Google Docs gets a big thumbs up from me - it's a huge help for getting sign-ups for events and sharing information.

If web-based forms are okay (not specifically email), I think a Google Docs...

Many of my projects are not necessarily linear and have multiple "moving parts." A perfectly laid out next action may be exactly how I would handle the project given an open morning without...

Pablo,

Very interesting idea! I've recently steered away from contexts because of feeling like I need the project/next actions to stay together. Now I have a binder of one-page project plans...

I have many things like this at work - schedules, charts, directories, benefit percentages, etc. I use a "presentation book" from Staples that comes bound with sheet protector pages inside. I put my...

I like the option to look at various views and filters... splitting out exactly those things that I do or don't want to see at different times... so my plan might seem like overkill to others, but it...

I've found that the number of visible open loops near my work space was hugely distracting. I moved my in box to a shelf near the door to my office - easy for others, but doesn't "bug me" on the...

Interesting question.... this would be my approach... During project work, I may start with NA#1 that is my context lists (or I look up NA#1 from the project plan/support)... and proceed to complete...

Hi - this sounds interesting... I've not tried it before but I think it would help me during times when I might otherwise give up on getting anything done. I'm interested in hearing others'...

Hi there, I know how you're feeling... I tended to have household things that are really, really not that hard to take care of to get ridiculously overwhelming before I dealt with them. I don't know...

I found that most of my work has been "to be done as soon as possible", and relatively few things were actually day-specific items to tickle. With the full folder set up in a file drawer, I would...

In my GTD system, I would put your examples here:

Calendar - if it's not there as an appointment, I'm really likely to skip it
- jogging (monday, wednesday, friday)
- pilates (tuesday, thursday,...

You would put any next actions on your context lists that you could do right now (independent of one another). If all subprojects are dependent on one another, you may have one single NA for the...

I have trouble keeping true NA's identified for each project too. I'm curious... how, other than it being a shorter list, does a Project NA list make things less confusing than adding project na's to...

Barry -

Great ideas! I especially like the binders - I hate when my folders flip forward - I bet that would help. I'll try it tomorrow.

When I'm going to have a file out for just a minute, I...

I think your reminder has to be right where you eat - get a little turtle figurine (or something else that means "slow and relaxing" to you) and put it right above your dinner plate where you'll see...

Thank you for your ideas!

Brent, TesTeq, & WebR0ver - it is strong tendency of mine to want to have everything with me. What if I have a little extra time to work on something else? What if I get...

I really appreciate your thoughts TesTeq, but I'm in a grad program right now (and working full time). Until I finish my coursework, there will have to be work at home. There are course projects that...

Hi,

My position has changed slightly so that I am about to be somewhat more centrally located (I had been traveling between 5 sites - usually 3/day and often not to the main office at all during a...

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting the ON 2007 beta too... I love ON, but I've gotten away from it b/c unless I'm really good about keeping it sync'ed with Outlook, my project info tends to be...
