Hi everyone,

Yesterday I had my first weekly-review since I started implementing my work-by-routine-tray. I had a fairly big pile of stuff in my inbox to begin with, because I cleaned up a file...

Hi,

I display a checklist in front of me, even for tasks I do a few time a day, if the task at hand is something like - update here, update there, print an invoice, make an envelope, mail it out,...

iwantatr8,

I agree with you, it is possible, and the one who does this has to decide if it helps him or is it overkill, depending on the complexity of the job at hand.

The point to keep in...

ellobogrande,

I saw your response right after posting the one to suelin23, and it's exactly what I mean. I'm glad others approve it is not a mistake. I sometimes have a rather complex routine to...

Hi Suelin23,

I think a critical condition for the success of this idea is to be careful not to mix in anything who's 'processing' (In the GTD meaning of it), was not done yet. If a budget item is...

As I worte in my OP, I don't mean to split processing. The items I plan to put in that tray are to be done, not to be processed (In the GTD terms).

I have a routine of actions pertaining to the...

Hi All,

A few days ago I finally got to understand that a certain type of items in my in-box gets my processing phase longer than it should be.

I can get every day a dozen or more items with...

ero213,

Do you have a 'Things to check before I leave home for a trip' checklist?
Or maybe a 'Thing to consider doing every weekend' checklist?
Or maybe a 'Monthly routine' / 'Quarterly routine'...

Hi All,

I encountered this thread and wanted to make a point.

IMHO, checklists are much more than a plain plan. A checklist is really a summary of useful knowledge one gathered over time by...

pxt,

I loved your way of being squeaky clean and staying on top of things :cool:.

What exactly did you mean by "scoping down"? And what criteria do you use for that?

or .. could be the secretaries did not find out yet the way to answer all the requests for information with mind like water, so they are too busy to join the discussion right now. :(

Did any of us...

Where are the replies from the secretaries about this? :shock:

Hi John,

I didn't see DA's jogging example - where did you see it?

But anyways, If I don't even have enough time to scribble a few words into my calendar, I usually can't concentrate for a...

I would like to explain what I meant with a simple example:

Suppose you come back from a car ride you made to take care of an errand. In the middle of the trip you received a phone call from a...

Hi everybody,

Surprisingly, at least for me, this thread is so short. I expected many replies regarding processing urgent items on the fly, keeping them from blowing up.

Do you all just write...

Hi All,

What software (for Windows) would you recommend for mind mapping?

(Easy to learn, easy to use, can print, maybe can have memo's attachad to points
on the map? more things you know from...

Tychinin - All of the phenomina you describe lead to one cause - you probably don't drink enough. Just for the purpose of finding out if it is true, try drinking 4-5 glassess of water first thing in...

Hi CPU,

Isn't a project priced somehow parallel to the hours it takes to do it?

Not to mention the risk unforseen complexity will be revealed later (somtimes the ratio will make you agonize...

Hi Luke,

Can you explain this in more detail? What are those due dates your using? How do you determine them? How exactly is your electronic planner filtering/sorting your lists to show you what's...

Hi All,

Thank you for all of your responses.

I initiated this thread to see how everybody feels from his experience about the issue. Sometimes trying out a thought you have takes a long time,...
