I thought I'd quickly share a "happy gtd moment"...

Work is starting a new project; and armed with my new insights about GTD that I gained while I was a Connect member I've found the interface...

Have you tried starting with a mind map?

Sometimes I'll make short notes on a paper mind map and elaborate as I write it up. Sometimes I'll use Mind Manager. Sometimes I use OmniOutliner, which...

Thanks for the thoughts; I hadn't really thought about backup. I might start taking out the digital camera and doing a quick snapshot in weekly reviews (then I don't need to take pages out for the...

Some of you might recall I switched to a paper system a while back.

I'm still there! It seems to successfully get used rather than tricked out with the latest features, extensions, trying things...

There's a new members podcast episode called "Organizing Financial Information" that sounds like just the kind of information you're after; its here:
...

The next action is just to launch you into action on that project, so ideally it should be something you can just DO and you come up to speed on where the project was at almost magically while doing...

I agree, 1 project + 1 next action.

When you do that next action, do as many more sequentially as you feel like doing at the time, you don't need to write them ALL down. But the moment you knock...

I can't do handwriting at 80 words a minute; so if I'm at a computer, typing wins.

I do carry paper & pen (yes, a notetaker purse) for out & about though; I work at a computer so I like to be able...

For your next actions list, just put the next action. It's a bookmark of where you left off that will launch you back into that project faster than just the name of the project. When you work from...

I used to use a palm pilot to do this and found digital storage of recurring events is fantastic - it never misses a beat.

Sadly the old palm moved on and the new ones weren't reliable enough to...

Try google notebook. Its also free and does expanding/collapsing sections.

Depends what you want it for of course - I find google notebook handy for gathering "web research" notes into one place....

I think I must have read the same tip as vatark somewhere because I use - and turn it into + when done. I try to line up the vertical lines so if its ALL done its obvious and gaps are obvious too. ...

Getting good at GTD is a continual process. I've read the book 3 times in the last couple of years and got new things out of it every time.

Note that I got things out of it every time. That means...

I think it's useful to see NA's as a "bookmark" for where it's at rather than feeling a need to record every part. If you do one part then move on to the others right away, there's no need to record...

Having used a few palms and similar devices I ended up going back to a small filofax (looseleaf paper) for this part of my system.

For me, I need my contacts list when I'm "out & about" but have...
