Lots of new responsibilities: Looking for advice
Pranish Kantesaria | Dec 31 2007
Hey all, I just went from being a resident with 0 administrative responsibility (except for patients) to being in charge of the pharmacy department of a 220 bed hospital with about 40 or so people I'm responsible for. Basically I'm freaking out. I need advice and I've just bought GTD and am looking for ways to keep up before I inevitably fall behind. Any advice, suggestions, or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated. [Ed's note: I "bumped" this question because I missed it first time around, and I'd love to hear what sorts of advice people have. -- Merlin] 18 Comments

I am in the medical field and here is my systemSubmitted by kizhou on December 31, 2007 - 7:34pm.
I am a surgeon who is excited about his system for getting things done. I tend to leave early in the morning and come home late at night. All contact with my desktop occurs only at home. The program I use on my desktop is called Things. I have tried all the others and this one is the easiest for me to use. While on the road, I use notes on my iphone to enter text todos and reqall.com to gather todos when I am driving and cant tpe in items. Each night I empty all my todos into Things and each morning I dictate my today list into reqall. It takes about 2 sec per item to dictate the items. Reqall emails me the list while I am on my way to work. I get essentially 100% capture I and I get things done. There is some redundancy while I empty items into Things at night and empty back into reqall in the morning, but this is when my planning takes place. » POSTED IN:
