I'm pretty much all electronic. I scan in any hardcopy documents that I may receive from others, which isn't that many as the whole company works mostly electronic.
I have a Windows folder for...

Next actions organised by context only organise the START of your work. It is perfectly fine to keep working on the one project once you've done the next action, until you've had enough. That's...

If you know that you can pay attention for 5 minutes easily, then make sure all your next actions can be done quickly, ideally 5-10 minutes but no more than 20. Then they will be less likely to repel...

Interesting that you find contexts less relevant as time passes. My company has found it more relevant. With the business spread over many sites, with a head office in the city, there is increasingly...

Yes, it was the post. I ended up writing it in OneNote and then copying and pasting.
Thanks for increasing the time out

I also use OneNote - this might help

My OneNote system consists of several notebooks:
-Projects
-Areas of focus
-Reference
-Done (move completed projects here)

In the Projects Notebook I...

Aargh!
when I write a long reply to the forum I get logged out and then it asks for my login and I have lost my reply.
Don't feel like posting now since I've written it twice and it hasn't gone...

I use an iPhone app Pocket Informant which is a list manager and also a calendar in one. I can view tasks by context, but also there is a "Today" view which shows all meetings and tasks due to day or...

I've often wondered this question as well. I mean, if you have the textbook you need available at the school library and at home and you like to study both places, then which context would you use,...

I get a daily media report, and print out (send to OneNote) any articles of interest to me and keep them in a OneNote Notebook, and organise them by themes, so articles of the same topic are all kept...

I like that it has a calendar as well as the tasks, there are projects and contexts

To me a deadline that I have committed to others to keeping, is day specific information that goes on my calendar.
If I plan out a project myself and think of the interim milestones of when things...

Most of my stuff is electronic. I have setup my folders in OneNote, Outlook and Windows Explorer the same way.

I have two separate systems on my home and work laptops. The only common thing that ties it altogether is my NA lists which are on my iPhone, and have both work and home in the same list system.

I find that if I'm struggling to do a task because it's quite difficult and needs a breakthrough in how to tackle it, like setting up an excel calculation spreadsheet, I'm best tackling it first...

It's important that project plans are separate from your next action list. I have large projects, and have to do a lot of formal planning, and find that once I've done the brainstorming I might end...

I've had this problem before, and last time I thought I would try to estimate the time it would take to do the tasks, and realised I had no idea of how much time I take on things. So I got an iPhone...

Friday morning my boss came up to me while I was at my desk speaking to another person and asked me if I had finished writing some sections of the works approval. He then asked when it would be done....

Wish I felt the same. On a good day I might get 8 next actions done, on an average week about 4.

I have managed to work outside by putting the laptop inside a cardboard box that is lying on its side.

With regards to the writing, definitely better to capture thoughts, arrange in order, then...
