I'm trying to move to a nearly all digital system. I'm Mac based so I use Omnifocus as my list manager. For digital reference I use DEVONThink. I have a DT database that is stuff I have scanned and...

When I did that recently (travel for work and fun) I just had a project for the trip. But I don't care whether I have work or home stuff as I work from home and use only one system.

The way I interpret that problem is that you haven't defined your contexts well enough. If it really is that big an effort to change which codebase you are working in then you need to have a context...

Not the person you are responding to but yes, contexts have made huge difference and I can see how it has worked years later. I work on projects that can span months, years, decades and in some cases...

Actually I don't think that is ridiculous at all nor is it inefficient. It's far better to do all the same type of task at once if you possibly can. So it's is far more efficient to do all phone...

One additional comment. @Errands is a lot more than just a shopping list, in fact for me my actual shopping list is in a separate SW package.

@Errands also covers things like stop at dry...

I think you're missing the point.. You are still using contexts, they are just different.

For me I can't even figure out how I managed to get stuff done before GTD and the concept of contexts and...

I'm with mcogilvie on this one. I use the clip-o-tron to move the messages to my Omnifocus inbox but leave them in the mail system. All messages in mail stay in a huge Reference Folder. Within...

I am not a teacher of any sort except the occasional lecture on farming stuff to local groups so my way may not be appropriate.

I would make every course you teach an area of focus of sorts with...

Mine is also a book style, the days are in front and the months behind and so far it works for me.

I've found that 90% of those things are actually important to me eventually. I try to use about 20 minutes of e-mail processing time a day to go to the links and do a quick scan of the material. If...

Clip using the Safari clip-in all relevant content stored into my DEVONThink database in folders set up to mirror my hard copy filing system.

Internet sources die and get stale and often...

I sort contexts by software package I need to do them and by whether I need help to do it or it can be done by myself.

Get the 2 week free access to the GTD connect private forums and download the free articles that are on there and read them.

I can't do the 15 minute thing, I just hit my stride and have to stop, so I do 30 minutes of the decluttering. The key is never leave the room you are in until the time is up.

My main tip is...

I use Omnifocus. I have a folder for each Area of focus and the projects go inside that folder. That way during review I can tell if I am neglecting an area and see what I need to adjust in other...

So far this month I've sorted, rated and triaged a bunch of pictures for scrapbooking, sent meat samples to a new chef for possible use in his restaurant, got a new renter for a building we own,...

Right now I have a bunch of @computer contexts due to a lot of things going on. I tend to break them up by application where possible.

I have a category for @Computer Mac and within that my...

I do have all my books on Amazon, even those I know I will buy elsewhere so no inconsistency for me.

As to why not EndNote. EndNote is designed to create research bibliographies to exacting...

Set up a wish list at Amazon. Even if you don't buy books there it's a great way to age your book selections until you decide whether to read them or take them off the list. I have 2 one for paper...
