If your schedule is very dynamic with no discernible weekly pattern then I think your "weekly" review should be just as flexible. Forget weekends or every 7 days. 4 days since the last review? but...

Given the choices ;)



but only after I've scanned my actions with due dates and calendar to make sure there are no fires that require me to change my current context. And also after quickly...

There are many programs out there with start and due dates that could probably help you managed these situations.



I would create the next action with a due date of Friday.



Next Action...

Capture and process are two distinct and separate activities. Otherwise you could end up with unclear/amorphous actions (from not having the time to clarify things) and stuff still in your head (from...

I think the importance of asking "wild successful outcomes" (btw, forget about what that may mean for a second) when defining projects comes when you review your project list and have to use your...

No, you don't have to do GTD.

If you feel that you're stress free and at the top of your game by working out of your inbox then stay with what works. As much of a fan of GTD as I am, I know it's...

Try to visualize yourself starting to do this task. Describe the action in that scene. What do you see? None of the items on the list you included do that for me. You don't need to describe all steps...

Yes. Move them.

First, I assume you're in the "what to do now" mode instead of the "responding to fires" mode that our jobs sometimes force us to be in. If that's so, in the very near future (before your next weekly...

As you're doing it, from time to time, take a look at your complete Projects list to see if there's anything else you feel you should be doing instead. It's all about what you're comfortable with and...

The point which I failed to communicate was that it seems to be currently designed it so that in addition to serving the GTD community, it is also be approachable to those not familiar with GTD.

I'm a little biased caused I developed it. But I got tired of trying to mold GTD into general purpose to-do apps like OmniFocus and Things so I made Purpose. Any program will have it's strength and...

One small habit that may help is to quickly glance over your Projects list a few times a day and notice what thoughts, feelings and your attention go when you look over them.

As David says,...

In any particular situation there's an interplay between the environment and your mind. What can be done (i.e. next actions) at any moment is determined by both of these.

For me, contexts clearly...

For me, I decided it was more important for my next actions lists to reflect things I was actually going to work on in the coming week. It also helped me to see the "Someday/Maybe" list as a...

I would not use waiting for lists for this. That's reserved for things that are on somebody (or something) else's plate. For me, waiting for's are not things I do, but trigger of things others do.

For web stuff my criteria is pretty simple. If I'm looking for this information a month from now and I search for it via Google/Bing, will I find it in less than a minute? If not, I save it if I...

If you don't trust your computer's search feature to find what you need, then I would have to echo what others have said here. Start with Area of Focus folders and maybe even project subfolders...

I think there are two different aspects to visualization here. Not sure which one you were referring to.

First, there's the visualization that MUST be done in your head to define successful...

First, the list above seems to be an amorphous thing to me. If other people can't tell what the outcome or next physical action is then that might mean that information is still in your head. And if...
