TOOLS YOU USE FOR GTD
cpl.maniac | Nov 28 2007
I'VE BEEN LOOKING INTO DOING THE WHOLE GTD THING FOR THE NEW YEAR. JUST LOOKING INTO SOME IDEAS AS TO WHAT TOOLS TO START WITH. NOW TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF MY SITUATION. I AM A BUSINESS MANAGER, WHICH MEANS I ALSO NEED TO KEEP TRACK OF EMPLOYEES, SUCH AS TIME OFF AND SCHEDULING, NOT ONLY MYSELF. I DO HAVE ADULT ADHD. I'M IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER ONLY AT WORK. I DON'T EVEN HAVE INTERNET AT HOME (NOT ENOUGH TIME). I USE MY CELL PHONE FOR MY CONTACTS, BUT GOT SCREWED ONCE WHEN I USED IT FOR MY CALENDAR( A 2 YR OLD GOT A HOLD OF IT). I'VE REALLY ENJOYED USING 3X5'S WHEN PLAYING AROUND WITH THE "CONTEXT" IDEA AND ALSO THE UCD. DOES ANYONE USE THE MOLESKINE CALENDARS FOR ONE OF THEIR TOOLS? I NEED SOMETHING HIGH SPEED, PREFERABLY ANALOG, AND LOW DRAG. SMALL AND CARRYABLE (IS THAT A WORD?). ELECTRONIC PDA'S ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION. TOO EXPENSIVE AND TOO MANY BELLS AND WHISTLES. ADHD.....IS THAT A CHICKEN? I KNOW IT'S ALOT.....SORRY.....MY BRAIN IS DUMPING EVERYTHING AT ONCE. THANKS FOR EVERYONES TIME. 3 Comments

Given your working environment, I'd say you definitely want to use a paper system. There are a lot of good ones, the Moleskine calendars, Franklin Covey stuff, etc, and a lot of people here are big fans of Levenger products. » POSTED IN:
