GTD - so far, falling off the wagon & dilemmas dilemmas...
direwolf | Jul 30 2006
I know, unwieldy subject title but it encapsulates where I am now. Some of GTD is working well for me, some isn't [I should probably say, *I'm* not working well] but I've only known about it for a few months so I guess I'm still at the 'tweak & bed in' phase. What's working; email - both work & home email clients now have @Action, @Reference & @Waiting folders which I put to good use. home inbox - I've now got an established physical inbox for stuff that previously used to spread out around the place [bills, CDs for re-filing etc] What's not working; weekly review - keep forgetting to do it [!] collection tools / NA lists - went for the analogue 3x5 card approach but whilst they hold everything, they look a bit bad [handwriting isn't the best] and I tend to not carry them with me anymore [like to travel light]. So, there I am at the moment. Maybe I should reconsider using some sort of PDA for collection/diary but I really wanted to go for something that didn't crash / need recharging / need re-synching but we'll see. Any thoughts / encouragement appreciated! Thanks. 18 Comments

For me personally...The simplicity of having almost everything contained in one unit is priceless. That is why I tend to do the PDA thing rather than LoTech. LoTech is good for those who are disciplined enough to manage it. However, I will be the first to admit that I am undiscplined. For those of us that are this way, the geek value is very important, because we can use a toy (if you will to manage all our "stuff"). If I can get excited about my tools, I am more likely to stick with the program. This is a big reason why Tracks, and the PDA work for me. » POSTED IN:
