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

I second the call to a checklists and tickler items. I have checklists for a lot of things. For the kitchen, there's a checklist/calendar on the fridge, dry erase, of every chore that needs to be done that week. Once a week, you rotate in other chores (I don't wash my exterior windows or change the filter on the HVAC weekly, but every few months they make it to the weekly checklist). Once done, an occasionally recurring item goes into the tickler. Relationships can benefit from checklists as well, just make sure you hide those from view. » POSTED IN:
