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'd agree with Jethro. I think pruning lists is crucial to keeping a GTD system functional. Otherwise, it's impossible to sort out what's important in the moment and what is not. This is exactly what happened to me. It's still very liberating to allow myself to dump a project to SD/M, even though I "really should" be working on it. It's about what's really happening, as opposed to my unrealistic expectations. And yes, it's extremely important to trust that the SD/M list will get reviewed every week! Do Mi » POSTED IN:
