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 have no compassion for you. :-) If you don't think your tasks fall into enough catagories, my guess is that you just haven't yet found the key to dividing up your tasks. Your life sounds like mine minus the pets, and I've found that I have lots of catagories to divide my tasks into, usually falling along a spectrum of technical skill, from applications to users to infrastructure. And don't forget project lists. » POSTED IN:
