Hi all,

I'm a student who has been using GTD for at least a year now with great success managing my university workload. I've recently taken a part time job as an administration and communications...

Sorry! Double post :(

I haven't been doing this long, but personally if it's a pretty straight forward project I will just keep a list of next actions in my project folder and put the very next action on to my next...

Thanks heaps for the replies. After reading them I have had a good long think about it all. I actually had my breakthrough reading through this thread

Basically what has happened is I have...

I am a University student balancing part time study with full time night work and have been doing GTD for the past 6 months. I have had huge progress and insight in terms of improving my way of...

1) If the task is part of a project I put it in a Gantt chart within project manager. That way I can track when I started, when it is due, how much I have completed and whether I am on track or not....

Yep, checklists!

Daily, weekly and monthly checklists are great for those little (or big) things that you know you should be doing regularly, but still need a reminder for. To avoid having my...

I guess the issue was that when I was coming to my weekly review I was finding that a lot of the things on my next action context lists just weren't getting done, even thought they were very simple...

Yes, unfortunately I don't have anything quite as magnificent as that, but my parents have just bought a feeding scanner with Paperport, so I might have to pay them some loving visits :mrgreen:

Aren't someday/maybe items non-actionable by definition? Don't you ask straight up is this a next action or a someday/maybe? This is exactly what I was confused about.

My understanding was...

It sounds like placing a copy of my next actions list in my tickler file would be really useful. At the moment I have a couple of projects that seem to be taking lots of my time (not all of it), but...

Okay this seems kind of silly but how do you decide what is REALLY actionable? I find myself putting lots of items on my projects or next actions lists because they ARE actionable but then weeks...

So just for clarity, in my case I would take all the sheets out of the plastic folder, bind them in some way and put them straight into the plastic files?

I like the idea about copying the inside...

I do really need to keep them because at some stage I will need to review it all. I can get hold of some plastic file boxes for free and I did consider that but wanted to get some confirmation first....

I am just starting to implement GTD and as a result I am currently going through heaps of back-logged stuff. I have just come across a heap of folders full of reference material for work that are...

I'm new to GTD and have not read the book in question, but from what has been said here I would definitely feel that it's all about how you personally approach GTD. This all reminds me of Einstein as...

Total agreement here. I am only just implementing GTD, but have been on Linux for some time now. So far I have had no problems finding adequate tools. I personally prefer Thunderbird over Evolution...

I have one favourite pen that follows me everywhere and all the rest of my stationary lives in a small tool/tackle box with heaps of compartments. Seems to fit everything in neatly and sits on my...

I've just started implementing GTD and I had exactly the same issue! I have settled for full cut manila folders, which seem to work okay. 1/3 cut ones would be nice though! Are we really that...
