Things are going to pop up during the day no matter what productivity method you use. If you have 8 hours in the day and at the start of the day are listing 8 hours worth of things you want to get...

Once you decide what your goals are, GTD can help you get there. However, GTD doesn't (nor should it) tell you what those goals are - only you can know that.

If you're not sure what your goals...

Gardener, I have a very similar approach to you, in that emails in my inbox are either actioned or filed into a big, unsorted archive (sometimes forwarding to myself and changing the subject if I...

I recently got a dictaphone I can hang around my neck. It has buttons which I can feel with my fingers (if I take my gloves off), so I'm hoping to learn to use it without having to look at it. Then...

The only problem I have with this approach is that the more ideas you have, the more disrupted your journey is. Your ability to capture ideas is inversely tied to your ability to get where you're...

I love the iPhone but touch-screen devices in general aren't great for using without looking, especially as getting to any app usually requires 4 gestures:

1. Wake up (pressing the round button in...

Hi ellobogrande, would you recommend your voice recorder then? What model is it? I got one off eBay which was advertised as a "one button recorder", but in reality you have to switch it on my holding...

Hello,

I cycle to work and back, so spend about an hour cycling each day. Whilst cycling I'm always thinking of ideas and things to do. I'm yet to find an effective way of capturing whilst...

You could use Evernote to store all the documents, and tag them in a way that helps you get back each document when you need it.

If all the companies you deal with have similar bits of...

Yes sometimes the idea of New Years Resolutions seems quite silly - the present a much better time to start acting than on the first day of the year/month/week.

I've been in the same company for about 6 years and have come to realise that certain people don't need to go on my WF list, because when I ask them to do something, I can honestly trust that they...

Totally agree - if there's a project or action you're avoiding doing, moving it around between systems wont help you get it done any quicker (in fact, moving it around between systems may just be...

Are you capturing everything that pops up somehow? If not, things may be slipping through the gaps.

Remember that you don't have to organise the things you capture at the time you capture them,...

I think you may be dealing with 2 distinct issues here - one being the practical issue of how to share files between computers, the other being how to use GTD in your new environment.

Since you're...

If you really need to use more than one computer, you might find dropbox.com useful. The free account gives you 2gb of free space.

On each computer you install it on (pc or Mac), you get a folder...

Having lots of NAs per project can make it harder to move the project forward because when you want to start working on the project, you have to then figure out which of your "next actions" is...

MindManager is great, I use it for brainstorming and for organising all my projects at work. Top level branches are for projects, and branches off those are NAs for those projects.

However, this...

We all do lots of things each day which aren't in our system - wake up, brush our teeth, etc. When tasks are really obvious and you're just "flowing", you don't need to use your system, but that...

I'd also be intrested in a tool like this.

If you're at the airport a lot, it's probably worth having an @airport list.

Personally I'd put it on either my someday/maybe list or my travel checklist, which is a list of things take with me...
