I read through this post David Allen's Universalism and I think this person totally misses the point of GTD. For me GTD is about capturing all my ideas, big and small. Buy toilet paper is a small...

I don't know if you can control how much energy you have throughout the day. Perhaps with more exercise you can increase it somewhat, but there is always a limit. The best way to deal with this is to...

Thanks for the ideas. I'm going to try adding an @email list again so I can batch process that like I do my @call list.

Yes, that was one of the things I tried, updating everything to the latest version. Still no luck.

This is a very good point, I don't want to spend the whole day checking and sending email. One problem I have with an @computer list is most things I do involve using a computer. I think the @work...

I've been trying evernote for a week now and I still can't get over the fact that they are still not in sync. I've tried everything to get them to sync up, but iPad, iPhone and Mac all have different...

When I first started GTD, I had all the standard contexts, computer, email, online, etc. But now that I have my iPhone with me wherever I go and I have Internet access pretty much anywhere, I find...

Definitely do not use email to store your next action lists. Use the Reminders app that comes standard with the iPad.

For awhile I tried to accomplish Inbox Zero in both my work and personal email systems. I was successful, but decided that actually moving the emails out of the Inbox was wasted effort. Now I use the...

This is exactly why I do it. My next action lists are too long to have to read through them each time I finish a task. I also have the most energy in the morning so I will make the best decisions...

I know it is not orthodox GTD thinking, but I find a Today list to be really invaluable. Each morning I go through all of my next action lists and add between 3 - 5 things to my Today list. I think...

After posting my message, I decided to spend some time playing around with Evernote to see what it can do. I have it on my Macbook and iPad. I put in a number of notes, added some tags, etc. I then...

For several years now I have used Dropbox for my reference files and project support material. Most of these are plain text files that I edit on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. I also have various other...

For years I have used the Omnifocus apps on my Mac and iPhone. The learning curve was steep, but I became a master. Even though I was really good at using it, I always felt a certain unease with the...

I used this for some time, but it really slowed me down and then I abandoned it. The key is really the Weekly Review. If you go through all of your NAs once a week it's almost always obvious what...

I'm thinking about giving a try for one month. I can certainly afford a one time outlay of $50. Sounds like some interesting stuff is in there.

Thanks,
Jason

I paid for the Outlook and Entourage papers. I use Outlook at work and Entourage at home. They were very helpful, and reasonable at $10.

Isn't $50 a month a little steep for Connect? What do...

One thing that David mentioned in the podcast above, is that he would come in early to the gas station that he managed (!), and process all of his stuff, before the day of interruptions begins. So I...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just did my weekly review in a conference room. I reserved the room for an hour. I printed out all of my Action Items and Projects in outlook. I went to the room...

I've been doing GTD for a little over a year now. I've always resisted doing the long term planning that David recommends. This week, during my review, I decided to give it a try. So I sat down to...
