Congrats on your closet review. I have mine on my someday/maybe list.

There is nothing like a good purge! I wish I could be disciplined enough to keep from getting so cluttered in the first...

Yes, I keep my project folders separate from the reference system. I don't put anything in my reference system that is actionable. The tickler system (as described in the book) is a unique set of...

I disagree, I don't think you should have seperate folders for different priorities. Put it all in one pending folder and work through your contexts and what has your attention.

Sorry to hijack your post going a little off topic...I am working on a proposal just to be allowed to attend a public seminar. Bertha and Rachelle at the David Allen Company have been helpful in...

I had the same problem until I was honest with myself about how much I can really have on my plate at one time. My someday/maybe list is now the long one, which is OK with me. Easy to pull from...

I'd love to try the new app too.

I personally would have never implemented GTD if I had to use a paper based system. It just seems way too complicated to keep up to date. Maybe I don't completely understand it since I went...

I also think that fun should be tracked in a someday/maybe list. Places to go, restaurants to visit, etc... are all in my lists. I review them periodically in the weekly review and it sparks my...

I work with what has my attention. If I come home and the couch and beer in the fridge has my attention, that is what I do. If the pile of clothes on the floor (that doesn't exist in my house) has...

I figured that the system becomes too cumbersome for casual reading items like magazines. I agree that having them in the read/review is reminder enough. Unless there is an important article I...

I have recently started a read/review folder and an action support folder. Everything in my action support folder has an associated task. Should the read/review folder be the same? What do you do...

Yep. Sounds like either method would work similarly.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I will try marking my next actions. I just hope I keep up on it. I suppose my weekly review should catch expired support materials too I guess only time will tell. I...

Thanks for the alternative suggestion. I too am worried that I don't have enough for the files. That really is the reason for not using it originally. With birthdays, anniversaries, oil changes,...

My two week trial was great. It was a little bit of a whirlwind for me because I knew that I couldn't afford to become a permanent member. I blasted through many of the old recorded webinars and...

Thanks. I thought so, just wanted some affirmation. I also just read the tickler article from GTD connect and it is pretty clear birthdays, anniversaries, etc... should be tracked in the tickler...

Thanks. I too am worried that I will flounder around if not focused on one context when multiple are appropriate. I'll trust my gut and work the one that "has my attention" and see how that works....

I recently listend to the Road to Black Belt webinar on my free two week trial of GTD connect. One of the lessons learned for me was that it is OK to have more than one filing system. If you have a...

I too am worried about my action support folder becomming a mass of papers. What if I keep some support that I don't actually end up using when I complete the action? I will end up with a file full...

When I am sitting at my desk at work, I have multiple contexts available to me @work, @computer, and @phone. Should I just be scanning multiple (appropriate) contexts to look for my next action when...
