...

Cats? Rams? This is all getting a bit zoological...

Are we heading down a rabbit trail?

Two years is a period I have heard quoted from a number of people as the time it takes for all the key habits to really bed themselves in to the point where you don't think about them any more. I...

Mike, Mike, Mike he said ever so many times, graciously waving his tail, (oops, missed one... Mike),

You AFers keep telling us to try AF out before commenting. That's all very well, but for how...

I suspect that this is one of those distinctions that seems blindingly obvious at stupid o'clock and seems a bit fuzzier in the cold light of day. The train of thought was something like:

It wasn't Mike who brought up the question of a tendency towards OCD like behaviour. And yes, it is more of a simile than an analogy.

If it is important to you to group actions by project, you can always add a category for each project and view your tasks grouped and summarised by category. If your contexts are in the format...

I find it helps to be clear about the specific deliverables on each project and track the next one on your "waiting for" list, with an expected date. You may want a separate list for these, so you...

I used to break down my agenda by person. Now, I have a single agenda list and start each action with the name and a colon. Typically, actions meander between phone, agenda, waiting, pc...

I have a separate task for each action, starting with the name (and, for @phone, the phone number) of any people concerned. Then it is straightforward to filter by initial letter (in PI) or sort...

I assume that they have some evidence, (it's their job, not mine). But let's see what they have to say for themselves.

If you stoop a laptop a lot, over the long term you are putting your neck at risk. Our health and safety team got me a nice folding stand and so on, the ES/FLEXKIT, available through:

I seem to recall that the Time Design paper system recommended highlighting cinpleted tasks rather than erasing or crossing them off. The rational was to highlight accomplishments rather than the...

Jamie,

I guess the theory is that you assess whether the input requires a project when you process it. At that point, you either recognise that it belongs with an existing project or you don't. ...

Kenn,

I think the blackbelt criteria really mean that your overall workflow system mustn't fall apart wherever you are. "Fall apart" means that:
- your task list is no longer trustworthy
- you...

There is also the small matter of portability.

For those of us in the UK, it's nice to be ahead of the Big Shiny Land Beyond the Seas for once.

Dave,

The basic answer is "yes" to all of the above. (you can synch any type of file, though not all will run on the pocket machine).

But remember, many people find it quite slow and painful...

Well spotted,Rainer!

I wouldn't have called these changes obvious at all.

How about:

"XYZ contact page added"
?

I keep the tasks open in a window in the left half of the screen. I keep my tasks grouped by context (category). Then when I drag a mail, I can drag it straight into the right context.
