In my experience, writing things down reduces much more stress than the extra work my cause. Also, getting into the habit of writing things down, I have noticed that I remember things better even...
Excellent!!!
To me that is one of the key problems I see with other systems. The "founder" is almost a messiah and people follow him/her blindly. David gives us a toolkit with GTD and we pick out...
That's actually one of the features I like about Thinking Rock. I can filter based on several different characteristics . For example, when I am in "call mode" I can display only the CALL contexts,...
Been there, done that.
I never used that term, but Gardener's "perfectionist spiral" fit me pretty well. I actually like to write and would send novels as email in response to basic questions,...
The cost of MindManager can be prohibitive if you create make infrequently. Don't get me wrong, I love MindManager, but since I now have to pay for it out of my own pocket, the price tag is too much...
The AF methodology sounds interesting at first glance, but in my opinion it suffers from so many time management schemes out there. They are addressed toward managers and executives but not the...
The danger is not the project list, but your inability to make decisions. I have so many projects on my list that is is impossible to have next actions for all of them on my TODO list. So, I need to...
My two cents: You have too many folders.
Well, maybe...
I have cut down the number of folders at work (Outlook) to about a dozen and am in the process of cutting them down at home (KMail). It...
That's pretty much where I am at right now although I have been doing GTD for over six months. I am getting *more* done now than when I started, but definitely not nearly as much as could. It was...

Is that all it's supposed to do?
A place for everything, everything in its place and with labels. Even at home I have a Brother P-Touch and label drawers, binders, storage boxes, etc. It saves me the stress of having to open three...
I have to second that. In fact, it is not only safe, but a good idea. You are never going to go through that many messages. In my 20 years of mailing lists, the likelihood of looking at messages that...
Learn to say "No", like with that third piece of pumpkin pie. Learn that often someday/maybe projects are not dreams but fantasies and will never be realized. For me, was a relief to look at some...
Wonderfully put!
The extra psychic energy I get from completing tasks or projects often gives me a push to do just one more.
I think you're right, you are confusing yourself. I am a computer professional. I work on computers. My hobbies are done on computers. I have published a number of things about computers. My personal...
KISS. In fact, that was one reason I gave up using a tickler file. I don't have all that many things I need to be tickled about, so managing tickler files is too much work. Instead I have a single...
As in the IDE? Only 10 minutes? ;)
Hi All!
I work in a computer center and have both administrative and technical tasks that I need to accomplish. Today while playing with MS-Outlook I defined a couple of new fields for my tasks:...
