I keep three projects lists, but only 1 NA system. My projects lists are Projects-Home, Projects-Academic (which is my work) and Projects-Creative Writing (for my novels).

The NAs for any one of...

I took a bunch of Davidco podcasts with me on a 12-hour roundtrip the weekend before last (I'm a poor student who can't get Connect, so I gobble up free podcasts in batches and then never, ever...

Few weeks late and many dollars short, but...

One big trap I accidentally fell into was leaving emails in the inbox that actually had non-email NAs. For instance, an email from the library telling...

I thought I would also add, I've found Pomodoro to mesh really nicely with Neil Fiore's THE NOW HABIT methods as well. It is the very essence of "consistent starting," and since a pomorodo with break...

Just thought I would point out that the new gMail iOS app has a wonderful feature for adherents of GTD--

When your inbox is truly empty, it shows you a smiling sun and the message:

"You have...

I've found gtd and pomodoro to be a pretty perfect marriage. I've practiced GTD for 8 years now, and pomodoro for about 1. It works especially well since a lot of my NAs tend to be of the "write the...

Until it's off your mind, like Kelly said.

Here's an example of a project I'm currently wrangling. I found out three days ago that I'll be teaching my own class next term. I'm visiting my folks...

Google controls my life and my GTD system. I use the gMail app on my iPhone, and yes, I process to zero every time I look at my mail on my phone.

I employ a variation of what Kelly suggests...

gtdnubcake, you have discovered the strange paradox of the GTD forums--despite the fact that we're all here precisely to discuss how our implementations differ, a lot of people insist that there's a...

Addendum to my earlier post above:

I've found myself in the past several months using another solution to "tickle" items. I found that as I got free of my coursework for my graduate program, I...

This is exciting, but...

is it crazy heretical of me to say that I'm doubtful even a software implementation designed by David himself could fully capture GTD?

I dislike implementation tools...

I used a moleskine for my system for three years, until I finally bought an iphone and started using Google Tasks and two apps to sync everything.

My projects lists, which lived on the last pages...

This is a fantastic hack. I love it already.

To answer the OP--I think I'll get a lot of use out of something like followupthen. When I had a 9-5 desk job, I did have a 43-folder tickler file....

It's interesting. I read this post last night, and then started my day with an eye toward what it is that I do in a morning. Admittedly, this is an odd morning, because I've just come back from being...

The thing about GTD I see being useful with the Covey quadrants is that things that are in Quadrant 3 and 4 have a way of blowing up and then needing to be in quadrant 1. It's freeing to say "Oh...

Honestly, I would schedule yourself a day and fix your file structure. Having a clean structure will probably solve a lot of your problems off the bat, especially if you do the same things over and...

Losing a belly to me is up there at least at 20,000 feet if it's not even higher--up at the level of life goals: to stay healthy and fit.

You probably have a lot of subprojects within that.
...

Files which need to be shared and stored accordingly get their own space; for instance, in my previous position, I was a Student Services secretary. There were 2,000 student academic files in my...

I buy people the book.

I suggest they start out on paper, and direct them to DA's instructions on creating a paper planner.

I refuse to show them my system, unless they really aren't...

I've been reading this thread for days.

supergtdman (and why is that your username, if you're such a skeptic?), I feel like you're looking for a way to get off the hook for not having your system...
