Overplanning Projects
Stew | Feb 21 2007
I had some thoughts last night on whether it's possible to overplan projects. It's a bit lengthy for here, so I've posted it to my blog. It might seem like common sense, but I hope it helps some of you in figuring out the planning process. 4 Comments

Stew, Thanks for the post. Enjoyed reading it. It took me a while to realize that GTD lists are markers, reminders. To get everything out of one's mind means writing just enough down to trigger the right actions/thoughts. That's why I think DA emphasizes a master project list more than project plans. I can trust myself to think of the next step when the time comes. That said, I generally try to write down anything I think I'll forget--any essential actions and/or information. So my project support (for bigger projects) consists of reminders of crucial items, including deadlines. » POSTED IN:
