My GTD system is pretty simple. I keep all my lists in plain text files. I use an app called MacNoteTaker which allows me to sync folders with text files on my Palm. The MacNoteTaker app on the Palm allows me to edit them. MacNoteTaker Rocks!! It is the one of the biggest things I missed moving from the Mac to Linux. Any Mac user with a palm pilot should check it out. jshock wrote:
An important lesson I've learned - be flexible and keep it simple. Don't be afraid to continually tweak your system. If you spend more time on the system than on getting things done, then something is wrong. I'm brand new to GTD (about 10 days) and still developing my "Trusted System". It has been very helpful to read what others are doing and what is and isn't working for you. It gives me great ideas of things to try and directions to go. I feel like I'm spending much more time on my system than being productive but I assume that is natural when just starting out. I am amazed by the effect that even using just a few of the GTD methods has had on my working day. I gravated to the Next Action and Project Lists first as I felt the "Mass of Undoableness" comment was pointed strait at me. Next I'm trying to find time to do the mass collection and purge. I figure that I'll have a much better feel for my trusted system after that. I'll post once I get more of a system put together and see what you think of it. Thanks CRuss » POSTED IN:
