I work with confidential patient data constantly in my job as a statistical analyst in healthcare research, so my work systems are very tightly controlled. I cannot synch outside devices or programs...

Hi,

Nothing in GTD says you can't park a reminder on your calendar that you have a deadline. I often put a simple reminder on my calendar ahead of an important due date like "Output data for...

I call mine "1Upcoming Events". In Lotus Notes, I can very quickly move an email from my inbox to this folder using keystrokes. I put the "1" in front so I can hit a single key to select the folder...

One of the things that really stuck with me from David's GTD Fast CDs was when he talked about how to determine what the next action really is.

The question he asked (paraphrased) was "If you had...

I use Lotus Notes at work, so I set my system up based on the GTD white paper from a few years ago. It works great, but I really resisted taking the time to review and update next actions on the...

I too used to hate my weekly review. Now I find myself getting up early on Thursday morning (even before my alarm clock rings at 5 am!) totally excited about doing my weekly review. I think this...

I too have discovered the wonders of those little notebooks. Living near San Francisco, you never go out without a jacket, so I've put a notebook and pen in each of my jacket's pockets (summer...

Like others, I find my tickler file to be an integral part of my life. Things in my file include:

1. Daily/Weekly housecleaning tasks --These include tracking of how many consecutive times I've...

For me, having a piece of paper with the task on it and a space for counting how many consecutive days I've done it works really well. I put the paper in my inbox on day one. The next morning when...

I've been learning and practicing GTD for about three years now, and the prioritizing issue has come up a lot for me -- and apparently for many others, to judge by many of the threads on this forum....

My tickler file is a very big part of my GTD implementation. Here are a few of the other things I use it for:
