GTD system: help?
supermph | Mar 2 2007
hello. I am an 18 year old who is new to GTD. I have been reading up a storm, and the 43 folders site is a daily stop. I have created a sort-of lofi-hifi system, and was looking to hear what everyone thought. All input or suggestions are greatly appreciated. My system is a joint effort between my laptop, treo, and planner. I will do my best to describe all their uses: Laptop: Treo: Planner: So thats the system. Anyone have any ideas on how i can improve it? also, any ideas as to a replacement for the planner, as it is a cheap one and would need to be upgraded soon. GTD tips for a newbie also help. Thanks!! 6 Comments

I'd suggest making a checklist in which you (1) list all of your inboxes, and (2) list your partitions: calendar/tickler/projects/somdaymaybes/nextactions, and exactly where they go. If there's any overlap, partition, so that your categories are distinct, and you can put walls between them I did exactly this kind of process, listing all inputs and storage areas. It was a big help in me getting my head wrapped around actually using GTD. It really helped me clear away some of the "roadblocks" I had in my system. You have to try to make the desired behavior, ie using the system, as easy as possible. » POSTED IN:
