If I do 100% GTD that would be my two lists. I am a pathetic computer geek who played on computers for fun and then got a job in the computer industry. The only difference between what I do from 9 to 5 and 5 to 9 is whether my I am at home with my pets or at work with my coworkers. I don't travel. I don't spend time in waiting rooms or conference rooms between meetings with list of phone calls to make. I'm not a manger, so I don't even attend many meetings. I have very few distinct catagories to divide stuff up into. And one giant long list just turns into your run-of-the-mill ToDo list. I am at a loss how to apply GTD to my life when it is practically one big blob covering two standard deviations of what I do from the alarm waking me up to the alarm telling me it is time to go into hibernate mode. Has anybody else felt like GTD seems to be for "executives" only? 11 Comments

I use a similar technique to break down computer related tasks into types of work, such as HTML, programming, etc. For me, programming takes much more "cycles" than most other tasks.

My current context list is... @Admin I'm also reading "Never Eat Alone" as well. I highly recommend it. » POSTED IN:
