For me, “increase our sales” would be a goal mostly because to do that would require multiple projects (or sub projects if you want to call them that).

However even as a goal this is too vague to...

Since it has to do with a specific time of the day it needs to be on your calendar, not in your action management system. It very easy to schedule these kinds of things in modern calendar...

Explaining the Horizons of focus in better detail was one of the main purposes for David's third book "Making It All Work." It's about as good as it gets.

If your like me, you already have enough...

I'd like to second TesTeq. With things I am used to and familiar with, I don't need projects or often even NAs because other factors will trigger the actions. Routines are easy and when you're good...

I've been working on a similar problem for the past year and a half and I'm certainly not finished but some things I've learned along the way:

1) areas of focus help you maintain balance in your...

Just do it.

"Switch to Mac" was one of the best things I did as far as computing. I am a linguist and the major benefits for me are that the screens don't give me eye strain, the theming is...

Forgive my ignorance of your situation but if the tickets are already being processed and handled for you, why would you need to track them? Isn't the system doing that already for you? The only...

As I live with other people my next action at this point would be to plan with "other person(s)" and schedule a time to paint. For me it's the next step to be able to keep all my commitments to both...

The differences between Mac and PC are nowhere near what IT tells you. The main thing that helped me when I learned Mac was the video tutorials. Apple has many on their site and they are short,...

It sounds like you have resistance to your system, hence the reason you review so infrequently. I noticed that when I don't want to look at my lists, it's because I know (implicitly, not explicitly)...

I agree with the previous comments about Areas. Some of the things your list are, in truth, Areas of Focus. However, my comment refers mostly to your "laundry" item.

Nice thread and thanks for asking the question and for the great responses.

I had/have this problem as well and the "spouse" task list really doesn't work. She has actually said that she never...

Besides my weekly review, I have about 30 min to 1 hour of scheduled daily review time. I'm constantly working off my lists so there's all sorts of review going on there. But my life right now...

Please allow me to answer more questions than you asked. ;)

Just an idea but I would convert, scan, transfer as much as possible to digital and then archive it that way. It's much easier to deal...

I use routine lists for stuff like that. I have a few routine lists. They change periodically but my daily routine list typically contains things like scripture reading, exercise, reading with my...

I don't schedule NA unless they have to be scheduled, like meetings, trips, movie times, church, etc. other than that everything is discretionary time. I've just built in a habit to check my lists at...

For me that's exactly what the A-Z reference is for. Random stuff you want to have easily accessible when the random occurrence happens. Two ways I deal with Internet based things like this.

I've been diagnosed with ADHD too and have had all the same problems you describe. It's been about three years since I started following GTD and it' has changed my life. My wife says it's actually...

I usually chose the next action that will give me the most benefit/the most urgent/what is pulling my attention the most/etc. I keep following the trail that comes after that next action until I...

I'm a freelancer and if I don't do the work I'm contracted to do, then I don't get paid. If an employee isn't doing their work, then you should explain to them what the consequences are, like getting...
