Yes! This is the definition of a Project Support file.

It took me a little while to figure out why this question seemed so weird. Taking another look at the Workflow cleared it up for me.

According to the Workflow, here's how something ends up in...

The way I've implemented this: my stack of Project folders is my Project List.

Put it where you can do something about it. Write it on your plates, on the fridge, and in whatever contexts that provide you the opportunity to change your behaviours.

I personally would tend not to find any value in putting things like this into any part of GTD. But there's probably no compelling reason not to shove it into AoF either.



Cheers,
Roger

Fortunate for us, then, that GTD is not a system for building a list of all possible options of what one could do.



Cheers,

Sure, but the only person who has brought up "at all times" is you.

If that were the way GTD was designed to operate, there would be little utility in the Weekly Review.

But it's a great criterion for deciding where to keep something, in my experience.

It hasn't caught up with me yet. Someday, maybe.

It's a good candidate for offsite storage, if that tempts you.

I sort of "cheat" here insofar as I don't really purge anything as much as move it from active storage into inactive storage. So keep that in mind.

My thought process is: Did I use this at all...

I haven't actually tried this technology myself, so take this with a grain of salt, but it seems like there are "digital pens" out there which automagically scan and OCR your notes as you take them,...

This is just me, but I usually stop as soon as I find something I want to do. I'm not sure if that's strictly a deviation from GTD or not. Anyway, it works for me.




No, there is not.

I think it'll be helpful to take a look at the process:

The process you're suggesting is vastly-simplified -- basically all that...

Weekly reviews are a bit of a strange beast, in my opinion. It contains a number of different pieces which are not really related to each other, except by virtue that they're all things you should...

The rule of thumb that I use is: projects end. Someday you'll be able to say, "Yep, done with that." Generally (but not always) Areas of Focus are not like that. You're not going to say "Yep,...

It's a bit cheesy, but in a book called "The Four Agreements" by Ruiz, the first agreement is to "be impeccable", by which he literally means "to be without sin."

His basic idea is that if you...

I was pretty terse! Let me unpack that a bit.

I think that GTD intentionally embraces the notion that "important" and "not important" basically have no useful meaning.

Here's some of the...

That's a good start, but I'd really like to hear more about the actual specific long-term goal(s) that you're not seeing any progress on.

Perhaps I ask too much! No one likes to discuss their...

I believe this is by design.

What specific problems have you encountered?
