As a big procrastinator, I agree that it's the mental attitude that must change. However, when I am in the throes of procrastination, it is hard to get into 'action' mode.

What is working for me...

Hello,

I'd like to share my experience as I feel that I was (still kind of am) in the same place that filmgeek is in: procrastination plus feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that is on the...

how many calendar pages do you have?

I recently removed the 'notes' section from my myndology notebook and decreased the number of pages in my calendar (I do a week a page with a side bar for...

Jon, that's exactly right. Having my lists together in one place (though i don't have my project support folders with me) is the primary reason why I have a paper-based system. As a matter of fact, I...

I really liked Omnifocus (I used it while beta). It was great for organization (flagging for prioritizing, next action lists that can be organized by contexts). I didn't like learning the...

Keeping a paper planner forces me to do weekly reviews on a regular basis because the system completely falls apart otherwise. I have separate 'project pages', which helps me keep track of the next...

I'm working through this also. I'm really glad that he wrote this book - this is what I needed at this point. I think it will help with motivation and also not committing to things that aren't part...

Update:

Ended up with 1 page per context...much easier...Over the week, the grids were harder to maintain.

Now if I could just stop procrastinating...I think the horizons' focus will help with...

Yup, everyone's points are true - I'm finding that I'm much more focused and less anxious with the actions separated. Perhaps because I can decide that I want to do a 'computer' task rather than an...

Thanks everyone! I've found that it really hinders my actual work when the next actions are not easily recognizable. I don't know why.

I'm playing around with it now. For work, since there are...

Hello everyone,

I've finally settled on a nice paper-based system (myndology) but have not found a good way to organize my next actions according to context.

for those who are (or did)...

I agree with Gardener

I didn't have any problems early education-wise, and neither did my little brother but we both started to have problems in college and for me, during work. I have ADD and am...

I keep a stack of business cards (they are always piling up) in my laptop bag pocket and input those in when I am feeling low energy.

Like Marina, I also just scan my next action list for stuff i...

Thanks! I hope so...

Okay, I spent the last 3 days streamlining, compiling, processing & inputting action items in Omnifocus.

I realize now that I wasn't using the system because I wasn't completely comfortable with...

Thank you everyone for your advice and encouragement!

I think #2 is a big part of it. I just don't feel like doing it. I think it may be that I am a trying to force myself to use omnifocus. It's...

I am having a really hard time sticking to my weekly reviews. I travel extensively and don't 'really' have a home base (I just come home to my parents' house for 4 week vacations) or a set schedule. ...
