I couldn't agree more. GTD lends itsself to a variety of planning tools including very simple, basic ones and the 3-ring binder is efficient and powerful. It also benefits from being dirt cheap and...

And is pursuing happiness even likely to lead to it?

All of this makes perfect sense within GTD if you consider the following question: Is it more expedient and efficient for Davidco to use an off-the-shelf e-commerce program or have one customized to...

The catch to these kinds of systems is that you must assign a priority to everything. How do you do that consistently? The priority of a new task is inherently relative to the priorities of...

I wonder if you are trying to incorporate too much into your notebook. If you follow the methodology in the GTD book I think you would wind up with a notebook with one section for a calendar, one...

After 7 years with PDA's, my latest device got flakey a couple of months ago. I took the opportunity to re-evaluate the paper option. I converted to paper and am very happy I did. No going back...

I tried this for a while. I had a few issues. One off-brand DVR seemed to consume batteries quickly and was always dead. One very cheap toy of a DVR had such poor sound that I couldn’t understand...

To address a question in the original post: It is my understanding that DA uses a Palm digital organizer rather than a paper planner.

This time I am...

My company is updating its information security policies which will include blocking internet document storage services like filesanywhere and Google Docs. I work at a government contracting...

You're going to love it. I'm back to paper also. If the paper NA lists work well for you, next try printing out your calendar two pages per sheet and keeping them in your notebook.

Next step: get them to enter the invoices into Sage themselves!

Taking an invoice out of your inbox and putting it into your batch processing tray is fully processing it in accordance with the 2 minute rule for the following reasons: 1) you have handled it in the...

In the US in my observation, everything is standardized to letter size. Getting A4 or something else locally would be almost impossible. The only other size we have is legal which is the same as...

A project is any outcome you have committed to that will take more than one action to complete.

If all I want to do is water my plants, then that is a next action and goes onto the next action...

I think it means that you are developing the habit of being fully engaged in what you are doing and pushing all else out of your psychic RAM. That is a great thing. When I tell you how my day was...

1) focus your brain power on solving the most pressing problem you are working on when not standing around.

2) discrete isometric exercises.

3) think about/plan what you will be doing the next...
