How is your desk organized?
4ster | Feb 15 2006
Hi everyone. I am new to GTD and I need some advice on organizing my desk. Currently, I have a wire inbox and a stack of those lovely black, plastic, stackable trays labled "Agendas," "To Read," "Waiting for," "Delegated," "Someday," and "Projects." In each tray, I have manilla folders, neatly labled, with the relevant stuff in each folder. I should also say that I use Outlook 2003 for XP with the GTD plug in. It seems like I feel a need to make my physical desk a mirror (with the same folders) as Outlook. The problem is that, on a physical desk, space is at a premium, and I don't like working at an ugly desk. So any suggestions as to how you organize your space would be most welcomed. It seems like the hardest part of GTD to me (other than writing next actions instead of vague "tasks") is tying it all together (tying Outlook to folders on the computer to physical folders on the desk to folders at home, etc.) 5 Comments

 My work desk is lovely....Submitted by lovelyluna on February 17, 2006 - 11:02am.
My work desk is lovely. It has a nice open work surface. I have one of those wire stand up file holder things. Only current project folders go in the holder, the rest are in the drawer. I have an intray but I get most of my in items electronically so it never gets very full. My home desk is appalling. It features and overstuffed set of stacking trays, cloth diapers, sippy cups and an extensive crumb collection. » POSTED IN:
