By Job Number/Project name or by Client
Bert Mahoney | Jul 26 2006
I'm using GTD to manage my life as a self-employed entrepeneur. Been using it for a few months now and have strayed away due to the "business" of things and too many emergencies. Well tonight I'm getting back on board, just did a brain dump and filled over two notebook sheets with stuff that was stuck in my head after looking at a trigger list. When looking at how I have my primary information stored for GTD (I'm using Kinkless ) I'm finding an issue with how I'm structuring things at the topmost level. I have some things titled by project individually, then some projects are nested one level lower in a folder by client name. So, I'm not sure what is most effective. Creating folders for every client and then placing projects within them, or listing every project individually. Anyone wrestle with something similar and decide to go one way or the other? 4 Comments

My job ID system combines the Year, the Client Name & a number to identify jobs. So, a typical job ID would be: "J2006CAR05 - Summer Video Podcast". J for Job (E used for estimated but not approved), then the Year - then 3 letters to identify the client - and then a number for the job. (Always add a leading zero for the first nine jobs.) Then add a description. This Job ID can be used in the filing cabinet folder, Folders named like this should be filed alphabetically and will easily sort alphabetically in electronic files. » POSTED IN:
