Trying to setup GTD - Internet Business - Always Online
MoeBerry | Jan 8 2007
Hello new friends! I am nearly done with the GTD book, and I am trying to get a few conceptual questions answered. 1 - Are ongoing everyday tasks such as: These are divided by vendor in some ways, but the orders come into one website. So I am not sure if these actions are really contexts, or projects? If they are projects that are just permanently daily tasks, and not something that are ever going to be "completed"... 2 - Since I am always with my laptop, and phone, I am not sure the best way to setup my contexts? Should I divide things up by time during the day? ... like "morning work", "afternoon work"? The thing is I can pretty much do any task at anytime. Its nice, but frustrating as well. I am planning to use outlook as my trusted system, with the GTD add-on. 90% of my items are digitally stored, or at least have the key reference digitally. Your advice is welcome! 4 Comments

Context + "Costume"Submitted by Antemeridian on January 15, 2007 - 10:30am.

Arno answers: This is an interesting merger of the context structure with the "getting into costume" idea also mentioned . . . Perhaps by combining the contexts with the costume, you then increase chances of success, and make it easier to get moving. Even if, as you say, you don't necessarily need to be on the beach to read a book, just being able to get into something resembling that mental state can definitely be beneficial. » POSTED IN:
