Patching GTD for repeating actions
stevecooper | Oct 28 2005
GTD seems to me to focus very much on helping with a certain kind of thing; it's the one-off project. Roughly; - You figure out what you want to achieve But what about those things you never complete? 'Keep the house tidy' isn't something you do once and forget about it. Nor is 'Keep fit' or 'Keep my relationship great' or 'Maintain vehicle'. So how do you fit the action these goals create into GTD? I don't think it's written into the system - I think it needs a patch. Anyone got any ideas for how to do this? If you already do it, how are you doing it? Thanks for any ideas, Steve 10 Comments

One method I've found success with is to create a separate 'weekly' list, broken down by day of the week. This list gets put aside and then consulted during the weekly review, as I plan out the upcoming week, normally on Sundays. It includes all those things that need to be done x number of times per week (cycling, gym, etc.), as well as stuff that needs to happen on a particular day (market night on Thursday). As mentioned in a previous post here, a lot of this can be handled using your calendar program. » POSTED IN:
