I admit that many concepts have become much clearer to me after a second read, but even re-reading the first part (chapters 1-3) has helped me a lot. I also used the diagram from pg. 139 as a quick...

I agree with that, but my point is that while the next action does not need to have a word like think or brainstorm in its name, there are situations where having it might be desirable. Take, for...

I second that, and especially since GTD puts much emphasis on knowledge work. For me, thinking is definitely actionable if it has a purposeful outcome.


And that's what the book suggests (p. 213)...

I put any thoughts or notes related to a project in the project support material after having processed them. Don't put ideas into any lists -- ideas are just stuff you need to process and by far are...

I will reiterate my opinion from another thread: contexts should be defined by what you need to have accessible to you to do a task, and not by following some strict rules that might not make sense...

The project size is not relevant as far as the project list is concerned. The project list is meant to remind you of your project-level commitments and to be as simple as possible -- for each...

This is plainly stupid as you are comparing apples and oranges (CPU vs. complete hardware architecture), and furthermore as Apple has claimed that the similarity was coincidental.

Ever since long...

By Mac software I consider that which works under MacOS(X), so I am referring to the OS, not the hardware platform. Also, one could argue that many Mac computers are PCs now they have given up...

That is a Windows version, not a PC version (there are other OSs that work on a PC:)). Of course, there is an implementation in vim called taskpaper.vim, which works in Linux, is simple and free, and...

No, a definition of a context might be, e.g. in thefreedictionary.com -- I just double-clicked the word in Firefox with Dictionary tooltip extension:)
2. The circumstances in which an event occurs;...

I am looking into ThinkingRock too. I agree about its being as simple or as complex as you want it. I would like to understand its concepts better, but rather than reposting here, I have already...

One of the strong points of GTD is that it is a platform-independent methodology, so to speak. What is most important now is that you have saved your data pertaining to your GTD system. You could and...

Recalled that moments after I sent my initial response, but I guessed it's better I not make assumptions about MS software and its behavior.

The way I do it is that I have created a virtual folder...

As the mail user agent cannot know if the message it received was Bcc-ed or not (you can check this by inspecting the message header), MUA's spam filters can't discard it based on that criterion. So...

Hi Maarten,

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client, where auto Bcc (as opposed to auto Cc) is offered as an option. I really seldom use Windows or Outlook, but from my previous...

What confuses me about ThinkingRock is its concept of Thoughts -- this would seem equivalent to, or a subset of, Stuff in GTD terms, but it might imply the intended purpose of the program is only...

Thank you for resuggesting taskpaper.vim, as it seems that, when viewing briefly its webpage, I completely overlooked the filetype plugin for vim! I thought that filetype detection stuff and syntax...

I am sorry for the somewhat late reply, I had to do some "work as it showed up".

Thanks to mcogilvie and matsuru for suggesting some applications, I have installed them through Wine, and I have to...

Hello,

Well, do you want a short or a long story?

The short version would be: What desktop-based application, either cross-platform, for Linux, or for Windows (provided it can work in Linux...

Of course there is hope! From your story, I would estimate that GTD might suit perfectly with your lifestyle once you learn how to relax a bit -- and the book could be of great help in that aspect as...
