I love my Moleskine, which is my UCT. I draw a line down the left side of the page so that the items are lined up. Each one has a little circle on the left side of the line. I check them off as I...

I haven't done this myself yet, but I heard of someone who had an @braindead context! It makes a lot of sense.

When I very first started using GTD, I incorporated it into my Franklin planner, with a section for each list. I was very pleased with myself. But then I didn't look at the lists, and the system fell...

My project lists (Someday/Maybe, Later, and Current/This Week) are divided by life role (originally from Covey--I've been thinking about my life like this for years now). Artist, indexer, musician,...

Oh, on the issue of accounts receivable: my clients pay 30 days after I deliver. Those records are in an Excel file, which I review for late payments during my financial review. Calls or emails to...

I used to spend a lot of energy paying my bills right before they were due. Now I schedule time every two weeks (right after weekly review on Sunday) to catch up all finances. As bills, checks to be...

Katherine, it's good to hear that even someone as highly competent as you needs to rework things now and then!

I also have ongoing large projects that don't need a lot of planning, and the small...

Noobit, here's another example of a project, currently on my list: "Decide whether to say yes to the last-minute invitation to give a workshop at xxx conference in June." A traditional do list would...

Keep your notes and lists on the computer and print them out for portability and visibility. That's what I do!

Okay, here's my question, Katherine. I am also finding that I use my NA lists when I'm not embedded in a project; when I'm working through a project I do NAs as they come or sometimes have them...

The choice isn't just between pure paper and GTD software. My setup uses Word files for all my lists (you could do this at your home computer), printouts of those Word files when I'm elsewhere, and...

I add it to my accomplishments list, then delete it. Even the little ones, since a lot of what I accomplish it in those little bits, and I need to see the list build up.

I have divided my projects lists into Current Projects (moving forward this week) and Later Projects (definite, but not this week), as well as Someday/Maybe. This is really working--it keeps the...

This is all very inspiring. I'm combining a commitment to music (community chorus, guitar learning, and aspiring songwriting) with commitments to quite a few other things, so GTD is helping me to...

I also want to emphasize that you seem to be missing the idea of a projects list. That's where your sample list of "to dos" will go (as Katherine says, from the mundane to the exalted). Then you...

Thanks, Matt--good thread.

I think I'm going to encourage them to have a weekly couple review during which they look at all projects and actions and one or the other takes ownership of each one...

I'm helping my sister and brother-in-law with their organizational issues, and I'm wondering if anyone has tips on setting up GTD systems for a couple. I think they should each have their own next...

Michael, can you give us some examples of what's taking you three hours just on calendar items? Maybe we can troubleshoot this.

Set aside time. I do it on Sunday afternoon while my teacher partner is plannig her week; we agree not to interrupt each other.

Try to have your inbasket mostly processed before you sit down to...

I have split my main projects list into Current Projects (this week only) and Later Projects (definite, but not this week). Someday/Maybe is for daydreams. Making this change fixed some...
