[QUOTE=ellobogrande;105383] The best GTD system is the simplest one. QUOTE]

Agreed!

For a few years I used a single system on my work computer using Outlook Tasks.

Currently, I have...

I'm in the same boat -- I work as a course developer, so my actions involve the analysis and expressing of ideas. My experience, though, is that planning takes more energy than the actions. Both...

David says that he creates task lists that are so detailed that they can be executed even by somebody oxygen-deprived and sleep-deprived.

And of course, when we execute our task lists, we are...

I just looked at your writing website -- the suggestion to "Draft quick and dirty -- capture your thoughts and then we'll do something with it" expresses what I am hoping to do.

Iteration...

This is exactly what I was thinking about. I am imagining capturing as fast as I can talk, rather than as fast as I can type. I've been touch typing for several decades, so my speed is good, but...

Yes, I used to plan my soccer practices by dictating in the car on my way to and from work. It worked well. Question is, how easily does such a practice scale for a large project.

I've been...

Whether I am brainstorming goals, projects, or tasks, or, for that matter, outlining a potential book or lecture, the traditional process is to use some kind of capture tool (sequential, such as...

"A sign of GTD blackbelt is the twinkle in the eye in everything you do"

I'd like to repeat a tip I picked up from one of the GTD podcasts that gave me a quantum leap in implementing GTD: define your 'buckets' as much as you can upfront, before you start sorting through...

Thanks Kelly,

I ordered one this morning.

The reviews say the same thing about the headset as they did about my Klipsch ProMedia computer speakers, which I absolutely love.

Looking forward...

Size of gear is a consideration when traveling.

Sometimes I participate in online meetings from my hotel room. Wondering if anyone has favorite headsets (or even USB microphones) that connect to...

Some people would say that change starts from within. Books can help with this inner change. Then, of course, it really gets interesting when you start to apply your revised inner vision to the...

I ordered the book this morning.

My hope is that he explains some assumptions or prerequisites that I am overlooking.

I have worked and played 'in flow', would prefer to always work there,...

Nice list!

I've been hearing about flow for years, but have never read Csikszentmihalyi's book.

If I read it, will I learn anything in addition to the fact that flow is a desirable state, can...

GTD is about focusing on what is most important now.

Part of managing focus is keeping up with current events without getting overwhelmed by noise and chatter. One approach is to read a weekly...

I like it! I want to try it! But I am not confident of success. Maybe an upfront agreed-upon process such as write the postponed decision on a list is enough to succeed. Please report back on...

Hi Barb,

Yes, no, and a tangent :)

Starting with the tangent:

Initially, working at the next action and the project level, I had things on my lists that just would not go away. I could not...

Thanks Barb,

Thanks Barb,

Good to hear from you :)

That is a start. I would like to add the questions. That is, the reason we wrestle a little with the levels is they are described as 'things' or as...
