This is something I have thought about and want to explore a little. The question is how exactly to do that change in attitude toward the lists. Just telling myself, saying the words, that the lists...

We shall see about that. Reversing entropy might be a bit of a challenge, but that's more of a someday/maybe anyway, for now.

People are discussing those things seriously though, and some of them...

Thanks. The future is going to be awesome. 8-)

Is that a conclusion or do you feel directly that you don't like looking at them? I mean, if it's a conclusion it's like "hm, I haven't used my lists at all this week, why could that be? Must be...

The big things, I got a few of those (incomplete list follows): curing aging, creating molecular assemblers, creating a superior artificial intelligence, Dyson sphere, technological singularity,...

So there have been a number of suggestions here, as I suspected it's a big topic and a very common type of action item. Like I said I do have some solutions for recurrent actions (but I'm always open...

I use Things for that, which can be set up to put an item in the today list at any date, or even recurrently (any interval). There's where I have many of my recurrent actions. (But it can't send any...

Or not. Oh my, seems like I have switched in my mind again. I'm staying with Things. The Hit List is great, but I realized that the global tagging system is not ideal. If you put something in...

I for one appreciate knowing about new (relevant) products and I believe in communication between developers and users in forums such as this. If anything some developers are too silent and...

Okay, so just a few days ago I completed or moved the last items in The Hit List and made the final transitation to Things. But today The Hit List was updated, and now folders can be created. And not...

I wish. :) There are more ways to not get things done than forum-dwelling, and I'm a grandmaster in a couple of them.

Good to see the thread live like this. I'll return when I've taken care of some more list items.

Reading the whole thing I don't disagree as much as I thought I would, but the swipe at GTD doesn't make much sense. I bet GTD would be great for most people even when they're retired. It's not about...

True enough, some actions eventually become so automatic you don't need them in your system (I don't have shopping groceries in my GTD all the time even though it's a permanent recurrent action). But...

Sure, no disagreement on that.



He writes about checklists but not about recurrent actions (as such) as a class of items to apply them to.

Looking at the workflow diagram I'm not sure...

Yes you misunderstand the problem somewhat. I already use task managers with recurrent reminders, as well as other things. I'm just not entirely happy with this, and I'm not sure GTD addresses the...

I was feeling pretty good with the decreased stress and increased control, but now when I understand that it's all just a corporative conspiracy to make me work harder I must renounce GTD and take...

Actually I've switched to Things, because adding folders hasn't been implemented yet in the iPhone version of The Hit List. The Mac app can add folders which can then be synced to the iPhone app, but...

They don't seem to fit neatly into the GTD system. Here's an example: each month I try out some changes in health, and one thing I'm doing this month is taking Omega 3 every day.

Okay, so if I'm...

Using a smartphone has been a boon for me. Paper gets too chaotic and just feels wrong (for GTD, but it's okay for mindmaps etc), and ordinary computers I don't always have access to and it ties me...
