About 31 'projects' (more than one step but can't be completed in less than a month eg train and qualify for an additional role at work, preparing for my vacation) and about as many mini projects...

I have a someday/maybe mind map on iThoughts on my iPhone.
I have a projects list which contains work and personal projects.
I have a commitments list - keeps track of (non project) commitments to...

I think most people don't have the luxury to choose what to work on, given energy level, and in the main the context is probably @office.

Most people are probably working on something set by their...

Weird - I put the link in the previous post but it didn't come up for some reason - so here it is:

Hey folks,

Some snippets of David in an interview on the BBC ClickOnline website - talking about productivity.

@bradenchase - ah I see in your system you use a higher review level to identify where things need attention. I might be focusing too tightly - when I could perhaps generalise an area of focus to,...

Hi folks I wonder if there should be a limit on areas of responsibility - I seem to have many - a recent Brainstorm came up with:

Husband

Hey all

i would agree the next actions arent as solid as they could be. If i was in that situation i would be thinking about turning them into projects.

Hi Maarten

Yep course I will keep this thread up-to-date I suppose is the best way.

Although i have been preparing for management for quite a while it kind of came suddenly and recently. Although i had prepared the mechanics of managing and techniques i hadnt thought about how my...

Put a slip of paper in a relevant date in your 43 folders system (you are running one arent you?) then you only do the writing down once.
Works for me and keeps the calendar clear and the admin...

Check Ebay - I've seen the cd's for sale on there in the past.

or Itunes - but of course check it'll be mp3 format if you haven't got an ipod!

It sounds like your heading along the right track. Organised next actions by context is a great start and very much the spirit of gtd.

Portability is the issue you have. It sounds as though you...

Just thought an example of another persons contexts might be useful (it's good to compare :-D )

They work for me - not perfect but good enough.

Hope it's useful
