I suggest making an area of focus that is something like "Take care of myself" or whatever resonates with you. Just that much will remind you of the need to protect yourself, but it will also lead to...

Oh, that is so cool. That will simplify note taking and processing for me a lot. Thanks!

I like Drafts too. I have it set up to repopulate in Reminders a shopping list for my parents and also a packing list. I think this is a great feature. My only wish is that it could process a...

Thanks, both are well-known to me, but that's not simple enough for me right now. I've found that assigning next actions to projects just slows me down. This is exacerbated in OF by several things:...

I didn't mean to imply to anyone that I was not happy to receive advice.
I am generally very good at exploring the dark corners of software, tough.
Like my natural ability to write bland,...

What I've done with software that does not have start dates is set up a digital list called "Ticklers" and then make the equivalence due date on tickler = start or reminder date. I then don't look at...

Or my grocery list. Good find!

There's no one answer that's right for everybody. It depends on how you like to work and what your tools are. If you have an electronic list tool that is ubiquitous, then you might want a tickler...

I have very little paper moving around in my system, but it's difficult to get rid of all of it. Here's what I use:

My bag has just three things in it most days: an iPad, the Davidco folder set...

Thanks for your suggestions. I'm actually very familiar with OmniFocus and it's features. One thing I tried recently was to configure it so that contexts are projects. There's a desk project and a...

Several reasons, I guess, but fundamentally I think it kind of repels me. It has a lot of good features but the desktop UI is cluttered (2.0 might be better), and sync is slow. Project assignment is...

I have been using Things for a while, basically since the beta prior to the 2.0 release.
It's worked well, with fast syncing, and I had found a simple implementation that
was very vanilla and very...

FWIW, I think they only sort of compete. Mindjet makes a feature-rich mind-mapping tool. If you are at all familiar with mind-mapping, you can get started easily and learn features as needed....

I still have this list (in Evernote) I found several years ago on a blog called Murtworld. I don't consciously use the different strategies, but it was helpful to me in developing my intuition:
...

I think they are both obsolete on OS X and iOS, because there are programs that may do less but are simpler, more effective and cheaper.

It would help you, but cause problems. There are lots of reasons not to let people edit mail that other people have sent them. Aside from possible legal implications, it would mess up message...

Hi Mark, I sent you a private message with my contact info. Not that I'm hard to find

Yes! David Allen as the Besht- I can totally see it. Or maybe Orthodox, Conservative and Reform GTD'ers?Reconstructionists too! Perhaps we can have sectarian discord too! :)

[The Besht was the...

Yes, we don't let the four criteria get in the way. We are conscious of the role that our location, time, energy and priorities play and manage them accordingly.




You seem to be setting up...

Yes, Kelly has mentioned many times how she will "snack on her lists." David Allen has been even more clear: having lists can make it ok to do things that were never on any list. There's no...
