If I have something to add to a meeting, then I'll have an @agenda-xxx list open so I don't forget to bring something up. If not, then i'll usually just have my capture tool (index cards or notepad)...

I've had to be careful of this too. I use RTM and had a saved search that showed me "due this week". The problem was that I wasn't getting to my other context lists. I only thought about what was due...

If I'm sick, I'm probably not going to be too concerned about my horizons at that moment. I would be able to look over my list and either pick out something needing *very* low energy or give myself...

The real problem with ABC-123 is that things move too fast in our world for that sort of prioritizing to be of any real value. One email, message, or situation can completely mess up your ABC system...

Definitely start now! I would suggest keeping it as simple for yourself as possible. Use papers in a folder, simple spreadsheet or text file, even index cards. But just having everything in a trusted...

Hi!

I'm a teacher with 3 classes of 6th grade math (almost 2 hours each) and using the GTD system has certainly helped me to keep my sanity!! :) I use Remember the Milk for my action lists (both...

Personally, I will use more than one context only for @computer/@work and @phone/@work. Since I'm using RTM, this allows me to keep all my work related things together, my phone things together, and...

You can always modify your @work context to better fit your needs.
(I don't know your exact situation) Some examples could be @work-copy machine, @work-internet, @work-programming, @work-email.

Sometimes I put a "priority" on an action list item, but it's only to bring the item to the top of my list & attention. It's what I want to focus on for that day, if everything goes according to plan...

You can certainly use the calendar for day-specific things, like reminders to look at something. It's still considered a hard edge because you are reminding yourself on that day, that you need to be...

I'm using Remember the Milk. (both web and iPhone) I use the tags for labeling the tasks with contexts, using smart lists for organizing by context. Each item goes into a list that's it's own...

I would definitely start by collecting everything that's "open" right now. That way it's all together while you decide what the next step is. The next question would be, do you have a trusted system...

I've used both Word and Excel in my early days of using GTD. The Word list worked great except I'd have to scroll a lot to get through my lists. The Excel worked even better, since I could set up...

I'll either have my hPDA with me, or at the very least one or two index cards folded in half in my pocket. Paper and pencil definitely for me, with this! My ideas usually come when I'm away from the...

I've used FreeMind for my mindmapping needs and I've also had some great success with it. I use it to map out my overall plans to see how things fit together in my life. You could easily adapt it to...

I've got to admit that I never thought of this...what a good idea!It would definitely cut down on space and also make it easier to organize a weekly review since you can have both notebooks open at...

There's lots of great advice in this thread. The best piece of information is to not obsess over the context lists. I've had this problem, too, trying to make everything "perfect". :???:

What I...

I've tried to keep my context lists together so I only have to focus on carrying one thing with me no matter where I am. I have the habit of getting ideas whenever I'm not at the context I need, for...

Good morning!

I recently switched my system to the hPDA, and have been having fantastic success with it! I still use Outlook for calendar and contacts, but I have a copy of the calendar in the...

I've made a switch to mostly paper this week. I was using Outlook synched to my smartphone. Both worked great, there was no problem with the tools. But, I finally figured out that I was spending more...
