Yeah, I agree with what Paul wrote - thanks! :)

For me, it gets difficult too if it's not really my own heart's desire but actually what someone else has been pushing me to do... Or if there are...

Great thread!! :)

HappyDude, if you're in China, check out if there's a local tai chi group? (Maybe even one that practices indoors?) My sis enjoyed one very much!!

She was in a very polluted...

I think it depends what we are talking about.

For a 'daily' list 5-7 seems about right (depending on what they are too, some people prefer less or more), you can put more stuff on weekly or...

Hey Coleman!

Have you assigned too many things into your 'to-do'/action/projects lists?

I remember getting physically ill when I felt there was TOO MUCH STUFF that I 'needed' to do... The GTD...

Well, for me, 'wild success' has proven helpful - eg I was giggling at the thought of a particular professor at the Uni being enthusiastic about my work - and then he really was! :)

I also like...

Okay, at first I was really obsessing about the file folders too, and researched online and on this forum etc.

What I found shocked me: it's not about the folders (or cabinets), it's about the...

Great thread!

I wish I knew before that having daily and weekly (and monthly etc) lists is okay with GTD! I somehow thought it was not true GTD and tried to do with contexts only, didn't work for...

Well, it seems to work best for me if I have a monthly list (i.e. 'needs to be done this month/fixed time/wish to do it this month'), weekly and daily lists (basically lists of priorities, everything...

Hide chocolate in the deep bottom of the inbox/es. Seriously. :)

Very interesting!! (I have now a slightly different system, as the binder didn't work for me, I may use some of your tips though! eg I like double-tagging a piece of paper for 2 different things,...

Hm, don't really have any answers, just wanted to say I do something similar sometimes and it was confusing to me too, how to keep track of things. Still tweaking the systems..

Basically I just...

lol, thanks! I guess it's true! :)

I realized I have now too many tiny card-folders, so might need to tweak that a little too.

Realized my 'action lists' were really 'maybe later' or 'to...

OMG! I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

Great answers everyone! Some really COOL ideas and solutions!

Okay, I would like to address the negative associations too.
Sometimes...

Okay, what worked best for me while studying, was to make overview of the study material, ideally to have an 'index' or 'table of contents' (or, I wrote one! :)) and then to go over that, maybe...

I had A LOT of contexts at first too, and then reduced them (paper-based). Just divided the piece of paper into different areas eg for internet @Google (things to research) @e-mail etc. Then cleaned...

Ooh, I miss you guys too! :) I was thinking about maybe joining again, to revamp my GTD!
my for-profit projects haven't been so profit-able yet (mostly focused on the non-profit ones, they seemed to...

Ooh, great answers already!!

This is what I wrote before I got distracted by twitter etc! :) (and had to log in again)

Maybe you are doing it from a wrong end? For instance, I found it...

Hi Siobhan and thanks!

I was wondering how this could be linked together, just came across this book and the concept of Focal Points today. I'm a scanner/renaissance soul too :)
So that may be...

Hey guys! Thanks!

No, it hasn't become a habit yet! :) You are right!

Furthermore, I hated the damn lists, lol! :) And continued to ignore them!

So.. what did I do? After analyzing the...

I found that I'm very visual and that I best remember things if I have specific locations for them.
One big binder with all the lists (@calls, @net etc) and agendas didn't really work for me. (You...
