GTD in the IT Profession
michaelramm | Apr 13 2006
I was wanting to see what other IT professionals are using for their system. What kinda blends of HiFi/LoFi do you employ? What contexts do you use? What contexts do you have but don't use very well? Are you blending personal with job? I sometimes struggle with my system because of the REACTIVE nature of my job. I am a 1-man IT Dept. and while I do have projects that fit really well into my system, there are the unpredictables that make me stress out...email is down, cannot print to XXX, and the always important, My system is SOOOO slow today. My contexts are: * @Work [general context, may leave system] * @Website [both job website and personal website stuff] * @Home [general context] * BrainDump [where I just dump NAs to be processed later] Right now I am still using the Tracks, for to-dos and projects, with a Moleskine, for a hard landscape. But the hPDA seems soo cool...ARGHHH! I hear a lot about Google (which went live today)...should I replace my Moleskines?!? I guess I need to stop tweaking and just use it and shut up. Anyway, I just like to see how others implement GTD in their lives, esp. those with similar interest (or jobs) to me. Michael 4 Comments

That is a good approach. We are a small municipality and we have 3 main locations and 3 fire stations with one computer at each. Of the three main locations, there is a police officer at the Public Safety building who handles most of their IT stuff, even though I am ultimately responsible. He his a good IT guy and has a good handle on the situation there. At our other building, there are only 4 computers and one 'server' there. They are very low maintenence so I don't worry much there. At my location, which is City Hall, there are 40 users and one all-in-one 10 year old Novell server. My main project now is transistioning the network from Novell to Windows, which will take the better course of a year to fully implement. I really have one location to deal with so I decided to break it down the way I did. This will work even better after the transistion because I should be able to do any and all software support from my desk, and only go to the user's workstation when there is a hardware or peripheral issue.
