Hello! I was just wondering if other people had handy tips/tricks for using GTD methodology to get your mind off an issue.

Example: I have an employee who is wanting a raise - he's talented but...

Just curious if some people share their GTD project list with their boss or client to keep them updated on their activities. I keep my home list and work list separate so that's not a problem, but...

I had the same issue with my spices - my husband wants them alphabetical but the spice I use most (cayenne) was way up in the back of the cupboard. So I just renamed the spice "Zee Cayenne" and now...

I was inspired to post this question after reading David Allen's latest newsletter, which ends with the quote "99% is a bitch, 100% is a breeze." I'm embarrassed to admit this, considering how long...

Your response is super helpful, thank you! I had to go google the Cornell method as I didn't know what that was. Thanks for the tips!

I'm considering plunking down the $119 for a live scribe pen, plus extra for paper, but was curious what other's experiences were in relation to GTD.

I'm planning on mostly using it for meetings...

HI artsinaction - those are great questions. I too, share the fear that if I write everything down, there will just be more room for things to do.

thanks everyone for all the helpful suggestions! That's really interesting info about the writing every day versus 'binge' writing.

I've noticed I'm having trouble with projects that repeat each week but don't have a particular due date, for instance: "Blog twice a week for my client." It doesn't have to happen on a particular...

Hi BishBlaze - I, too, use social media as an integral part of my work but am struggling with keeping up with it while not letting it distract me from my other tasks. Not only do I post on social...

I was curious how others work through their 'in' boxes and process stuff. I tend to take each item, realize I need to do something with it this week, then put it on my projects list and then move on...

thanks pxt, and by the way, I love your quote! I wrote it out and put it on my bulletin board for a good reminder.

Thanks to all of you for your input - I really appreciate it! I have read the Now Habit, but need to re-read it as I think procrastination on the hard things is part of the issue.

I have gotten...

thank you so much for all the specific advice, ellobogrande! I appreciate it very much and as I read through it, it really resonated with me. The 'retraining' idea makes so much sense - in fact I...

I've tried to implement GTD off and on for a couple of years now - usually I pick up new information very quickly but for some reason I keep getting stuck with GTD. I know all the info backwards and...
