I keep my completed next actions only from one weekly review to the next. I feel it is important to review them in the weekly review since I've occasionally discovered some follow-up next actions...
Absolutely! Whenever I follow-up I indicate the date and method whereby I followed up. If I get a response that still doesn't close the @waitingfor item, I indicate what the other party told me. It's...
There are currently probably hundreds of web-based applications that can be used for your GTD system. The Safari browser that is in the iPhone is supposed to be essentially the same as the one that...
All the other suggestions that have been mentioned are great, but I would also add in lunch times and morning/afternoon breaks if you get them. Have some food in front of you and start the call by...
A few years ago I was charged with developing a program that allowed empoloyees to rate their satisfaction level of dealing with employees in other departments. Management wanted to try to figure out...
I recently posted an article on my blog entitled "Why We Resist the Weekly Review and Plan (and What You Can Do About It)". If you are struggling with consistently doing the weekly review, you may...
If I remember correctly David says in the Getting Things Done...FAST CDs that Covey and others have done a great job of writing about the 20,000'-50,000' levels and he therefore doesn't see any...
No one is really 'better' than the other. One may be 'better suited for a particular person' than another, however. Ideally, we will seriously experiment with a variety of methodologies and use the...

I've had "Buy a Divers Slate" on my Someday/Maybe list for a long time. This week it made it to my @errands list. During lunch yesterday I stopped by a dive shop about 4-miles from my work and bought...
This post brings to mind that there is still one part of the Put It In Front of The Door Principle that I still feel is missing in my own implementation. I will use alarms to remind me of meetings...
Jodi,
If someone can tell me who to contact at Viking I will be glad to do so, along with probably hundreds of others in the various GTD forums. Can you get us the email address of a contact...
I use a Palm-centric system and use the Due Date field only if things have to be done ON that particlar date. I see this as part of my hard landscape.
I add a due date in the subject of the next...
Jodi,
What are the current plans to offer both books in an eBook format? These are both books that I would like to keep with me all the time but I'm not about to carry both physical books around...
Yep. That's the idea!
You look over your list for your current context and determine what you should most work on next. Once you've done that you review the list again to determine what is the new...
A GTD purist would tell you to use ONE system for everything. I personally have two side businesses and I keep all my home stuff and stuff for both side businesses in one filing system. My full-time...
Have you tried the SpiderZilla extension for Netscape/Thunderbird/Mozilla?

It's FREE!
I hardily agree that a post-it would work well for someone that doesn't already have anything stuck to their monitor. If the environment is quite clean, however, it may not be seen when needed.
