i was running around like you. i had an enormous list of projects. some of them were of interest to me, some of theme were 'need' to do. i was using every moment to check off an item from the list. I...

I use two lists:

- @Waiting list: to track delegated tasks

- Projects-Delegated list: to track delegated projects to direct reports

Does it answer your question?

This is the story: I'm thinking of going back to using @Waiting list as it makes life easier. At some point I deleted @Waiting from my system. Instead I started to put a Next Action to followup with...

in my previous message I pointed out that there were 3 areas that couldn't be cured by GTD: motivation, choosing of next action and doing.

I tried clarification of next actions, higher levels...

Just wanted to share. I'm more then 3+ years in GTD. There were ups and downs. Still with GTD. It's a real system that gives you an overview of all your commitments at all the levels from Runway to...

I just had an AHA moment and wanted to share it when found that message.

I had that many NAs on my active lists too. Usually I'm fine with that many NAs (50 in a context) but sometimes you start...

thank you all for your ideas!

I have my week booked in advance. Today is Wednesday and I have no free slots till next Tuesday. Actually I have something like a free slot that is one hour processing time blocked daily. My next...

That's easier then you think. Open the tasks and then:

- To add: press right button "Menu" and "New task"
- To check of: as usual a checkbox on the left or "Complete" left button
- Filter by...

I prefer to plan my projects up side down. So I start with the end in mind and go the begining asking myself: "To do something I have to ...". It takes me 5 minute to make a 10 lines general plan....

It's always possible to find time for deep thoughts. I can do it while driving, at least in the morning when there're few calls. All the rest of time is as you say "airport" time. You can never...

My two cents. Having a schedule is always a good idea. I'm a busy customer oriented manager as well. But having some small routines really helps fight that overwhelm. So here're my advices:

Maybe I'm a procrastinator :) but I don't use a 2 minute rule during my processing time. I have only 30-45 minutes a day to process my stuff. Why should I go into Doing mode during that golden time?...

Don't want to be rude but it seems a little bit complicated to me. That's my opinion. If you want to line up all your projects to your higher outcomes then why not simply use a question in your...

Trust your intuition and your calendar :)

That adds to my theory of GTD that all Projects and Next Actions are rather equal by priority as nobody knows what's the right thing to do now to get the maximum pay-off tomorrow.

I use action lists for that. Never couldn't get how it could be done in a paper based system quickly :)

In my busy world I have only 30 to 40 minutes to process daily. And that's the time I can clear the decks: my calendar, all my inboxes and next action lists. So I prefer to defer next actions. I'd...

TesTeq, hi there! I agree with you. That means you could never change a behavior if you don't like people. On the other hand the behavior determines the inner world. So there're two ways: from inside...

What's the best approach to integrate a new behavior, for example to smile when you meet someone? And what's the creteria that the behavoir is integrated successfully?
