Hi RichB,

Thanks for writing in and being part of our forum community. You raise a good question. At this time, the forum software only has the capability of looking for single key words, not...

Hi Heiko,

I think some people get bogged down in making sure they answer everything all in one sitting. Personally, I like to look through everything first, process certain emails into next...

Hi Macgrl,

This question comes up a lot. I am not a GTD Coach, but I can tell you that I personally handle this one of two ways. I either put a reminder in my calendar, or put a reminder in my...

Hi Human,

I frequently look back and wonder how my life would have been different had I known about GTD when I was in college. I think for me, personally, just having the projects piece would...

This is a great question. The way I do it is when I create a project, I will do a quick mind sweep of all the actions that will need to be completed and write them down in a checklist format (which...

Whatever song is currently inspiring me in life. This week it's "Hunger Song" by the Middle East. (also a great driving song). Don't stop thinking about tomorrow by Fleetwood Mac is a great one!

Hi New2gtd,

I can completely relate to your plight, I think a lot of members can. One suggestion I can make from personal experience is to not be afraid of the delete button. Take the two minute...

Hi Cotton178,

This is a great question. I can share the way that I handle things that are 'pending' due to money.

If there is something that I know I am going to be able to be purchase in...

Hi Solyanov2011,

I Do agree with many of our members on this one, that Areas of Focus are the bigger "bucket" for the list of tasks and projects you mentioned in your original post. Some examples of my Areas of...

This is a great question and I am happy to share how I approach this.

If this is someone I know I would DEFINITELY see once a month but don't necessarily have a set time, I would make them a...

Hi Lord Cope,

Interesting question! I do think that it does something for me to have the in tray on top of the desk for a few reasons:

-It gets my attention when I walk in, so it reminds me I...

Hi Kornet,

Some have already said it, but I definitely go with the rule of not creating a project unless more than one action is involved. I have many single actions on my list that do not need a...

Hi!

As some of our other members advised, these are the types of things that I definitely put into my calendar. I don't put it in as a note or reminder, I physically block those hours to ensure...

Hi Benjamin,

After reading your post I am wondering how you are doing with your projects list. I know that personally, when I do a mind sweep, a lot of the time 5 or more actions could be related...

Hi,

Well if this were me, I would make sure this is a project (first easy step). In creating that project, I would make a mind map of all the parts that need to be included in the paper and...

Wow Bob,
Thank you so much for this. I am so inspired by your story, as are many here at the David Allen company.

Good for you for taking initiative to do your job with such focus and...
