I have one of those "accordeon" type files that has two numbers in each "space", 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and so on. Anything that isn´t for this month goes to the very last space with a CLEAR (red) note on...

If it´s your software that forces you to link all actions to a project and "miscellaneous" doesn´t feel right (it wouldn´t for me either), why don´t you name that project "Single actions to take".

I am or have been a workaholic, too. When I found GTD I first did it for about 6 months and got much more organized. However, I somehow felt that I was doing it for wrong reasons, trying to please...

Hi ferrarifire,

I would also recommend Connect membership. I have the CD set and it´s great, but there is SO much material on connect, webinars practically every month, audio, video, forum...

Hi duck0421,

I´m struggling with some similar things and have thought a lot about how David says that the biggest barrier to getting GTD going is addiction to stress, the willingness to tolerate...

Hi Brian, how great that it worked out so well and thanks for updating the thread. This gives me ideas for strategies in my own environment of constant interruption and too big workload.

I´m not...

I don´t have the quote either, but what you say sounds very familiar, I think David said that in some audio material, maybe a teleseminar on projects or natural planning model? If you are really...

I´m still new to GTD and I really don´t "get" the project thing yet, the connections between my project list, action lists and reference material are not clear. I do have a project list, but writing...

Yes, sounds very familiar! I tend to think in terms of what I want to get done, like in your example: "reconfigure server XYZ" the next action is not necessarily just an action but really a desired...

We are a small team of three, and I would like to tell about GTD to my new colleague (the boss will never get it, so I don´t even try :D ) but I decided not to push things.

When he first started...

Hola Roberto,

My GTD experience is not much longer than yours but here´s what I do:

I´m a big fan of checklists, so I have a daily checklist for "first in the morning" things, starting with...

Mike,

Welcome to the GTD community! It seems to me that you are posting to a public forum, have you signed up for GTD Connect yet?

For me Connect was absolutely the best possible help to get...

I was also scared of my lists when I started about two months ago and I still have lots of backlog. This is what has worked for me:

- Separating someday/later from someday/maybe

- Reducing...

I love my tickler, what a great way to happily FORGET about documents I can´t do anything about until that given date anyway.

One way to use the calendar instead of the tickler would be to make a...

I, too, feel a bit uncomfortable about this. I think it´s because my bigger projects, while important, don´t necessarily have to be moved forward every week, but cannot be forgotten either (no, those...

Mine is just paper... but then, my life isn´t very mobile.

I guess that the fact that I carry my excel file with the lists in a USB stick, so that I can access them from any computer, also counts...

I would just put in on my @errands list to remind me, but with some wording that gives me permission to not necessarily finish it, that is, instead of "Buy picture frame" it would be something like...

@Oogiem: I love your napping technique and will use it!

Before any big meeting or presentation I have to make I take good care NOT to review ANYTHING after sleep but before. That is, all review...

There have been discussions on other threads on how the next action is only a bookmark and that there is no need to write a sequence of actions for your whole project, just the next action in your...
