Havne't posted here much lately, though I do use GTD principles.

A couple of months ago I read an essay by blogger and prolific entrepreneur named Paul Graham excoriating the notion of lists and...

Jamie, thanks for your response regarding your experiences. I have heard from one other acquaintance a similar tale -- and also learned from her that there is indeed some type of physical withdrawal...

I'm well-read and educated on the sundry views enough so that no view would surprise me or, frankly, better inform me about those perspectives. The arguments, the studies -- know it, not looking for...

There have been some volatile threads in the past on psychotherapy and GTD with an occasional nod to the issue of SSRI's.

Don't want to go OT or philosophical: My query relates specifically to...

For anyone who is using Outlook in the Contacts-as-Projects mode discussed in another thread: I gather this is NOT a method to use if one eventually expects to export data for any reason, for...

For our small group, I submit this, from Garrison Keillor's "Writer's Almanac" -- a literary blog on which he posts a daily poem.

Today's entry is, I think, appropriate for GTD'ers everywhere....

I am trying to save Bill's "Contacts as Projects" form (http://home.comcast.net/~whkratz/id15.htm) to my Outlook, but it's not taking.

It's all good until I get to the Projects Properties window...

Ignore this post. There's no apparent way to delete it, so instead you ae being directed away. Go, I say. Read another post. Something with useful information. Well? Why are you still here? ;)

Thanks for the inspiration, QCB, and encouragement. "Learning the lingo" is certainly a project and the first thing I am addressing. As soon as I return to my desk from a meeting, all the terms go...

Thanks, gang. Andersons, your clear and cogent thoughts are, as always appreciated. Actually, one of the first things I did at my new desk was Google the definition of my job title (a seemingly...

Existential Angst Alert: Beware.

I recently started a new job which I feel is both over my head and out of my field. Out of my field because I am, as I once posted here, a freewheeling creative...

Good post, Sonia. I was attempting to explain to my new employer today the appeal of pen and paper and she got it instantly. As I think more and more people will. Rhodia's a different kind of animal...

Thanks, folks. Great replies.

I'm not a techie -- been using a paper planner, but in my new job I've got access to the whole Microsoft suite which I think I will begin using as a Treo is in the offing as well.

Basic question--...

The diagrams we make -- I'm assuming this is a diagram you made (??)-- have some emotional pull beyond their actual value. I have diagrams of projects which never came to fruition (which is what...

Thanks for all the information and resources, Phil, Tes, et al...

Andersons, do you no longer use a PDA? If you have posted the specifics of your Trusted System can you send me a link; I'd be...

The main thing I'd expect a PDA to address is the bulk factor, since my mid-size planner is the size of a hardcover book -- so having something to slip into a shirt pocket sounds convenient. So,...

Starting a new job next week -- stressing, stressing, breathe, breathe -- okay, I'm fine. Really.

Of course by the time next Monday rolls around I want to be the GTD master, king-on-high,...

I'm a newbie and defer to the seniors, but a wild guess is that your weekly reviews are daunting because you are wallowing in the mire of projects which have a psychological appeal for you but for...

I have read some of the obituaries on Peter Drucker and am eager to read his writings, including the article you link to.

What I have taken away from my readings thus far is that he had a humane...
