"Yes, as long as "plan" is a clear next action to you. What do you physically, visibly see yourself doing when you plan?"

Kelly hits the nail on the head with this one.

I have found mindmapping...

I like writing things down.

I keep a small pocket sized composition book as my reminder list, because it is portable so I can do next actions in any of a number of buildings I work in. This takes...

Yes. Breaking it down is one of the key principles of GTD, and David and Co advise using whatever it is that works to get the idea out of my head and to have the right thing written down to help me...

I have a standard routine that allows me to wash dishes almost free of thought.

It chunks leftovers, dishes and silverware for the dishwasher, and post and pans very to be treated differently.

Hello all,

I remember reading in the book where David speaks about having a system that is trustworthy, but I cannot remember where. IIRC, there were 3 things that one had to have/do.

Maybe my experience with this will be helpful for people.

I have been “doing” GTD since Oct 2002, to varying degrees. Kept project and context lists religiously, but still had a lot of impairment...

I've found that I tend to really like tasks that move me toward making things better in my life, and not on tasks that just are related to execution of obligations and mission-critical items. When I...

Let me preface what I am about to say that I am a board certified neurologist and Assistant Professor of Neurology at a prestigious American medical school. I see patients for sleep problems at...

If it has to be done by a date (and or time), it goes on the calendar as a deadline and has an alarm with it.

I ditched the palm for NA's and projects. That hurt a lot. My handwriting is not neat, and I have lots of inputs to manage on multiple systems. That makes life pretty crazy. The messy handwriting...

Thanks to both of you. Guess I need to add check out Mavis Beacon on my @internet list. Good idea of @computer checklist.

My typing stinks. It was a major impediment to getting things done with a Palm, which I am going back to, because my handwriting is so messy that my switch to paper planners doesn't work.

But I...

What is this? I am wondering if I am guilty of it! Can anyone out there give some specific examples?

Thanks,

Wow, this thread has really caused me to think, also.

I get a real charge of making handwritten lists when I feel overwhelmed.

I once read where Jason or David said that your method of getting...

Yeah - I've known about for almost 2 years- what took them so long? :D

Hi All,

After reading the GTD book more, I was convicted of my need to inprove my typing skills. I watched my new department chairman type in his internet password without looking at the...

Hey Mike -

I work at a university hospital and medical center. I have my own computer at my own desk in an office I share with one other person. But I have access to internet software (email...

Hi everyone,

I found an interview that David did with Fast Company - much like chapters 1-2 of the book, but with a slightly different perspective. I read it and relaly like it, since it really...

What do you all think? Anyone been to the seminar after doing GTD for a while? Will it help? Another possibility is workflow coaching over the phone, which would cost about the same for two hours...
