You're welcome! I'd forgotten that I'd put this file on the forum four years ago. I'd better start using map again myself!

Kind regards

This problem can arise as a result of the "wrong" kind of stuff.

If your work consists a lot of reactive tasks - say you work in a call centre or you have a customer service role - you will spend...

Thanks for these ideas.

I guess the answer lies between using Someday/Maybe a lot more and shortening the processing frequency. Certainly, the more "In" builds up, the more likely it is that...

I have taken seriously the concept of getting everything out of my head.

I have a small notepad on my desk, a David Allen Notetaker Wallet (excellent) and an audio recorder in the car. I'm also...

Thanks for all the advice.

I think I'm going to go minimalist and use pen and paper for my projects list.

The list.

I'm interested to know how people maintain their system of "stakes in the ground" without causing items which need attention to become invisible and neglected.

Here's a really basic question: Where do you keep your projects?

I use the GTD Outlook Add-in quite successfully for handling email and actions but it's too fiddly for handling projects. I end up...

I really like the GTD Outlook Add-in.

I find it necessary to work in Outlook and the Add-in has enabled me to use Outlook effectively and efficiently for "runway" type items such as next actions,...

Many thanks Carl

It's all printed out and I'll be reading it on holiday!

Thank you Carl. I'm just starting up with Outlook 2007 + OneNote so I'll give this a try.

Do you have any other resources for OneNote in GTD?

When I started GTD I marvelled at the abilities of people who say they work predominantly from action lists and I tried hard to do so myself. I became frustrated by how easy it was to lose track of...

Thank you! This one has irritated me for years.

This is a good solution. I use respectively, red and yellow colouring of daily, untimed appointments in Outlook to achieve something similar. The key is to mark in red only those items which really...

Thanks for the affirmation Barb.

And I agree totally with your sentiments. The implementation of GTD for me is a journey - not a destination, and there is plenty of material to keep the process...

The point I'm making here is that, in situations where there is too much to do actions can, even though being effectively processed, simply end up being moved to context lists and never get done. We...

I have just spent half of Sunday pruning out my action lists and projects. Those items that I haven't Somedayed I have deleted. Amongst them have been quite a number of actions and plans that never...

Yes, but there wouldn't be much point because you wouldn't be able to see the embedded notes - just the headings.

You could download the Mind Manager trial and take a look.

In an effort to be more systematic in my project planning I have translated DA's Natural Planning Model into a MindManager map. It is a straight copy of the model as shown on the GTD template card,...

Just wanted to say thanks for this Matt. Absolutely brilliant.

I'm not so much a procrastinator as just chronically overworked (my own fault - it's my business). I tend to allow myself to get...

...and as I say, I don't personally have a problem with his style, but some do and it would be good to be able introduce them to his great system a little more easily.
