I generally agree. I can conceive of a point, however, where some people could be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of N/As. I work in a heavy project (technical sense, not GTD sense) environment,...

I suggest they're complementary.

(Disclaimer: I argue strongly that FTF is NOT the old Franklin ABC123 system. I realize Franklin merged w/ Covey. I realize that Franklin Covey probably now...

Could be lots of issues holding up a seemingly simple decision. For example, how to control small kids' access to lots of questionable programming? That could lead to other projects: research...

Concur w/ both the motivation and technique in guest's immediate previous post...this allows me to adopt a single project focus more easily when I need to surge through a project, while still...

Not really on the topic of screens, but playing off TesTeq's comment:

Do the new processors speed apps up noticeably? I've stopped running Shadow (my one non-plain-vanilla app) b/c it's pretty...

I frequently mindmap notes on just about anything, including meetings. I've been doing it for almost 20 years, and obviously, YMMV; but it works very well for me. I also adapt my notetaking style...

I'm not answering your *specific* question, but I used an older version of Franklin's s/w. Only "real" problem I had was a bug that when you hit more than about 75 to-dos (easy to do in GTD,...

Let me just second Bill Kratz's comment from a junior/mid-manager perspective. Lead by example, not by fiat. If you want to try it anyway, two suggestions: 1) think through first issues such as...

Not that you're looking for more to do, but some of your phrases really struck a cord, both with me and with 4 books (2 authors) I'd recommend:

Jim Loehr, "Stress for Success" and "The Power of...

I've been wrestling with this for a while. One option is to use specialized software (outline of some form) that allows you to associate the next actions right under the project in a hierarchical...

I asked the same question, Steve. Some discussion ensued in this thread:

(Look for the article on "defining projects".)

And I recall Jason posting that the entire team (minus perhaps one person) uses Palm Desktop for GTD-related activities. (Use ACT for contacts, I think.)

Thanks, Jason.

I also use that list (adapted as needed). My question, not brilliantly clearly stated, focuses on the review of the project list to make sure there's a moving action for each. ...

DM,

What's your trick?

TIA!

Need your help! This has probably been beaten to death, but my quick search didn't find the posts that did the beating; so... :lol:

I can't help feeling there's a smarter way to review my...

Just FYI: There's another thread on the board that discusses the book "Managing Multiple Projects". One of the authors categorizes next his next actions by roles, as you do. I'd echo Jason's "if...

Can anyone summarize the pros and cons of each as a desktop GTD tool?

I use a Palm, and have happily used the Palm Desktop for my GTD system for the past 18-24 months. I just took a new position...

Hi, Kjell,

This was kicked around a while back on the board, so if you can find the old thread, it might have some useful info. Briefly (and I face the same challenges), a couple of ideas I...

Sorry, that wasn't completely clear. To be explicit, if I were doing this in GTD, I'd
