I'm an office worker. No time scheduled for calls? Ok. Boss jumps in for a chat. Collegue calls. Coffee. Day ends, no progress on my projects, only theirs...
What I do is block time daily for all meaningful goals I have.
I have time for work from 8 till 17. Within that there's time for contexts:
@Calls from 10 to 11
@Computer from 15 till 16...
Focus for the day. Stared items?
Foxman, if I have my day planned in the right way. It means:
1. The most important projects are planned to be moved (real to be done)
2. There's time between the scheduled blocks (usually no time...
TesTeq, he never wrote about planning. When he plans his day: in the morning or in the evening?
1 sec x 200 next actions = 200 sec = 3 minutes.
3 minutes only to look through your lists!
I check my lists minimum 20 times a day.
It means to spend only 1 hour daily to read through your...
Foxman, this is anti-GTD. You are HERETIC :)
Can SM list be used instead of tickler?
David told an average person had 100-150 projects. Are they active or active with sm?
Foxman, didn't fully got what you meant. Can you give examples?
Foxman, good point re: projects. Actually I don't have time to use 2 minutes rule when processing so I would prefer my next action list to grow, not both na and project lists. I always delegate and...

Suelin, it means there's always YES answer to all the projects getting into my inbox. What is it? It's X and move to the next step on the flowchart. What is it? It's Y and next. Next, next, next....
My GOALS list contains only single entries for each Area of Focus. In your terms:
Home - Buy a new house
If it requires a project plan to be stored somewhere then I would create a project:
A...
if 'what is it' question assumes other 4 questions, can we specify all the question I have to ask instead?
Can imagine spending the whole week processing my stuff. Lovely job!
I understand what you say. The question is what does 'What is it' question means and what is it's purpose. When do you need to ask yourself if the action or project you just took from the inbox is...
Bishblaze, why not to mention that not in a webinar but in one of the models for choosing what to do. There's a 4-criteria model, then 3-fold nature of work and horizons of focus. None of them says...
TesTeq, I assume we talk about the same thing here. Do you somehow mark these actions or plan to start with them the next day?
Mcogilvie, you're right that when I make a call first thing in the morning it doesn't mean this call would setup an immediate appointment. It could be an appointment for tomorrow, the day after...
