Hi

how about "I'll brush my teeth" and then I'll let myself read a chapter of my book or for fitness...what can I do daily to make a fun routine...so that it's a part of my day I look forward...
Hi Padma..
See you want to get married this year...so what would "wild success" look like? and of course...WHAT'S THE NEXT ACTION! :)
What a great response! What a really wonderful way to show GTD applied to something somewhat nebulous like learning a language. What you have given here could serve as a template for a lot of GTD...
Hi
what I found useful to help understand projects was to use David Allen's analogy of "projects" as being like headings in a file drawer and if you store all your projects together e.g. in Outlook...
The change from 2003 to 2007 was massive (for all the Office suite except maybe Outlook and Project). I'd suggest that you spend 15 minutes making sure you can find all the things you usually use....
Could you do a S/M list for each role?

Hi
Interesting discussion about folders. I got advice from a techie a long time ago. He recommended putting all documents etc into a folder called Data (makes it easier for backing up). What I do...
Been reading through this post and seems to me you have been getting some really good advice. Roger had a great question about what would be an ideal outcome...and maybe that is a question to ask. ...
Hi
good to read that other people are playing with different systems. I had been using Excel but found it really cumbersome for the lists. So I've moved everything onto Outlook...but keep a small...
This has been a really interesting discussion..because I would not have put something like "website maintenance" into an area of focus. I will be re-visiting all my focii (focuses?) after this.

Hi
Am going to check out the Things software you mentioned..:o
Anne
One powerful insight I got from this really valuable discussion was that one area I need to work on is clarifying an action plan for more complex projects and really nailing down the next actions....
Hi Brent..
How did you know my tub needed scrubbing:o :) ?? Alas, I am going to defer it...as it would take me more than 2 minutes..unless of course I can find someone to delegate it to... LOL
