I have to regretfully agree with Richard.

I found much of GTDLive to be nearly verbatim from GTDFast.

Also, the narrator summaries were superfluous and distracting.

If you use the traditional "L" shaped bookend (and get the heavy duty ones at an office supply store) they'll work pretty well if you put them in backwards (at least it seems backwards to me).
...

I struggled with this too until I saw this suggestion and had a "duh" moment: Use a simple bookend. I use the metal "L" shaped ones and the work great.

Although it's a bit (maybe alot) more structured than GTD, Julie Morgenstern's Making Work Work and Time Management from the Inside Out address the time-available and energy criteria.

She suggests...

"when was I supposed to actually "create" my next actions for my projects????"

Raymond, this is what the "Processing" stage is for. After your initial mindsweep and collection is complete, just...

I presume the queues you describe relate in some way to the "priority" of the NA in the various lines. However, as DA notes, the priority we assign to tasks may change "moment to moment". So,...

This is an excellent discussion and topic.

As I've noted elsewhere, I sit at a desk in my office >95% of the time, so at least 3-4 context-based lists are always in play. Personally, I find that...

I have to agree with the above comments about "letting go".

The bottom line is that, unless you've got a project for which the NEXT next action is not readily apparent upon completion of the...

I don't think the answer to your question is as clear in the GTD book as it is in the CD set. There, DA says that "only your brain will tie [the NAs and Projects] together, somewhat labor...

I'm not sure if this gets to your points, but I've also gone back and forth on how many context-based lists to have.

My situation is that >95% of my worktime is spent at my desk, with access to my...

The Rotring pen that DA included in their "evening module" notepad wallet telescopes open. When in the closed position, it's very small and would easily fit in a pocket. I'm not sure if it's...

Just to throw another factoid on the Paul, uh I mean film, is dead deal: I understand that the camera places in Walt Disney World are no longer developing film. They will transfer digital pix from...

Another Treo 650 convert here. I switched from a Clie NX-70v.

I preferred the Clie keyboard to graffiti, and although the Treo's keyboard is abit smaller I haven't had a problem with that.

I...

I also noticed the idea in the Julie Morgenstern book about listing the time it'll take to complete each next action.

Contrary to an earlier comment, I don't consider this an "extra level of...

I was interested to see this post today, as I was just thinking about this on the way into work this morning.

I agree with DA about "plain vanilla" sometimes being the best, and so I've avoided...

Thanks E, and here I thought I'd tried everything!

Edward, "alt+r" and arrowing over will move the "cursor" to the other priorities, but I can't find a way to actually "select" those other priorities. I.E., I alt-R and arrow over to "5", but even if...

While we're on this topic, when entering a new "to-do" is there a shortcut to assign a priority other than "1" via keyboard?

It seems like there oughta be, but for the life of me I can't find it...

TesTeq:
As a practical matter, I never have more than 2 (or at most 3) such deadlines in a given day. If I had more than 3 sets of discovery or three motions/responses due on the same day, chances...

Hi Alexander.

There are a number of lawyers, guns & GTD threads on the board, so there are a number of lawyers here, myself included.

Personally, I use the Palm system on my Clie, but have used...
