I got an advert from David Allen on the new GTD Workflow Map (https://secure.davidco.com/store/catalog/GTD-Workflow-Map-with-Coaching-DVD-NEW-p-16554.php), but was a bit gobstruck at the $50 price...

A few years ago I bought the now-out-of-print Getting Things Done Fast CD audio of a GTD seminar. It's very good. I now see that there is a GTD Live CD audio of a seminar. Could anyone tell me how...

Any chance you could divert to an empty conference room or a local coffee house for 15-20 minutes before entering the firestorm at work? The thought being that if you have a place where you don't...

I don't think you can. I think all add-ins are relegated to the Add-Ins tab in The Ribbon of Office 2007. The one good thing is that the GTD toolbar remains visible, so at least you can trigger the...

Are you doing it because it's a one-off action, or is it part of a recurring (eg, monthly) activity, or is it part of a larger project (eg, doing a financial review). If it's monthly, say, you could...

Merlin Mann in 43Folders has a great post on similar issues, which he called "cringe busting" your to do list (http://www.43folders.com/2005/05/23/cringe-busting-your-todo-list/). The idea is that...

I use the Subproject functionality infrequently. Where I have found it useful is for complex projects, where you can be moving simultaneously on multiple fronts at the same time. I used this, for...

I feel your pain. I struggle with this question of contexts, since so much of my work is on a computer. I have recently gone from having @Computer-Work and @Computer-Home contexts to @Computer and...

The initial implementation of GTD can be truly overwealming. You are in good company.

I would reiterate that you need to treat the initial collection, processing, organizing phase as a multi-step...

As I use Outlook for my GTD system, what I tend to do with both Projects and S/M's is when I write the item down is first I (try!) to write the successful outcome and reason for the project, then I...

That was very interesting and meshes with my experience.

However, I need to reiterate my original question: do GTD practioners have one and only one NA for a given project, or do you have...

I have been wondering how many Next Actions people use under their projects at any given time.

I have a MS Outlook based GTD setup with the NetCentrics add-in.

For a given project do you have...

I think I'm less overwealmed, feeling more things are getting done and not forgotten. However, I'm annoyed at not carving out the Weekly Review time as inviolate. I mitigate it somewhat by using...

Actually, it was in this thread: moises post on Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2005 6:28 pm (I don't know how to link to the original). He made a passing comment on decision making, which triggered my comments....

Apropos to the decision-making process, I am reading a book that I find very clear and straightforward that might be helpful:

Smart Choices : A Practical Guide to Making Better Decisions by JOHN...

Hyatt has some great posts, especially the one on the "90-day Challenge": http://michaelhyatt.blogs.com/workingsmart/2005/01/goalsetting_the.html

Just as a point of information, the Category he...

Alternatively, perhaps you could list all the Next Actions you can think of in a text file (or Excel file) and just keep pasting in the next ones when one is done.

If you are really into a...

David - looks like what you've got there is an "Areas of Focus" list. How about making a list or memo called "Areas of Focus" containing these items? You can review this list as necessary to generate...

I currently have 69 "Projects", but I'm beginning to believe that some are not really Projects in the GTD sense; rather some appear to be Categories. I am starting to feel acute GTD dissonance, and I...

I appologize if this has been asked and answered before.

For me, one of the limitations of using tools such as MS Outlook for implementing GTD is that there is no obvious way to document on paper...
