I'm not there yet, but I'm definitely heading that way. I've just moved my filing cabinet to the attic, for the paper I do have to keep, but I'm trying to resist my packrat tendencies and throw...

That's a great way of putting it. I wouldn't fancy trying to do a 'normal' mindmap in PB, but it works great for linking numerous thoughts. I still use MM more than PB though.

The nice thing about OF is you can rearrange it to make it as cluttered or uncluttered as you like. Remove columns you don't use, hide the sidebar... and save it as a perspective. Change the fonts...

If you do want to go down that route, I'm not sure you can do it in Apple Mail, but take a look at Postbox instead.

Then they've chosen the wrong contexts for their life. I don't need more than a split-second to make that decision.

They provide little value TO YOU. So you don't need to use them. But GTD isn't about tying you to rules. Use the bits that help you, ignore the bits that don't.

You missed one off your list of time wasters. Stop posting on the forums and get on with your top priority. ;)

Some of us find that buying dog food and paying electricity bills are still essential...

If you've thought them through during your weekly review, it doesn't matter if they're completely unrelated. You've already thought about the results you're focused on during your weekly review, and...

If Steve was following the GTD principles properly, he wouldn't have that problem, because he'd be doing his weekly review and the only phonecalls on his @calls list would be ones he really needed to...

If something's not important to you,...

I get where you're coming from - I work from home so almost all of my contexts are always available.

That said, I do still use contexts. Why? Because it makes it easy to batch similar tasks. ...

John, try Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Cookies and HTTP Header Options -> Session Timeout - I'm set to 3600.

I'm not sure this trick will work for the private forums, but Google Site Search works great for searching for public forums.

Try googling

There was a webinar 2-3 years ago, but it doesn't appears to be in the archives.

You might also like to check out Tony Schwartz of The Energy Project. He and David have collaborated in the past, so you'll find some interesting links on Google.

Yeah, I use Sparrow for my iOS work emails (personal ones in normal Mail.app). Works great. Wish it was available for iPad.

I'd ask 2 questions:

1. Is there anything else I need to know before I can make a decision? If so, that's the next action.

2. One of David's questions - when will I be smarter? When do I...

IMHO you've missed a point... YOU decide what goes on your context and project lists.

If you sit down at your weekly review, and decide that "this top priority project" is the one thing you want...
