Getting rid of priorities
Herah | Oct 2 2006
I don't want to do priorities. Managing priorities was the biggest timesuck in my old system; I tended to get stuck in arranging the list and tuning my rules for arranging the list, and nothing got done. On the other hand, my @Work context has 255 active items. My @Home context has 375. Some of them will go away if I ever actually review the whole list, but -- I can't glance over that and make a choice for right now. I need smaller buckets. How do you handle this? 6 Comments

I flag a large number of my to-dos as Waiting. I know that in pure GTD, Waiting is for things that you are waiting on from other people, but I also use it for my tasks that have a prerequisite that's not completed. This keeps them off my Next Actions list. I still have the problem that my Next Actions list is too long, but that's probably because I have too may projects, and some of them need to be moved wholesale to Someday/Maybe (or Later, as someone else suggested). » POSTED IN:
