Reviewing projects on Hipster PDA
ops30 | May 12 2006
Greetings to the 43F Board... This is my first post to the board. Thanks to all who do post regularly, I have learned a great deal just from reading about all the different ways of implementing GTD. I am currently using the Hipster PDA to manage projects and next actions (calendar events / contacts are kept on my cell phone's PIM). Each project is kept on a card with next actions & project support info listed on the card (very similar to how Emory uses index cards). Out of curiosity, I was wondering out of those with a paper based system of project tracking (hipster or otherwise)...how often do you review your projects for next actions? I know the standard GTD answer is "during the weekly review", but are there those who review more frequently in order to stay on top of high-priority projects and ensure that there is a next action on the list? If so, what triggers you to review? If you are having to remind yourself to scan your projects before the next weekly review, then how do you keep the "mind like water" state? Thanks for any info you can send my way. 2 Comments

Ahoy, and welcome. As you probably are aware, I like to use the word "promote" when I work with my cards and move things from Project cards to Context cards. I surf my Projects for things I want to do that week and put them on the context cards that are most appropriate, but when I've exhausted a card, I do a micro-review and promote things then as well. Sometimes I'll have a muckety-muck say "hey this is a high priority," and I'll focus on that particular project and promote more from there, but otherwise I find that constantly looking at all of my project cards is a detriment to my productivity, so I leave them in the Rope case as much as possible and work just off the context cards. » POSTED IN:
