I am getting ready to reorganize my filing system. Having read David's books, I'm guilty of mixing reference and active files together. This is going to be a huge project. What resources are...
Where/how does GTD recommend storing reference manuals for office equipment and supplies? ( cell phone guide, printer, PC, etc). What about the CD's that accompany say the PC?

Processing is the key here. You may find it easier to separate the capture from the processing. I do this by tearing the pages from the notebook whenever I'm back at my...
When processing through your paper in box, what do you do with the single pieces of paper that you are not going to take action on right then, but are a single sheet of paper that you want to refer...
Marc--
Could you expand on your commet about labeling and coloring differently on your calendar? Thanks
I may not be understanding the processing step. When I read my emails, I'm asking is this an email I can process in less than 2 minutes? If yes, I take care of it. If no, then I move it to my...
Looking forward to exploring your great idea.
Very interesting Myriam. Would you be willing to share an example of your spreadsheet with me?
So when you do your weekly review and you decide you are going to work on X, Y, Z NA's, do you schedule those on your calendar? How do you keep those specific NA's top of mind for the week?
What weekly list? I don't recall reading about that?
Thanks. That helps clarify. If I have more than 3 work and 3 personal projects they would be captured on a project page in the capture section.
Have you actually worked with the rule of three? Is that 3 personal projects and 3 work related projects? What happens when life or work dictate more than 3, how do you deal with that scenario?
Lately I've noticed that I have Next Actions for my Projects that are not moving forward.
My understanding is that the calendar is only for things that must be done at a certain time or on a...
I'd be curious..what contexts are working well for you?
Where in the DA paper planner do you capture your areas of focus/responsibility and all the projects associated with those?
Do you keep the Next Action for each project on one master Next Action list? or do you have them separated some how on multiple context lists? I like the concept of 'bookmarks" . That was helpful.
I'm also just starting with a paper system. I purchased the David Allen GTD paper planner. It includes samples for each of the sections: projects, next actions, etc. Found that to be helpful.
Where can I find the one page excel spreadsheet? What is the book title?
I've purchased the Paper Planner and began setting it up today. Can anyone clarify ....
I have some projects that occur routinely each year ( tax prep, Christmas tasks, sailboat winterizing,...
