What kind of things do I want to keep track of?

Posted by phdblogmeister on November 16, 2007

In GTD the major categories lists I found useful were:

  1. Projects
  2. Next Actions
  3. Waiting for
  4. Someday/Maybe
  5. Calendar

(p. 140)

It should be noted that these are hard copies to be kept in manila folders, or in some other system you may have. These lists are also refered to in the context of hard edges.

Waiting on, and the “Next Action”

Posted by phdblogmeister on November 16, 2007

In terms of the process flow diagram presented by David Allen (p. 32) in GTD, I often think about the waiting on items under the what’s the next action, which is sorted by delegate it.

One idea I had was to capture these waiting on items in the form of a weekly report by project. I’ll give it a try and let you know how it works out.

When I have “stuff” to process what do I do first?

Posted by phdblogmeister on November 16, 2007

Well, according to David Allen (p. 122) in GTD process as follows:

  1. Process the top item first
  2. Process one item at a time
  3. Never put anything back into “in”

So these means if you have a piece of junk mail on top of a note from the CEO to you, process the junk mail first.

Refer to the diagram in the GTD section of the blog for what the process flow, because there are further categorization that you must follow, if for example the action will take you more then 2 minutes, it’s a multi-step project, etc
