  1. 2 ideas for you

    From what you described I think I can see two possible reasons on why things creeping back in:

    1. You possibly only captured part of the action/idea you were originally thinking of. So while you...

    The only other suggestion is to choose between form over function. I have an older model of the labeler you're using (I'm using the PT-1280) and have the exact same issue. The only choice I can see...

    Still looking too

    I've been using a label makers for various uses (GTD, tech manuals, etc) for years and I've found that all general use label makers (e.g. those found at big box office stores) will use a little extra...

    It depends on what the @WaitingFor item is. If it's a task I've delegated to someone or I'm relying on someone to get me information for a next action, then I put that on my calendar as an all day...

    1. GTD is a habit and a process, don't obsess over finding the perfect software to do your work for you. If the habit and process isn't in place, software isn't going to make it better.

    I would file the documents/information away into my reference system, create a new action that would be 'Sit down and mind map Project XXXX', and in that action note where I filed the reference...

    For every reason I could say Evernote is a great tool, @Oogiem could come up with an equally valid reason to use something else. Try not to get distracted with the tool, but focus on the method.

    The beauty I've found with using Evernote is I no longer have to worry about the file/folder structure needed to organize my files. By adding tags to the files you could almost drop notebooks...

    Can you expand on what kind of files and what size? If they are mostly document, spreadsheets, smaller media files, then Evernote may be exactly what you're looking for. For $5/month you get the...

    I agree with @Oogiem. I am light years ahead in my use of GTD since joining Connect. At least use the 2 week trial period and see what you can pick-up and determine if it's worth it.

    Sorry, Event Titles as far as I know are single lines. I can see why you'd want multiple lines. I'm curious why having that on a single line won't work? Always love to hear a new perspective on...

    I'd second @Oogiem and say that you should try to get a paper system working first. I tried jumping straight into a software program first and didn't catch all the nuances of how do GTD. It took...
  15. It is and it isn't

    You're right, it is that simple. Do the simple steps you described and you will find yourself more in controlled state than you were before. But there's a reason why GTD has had analogies to the...

    I use the Netcentrics add-on too, but I wouldn't look at it as an all encompassing GTD tool. The add-on helps you be more proficient at other aspects of processing and managing your commitments and...
