You need to take Action X when a certain invoice arrives. You can't use a tickler or an alarm reminder because you don't know the date upon which the invoice will arrive. You could put a reminder in a Holding Until... device, but you have lots of similar pending actions. Daily review of Holding Until is time-consuming. What's the best way to deal with this? dp 5 Comments

Waiting Fors Get Reviewed Daily, Right?Submitted by Todd V on August 31, 2007 - 9:54pm.
If I'm not mistaken, David Allen's GTD system?at least as I understand it from the book?suggests following up waiting fors daily. If you review this list daily and put an item like "Waiting for Invoice X to arrive" on that list, this should keep things from slipping through the cracks, no? That's how I handle tasks like these and it seems to be working fine for me. » POSTED IN:
