My GTD system was working great for a while, then a number of disruptions came into my life (prospect of open heart surgery for a congenitally defective aortic valve, hurricane Wilma causing...

One other thing that has helped me, is that I've been using Listpro to manage my lists. When I complete an item within a context, I just mark it as completed but don't delete it. When I go through my...

I too was trying to come up with the perfect way to link NAs to the projects. I tried a couple of things and ultimately became very frustrated. I found my brain was constantly flipping from runway to...

Been using the 3x5 Mead memo books for years. I tried going to index cards and even backs of business cards since the edges of the notebook pages had a tendency to get a bit worn on me. Still came...

Yep, I understand the "use the tool that works best for you" comments. I just didn't know if the grid paper was used as a tool for some other aspect of GTD that I wasn't picking up on. So, how people...

I've seen several templates consisting of the graphics / grid paper. I saw one reference that said it was for mind mapping. I thought that mind mapping was best done on a blank white piece of paper....

David Allen commented on the use of colored plastic folders for travel purposes instead of the standard manilla folders which tend to get beaten up. I've gone to Office Depot, Office Max, etc. and I...

I’ve been toying with this also. I still prefer the task view over the Projects view, but once I complete a task I have a nagging urge to go to the Projects list and find the next action that I...

I ended up using an old PDA case for my 3x5 Hipster. I switched over to the digital since I'm behind my PC all day long at work. Good luck with whatever you go with.

I have an antiquated outlining program that I picked up years ago as shareware. It’s a very simple program and I’ve setup my GTD system in it. The problem I have is that it is not portable and the...

I had the same problem. Now I assign a project code or number to each project and each NA associated with that project has the project code as well. I use the numbers 1 – 99 as my project code...

I'm looking at getting a new PDA. Had a Palm Zire 72 previously but it was stolen. Just looking for some input from others before I go buy another one.

Thanks,

Good idea Barry! Now you've got me picturing myself GTDing in my hammock. :-D

What I'm trying to avoid is continuously scanning my lists and having to think about how much time a NA will take each time I look at the list of NAs, knowing I have a block of XX time I can make use...

I add significant / critical @Waiting items to my tickler file. The others that aren't as critical or significant I re-evaluate during my weekly reviews.

I was thinking of adding estimated times to complete an NA to my NAs. Is anyone doing this. It seems like it would be easier to scan your list and pick off certain NAs that might fit an available...

My company prohibits PDAs. Tried installing the trial version of Bonsai for Windows desktop, but it still seems to try and install the conduit manager. I don't intend on evaluating this for a PDA,...

I just started implementing GTD and at the present time, I am creating my system through the use of index cards. Here’s part of what I do.

If I determine that something is a project during my...

Just ordered my copy...woohoo!

Thanks for the replies. I guess my greatest concern is the backup factor. With the Hipster, there's no way to easily back it up and I do have some concerns about it remaining as portable as it is as...
