What I'll usually do is start the next action with "R&D". If you have a lot of items you need to think about, you might also want to create a separate context list called "R&D" and use it as a place...

Rather than looking at your context lists as a strict set of commands that you have to complete, try looking at them as 'options' of things that you have available to do when in a respective context....

For those folks out there who have purchased the GTD Coordinator, what size did you opt for?

Thanks!

Honestly, it depends on the client. Luckily, we have some rather large customers who pay within 10 days to get their 2%, so we can allow some of the others to float a bit. One in particular has 17...

Technically, yes... The project would be "Pay XYZ Co" and the NA would be "Payment from ABC Customer" under @Waiting For...

Lack of cash flow... i.e. you do a job, bill the customer and it becomes a receivable. Meanwhile, all of your regular bills come in while you're waiting to collect on this receivable. You may not...

Why not just put them in a tickler file? If you pull a bill out of your file on a particular day, and because of cashflow issues you can't pay it right then, just put it into the file for the day...

At least for me, the trick is in *how* I do my review... But first, let me take a step back. Basically, when I'm working on a project and reach a stopping point, I'll quickly jot down the NA on a...

I think that perhaps what you're getting tripped up on is the definition of what 'must be done' on a certain date. In my mind, if something loses value by the next day, then by definition it must be...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess the more I think about it, I could probably do these NA,s anywhere so long as I bring the requsite support material with me. The @work or @home contexts are...

Hi all, how do you organize items that could fall under more than one context? There are certain NA's that I could do either at home OR at work, for example. The project files travel with me...

It's great for things that you want to act on, but not right now. Yes, you could put these items on your calendar... but...

Hi, from what I'm hearing, I think that part of the problem might stem from the way that you're using your lists. What I mean by that is, are you using your lists as your capture point (i.e. when...

That's your missing piece - you're not really processing your email looking for outcomes and next actions. Rather, you're just shuffling the pile from one bucket to another.

If it were me, I'd put it on my @Errands list.

Why not just try this:

Nice article... but I don't buy it.

Yep... I'm actually a little surprised that you couldn't find anything because this is probably the most heavily discussed topic on the forum!

Hi, as samilator points out, those are all capture points. Mailboxes, scraps of paper, pockets, etc. are all places where you capture "stuff". Once captured, they should go into your inbox that you...

Just keep in mind that true growth and understanding, of this or any other system, comes from questioning the process. It's great that you're asking the questions and challenging the system!
