I keep a separate Evernote list that says "To buy/ rent" and have it split up by books, music, and movies. I add to that. Keeps my Someday/ Maybe cleaner and I have one place to browse books I'd like...

As most have commented, I also have two separate systems and it works very well for me. I will say though that having to separate my work and personal items means that the weekly review has become...

Hi,

What a great post! Thanks for sharing this because I think you articulated very well what a lot of people, particularly those who are newer to GTD, can experience. If I may, let me offer just...

Definitely will, John!

Additionally, I posted a recent blog post with my "If-I-Could-Only-Read/Reread-Three-Books-This-Year" list. Of course, GTD was #1! I've read all of David's books but only...

I just saw this one on the Times bestsellers list. I wrote it down to check it out. Thanks!

You are so right! It is strange but it is a great book. I'm far enough into it to recommend it but also to say that I think his Four Hour Work week is still my favorite of his three. I wasn't crazy...

I'm in the process of reading the 4 hour Chef by Tim Ferris. Love this guy! While the book does have some cooking in there, it's not only about that. It's more about his rapid learning techniques....

I have moved back to paper temporarily but quickly lost my enthusiasm for it once I realized that it was much easier for me to forget my paper planner and also, a paper planner is not as mobile as my...

Technically I have one and have a reminder to check it on my daily morning reviews but rarely do I use it. With most things being digitalized these days (even things like concerrt tickets!) rarely...

I agree. I think overall keeping up with the forums are an "Area of Focus" since there really isn't a definied end. However, as I am cruising through the forums, if I find a particular post I...

For these types of facts, I would store them in Evernote (or something similar...wherever you store your reference material). I am a writer (fiction) and also have my own blog (non-fiction) so I have...

Wow! Well, if I may be a bit bold here, that certainly doesn't sound like a very functional environment you are working in. Despite a person's performance, no one deserves to be called out like...

My system for list keeping has stayed pretty consistent. I use Pocket Informant for personal to-dos (Toodledo is the list manager within that tool) and Lotus Notes at work.

When I first started...

Hello there, Yes, I use Pocket Informant. It's been my primary tool since my GTD implementation (about 1.5 years ago).

I've found it a bit clunky at times (like for projects and notes) but...

This is very much how I manage my group of business analysts. We have weekly reviews but by no means could I possibly manage each of their next actions. They've got way to much going on plus, I...

GTD offers some great guidelines for implementing the approach into your work but the bottom line is, what works for you? What compels you to get it done? If treating it as a meeting with yourself...

Great discussion topic because you will see that it varies. I had to separate my lists because of the security around our systems here at work but this has worked great for me because if I decide to...

I do this too! I have the first 30 minutes of each day blocked for a min-review. I do not review email during this time either. Reviewing emails as soon as you get in can quickly derail you.

I...

I totally agree that there are way too many of the productivity apps out there already that essentially all do the same thing but I would love to see an app for the latest podcasts, articles,...

As a general rule of thumb, if multiple steps are required to achieve the desired outcome, it's a project. With that being said, I don't think it's necessarily black and white. One of the examples...
