I'm just starting out with GTD and wondering if there's anything I missed or potential improvements to the systems I'm using.
I'm working in flat files using EditPad Pro with color customizations and a project file to keep everything in tabs.
My collection devices are: Moleskine and an "IN-BOX" flatfile (as well as a physical inbox). E-mail tends to be 95% trash here, so I'm still working on that.
I have a Project list file that has a listing of all projects & subprojects. My major projects are Education, Finances, Home, Personal, & Work. Each of these have a project file with detailed information on specific projects. Specific projects have "status," "NA," "Waits," and "Exit Criteria" sections.
Next actions are in one file with @Contexts and #Projects defined. The Contexts section is for general use and the projects section for traceability.
I also have a Someday list - pretty sparse for now.
Could I improve this any?
Thanks!!
