I have read and enjoyed

Alan Lakein's book as well along with Mark Forster's Do It Tomorrow. Also I have a couple of free ebooks at.

www.simple-time-management.com which some people like.

Heres how I do it. This is for paper notes

I write the notes.

They go into my inbox. When I process, I am looking through the notes to see if they contain, a next action, waiting for, or a...

I have read the book and attempted to integrate the concept of the closed list into what I am doing. I am a paper user. I purchased a diary that has a page per day on it. Basically my set up is my...

I probably will order one too at some point. I am always looking for simple effective paper based tools. I agree with the comment that the electronic stuff can be distracting. Are people typing...

I would love to see more about your product, are there screen shots of the pages ?

Thanks

I too have tried to implement DIT and GTD. My initial response after a couple of days of using a daily diary for next actions was, it was not that helpful. It led to lots of re-writing and another...

I would set up the A-Z filing system described in the book and get stuff into it. The other possibility is the tickler file so things show up when they need to be worked on.

I have found the...

I am actually experimenting with using a daily task diary (ala Mark Forster) as part of my GTD system. I have my projects, waiting for, areas of focus, but I now program in the next actions I think...

I just finished reading Do It Tomorrow and think it is a fine book. I do think it will appeal more to the self employed in my opinion. Specifically those whho have sort of well known business...

I don't see how you short cut it. It seems to me people have traditional to do lists, which according to GTD don't really work. I think to really do a jump start of GTD like the book says you need...

I use a very thin flexible cover notebook with a 1 inch spine, so it is not too bulky and carry pre three hole punched pads of paper. The tabs are projects, next actions, waiting for and notes for...

I use paper and notice that I am thinking a daily task list is appealing, as my day moves quickly and there is sometimes quite a few new things that come up, such as calls and NAs that need to be...

After having the BB for three weeks now, I have concluded that it is great for getting emails on the go and keeping contacts. It just does not work for me as a list manager or note taker because my...

I try to use notebooks for lists and general meeting notes and pads of paper for project notes that will eventualy get filed in a project folder or binder. I thought I read in the book something...

I may ultimately do that, I am sort of experimenting since it is a new toy. I do like the ability to scan the notes quickly. I probably will keep a paper based system for personal as a comparison. ...

Thanks for the insights all. I can't put anything on my computer due to company restrictions. I am thinking I may have to split and do paper for personal, since I am not sure I want my personal...

Just when I had become comfortable with my paper based notebook system, my new job gave me a BB. Being the simpleton that I am, I played around with it and figure the best way to do GTD on it if I...

I like to have one thing, with everything in it. So I would go to either the hPDA or the notebook and use blanks, ie notecards or notepads for capture tools. I try to keep it simple. So I would...

Lots of cheap "reporter" 4 by 6 pads of paper that flip up at the top. In the car, near the phones ie any place my "organizer" might not be.

I do carry it with me, either in my briefcase, or in my car on the weekends. I always keep it together in one piece, as I know if I start pulling it apart, I will loose trust in it.

Currently,...
