Ratz,

thanks for this great post. Very helpful.

Where do you put your Someday/Maybe List in the Coordinator?
In the Projects/Goals section? Or Reference?

In both cases one could say: "It's better to have AI than to have no I at all"!
:)

Brent, what used to be my @work context list is now my AF list for my work location (aka office).
The AF list gets reviewed weekly like the former @work list did.

Currently I have two tweaks for...

C'mon, Mike. There's nothing strange about Autofocus. It's simple psychology.
While GTD wants you to use your self-discipline when you work and eventually use your "intuition", Autofocus tells you...

Autofocus might be an alternative for people who have problems with GTD's contexts.

Simply prune your GTD projects list and your contexts lists down to what is your current work, and put your...

That's a great point you are raising here, TesTeq.

Do I prefer to think like somebody else? No, not at all.
But I can learn from someone else's experience and take what is useful for me.

Of course GTD is not OCD. But the way some people use GTD sometimes resembles OCD.

Or, in brief:
When you use Autofocus you are allowed to not only have actions or next actions on one list, but also tasks, mini-projects, sub-projects, projects, goals, and questions on that same...

No, I'm not the author.

But it's great stuff, indeed.

If you set an action goal, and the emotions ingrained in your body don't agree, you have almost no chance to move on. But you can change...

Thanks for sharing!

The Zurich scientists Storch and Krause have develloped Gollwitzer's Rubicon Modell into what they call the 'Rubicon process'. Please read the article at

If portability is the main concern then you should perhaps think about certain briefcases (e.g. pilot cases) instead of file boxes and hanging folders.

Of course you can use hanging folders without using manila folders. Actually everybody I personally know does so. But then you have to decide what to do if you have to put two stacks of papers that...

Vexir,

almost all of my manila file folders are in hanging file folders. Otherwise I would have the same problem like you have now.

One part of the hanging file folders are in my three desk...

Have to admit that having those open-ended areas of focus at the 20,000 feet level never made any sense to me and still doesn't. That's why I used the 20,000 feet level for my current...

Not necessarily. You could take a note book with blank pages and use two pages per day, left page @work, right page @home, two contexts per day. The two contexts would then equal the two big chunks...

Sounds like Mark Forster's "Current Initiative" from "Do It Tomorrow".
Have tried this for several private projects for some weeks. It works great.
You work on a project the first thing in the...

My default next action for brainstorming tasks is "write note re: project ...."
This reminds me that I need a piece of paper and a pen, think about that project, and write down my thoughts.

One reason why some parts of GTD don't work for some people seems to be that GTD can't answer the question "Where and when do I start with which work?".

The way I answer this question for me is...

Call it your 'List of Day-Specific Actions' and the GTD police won't notice what you're doing.;)
