Creative reminder checklists
Daniele Procida | Dec 31 2007
David Allen says that there are seven types of things that need to be kept track of:
But then at the end of Chapter 7 of GTD, he suggests how useful it is to maintain plenty of checklists of creative reminders. So what are these? They don't fit into any of the above categories, and he doesn't say how or where there should be organised. 5 Comments

 Ways to Keep TrackSubmitted by MarinaMartin on December 31, 2007 - 11:57am.
I started out keeping a dedicated "Movies to See," "Books to Read," etc. sheet of paper in a folder alongside my project support materials. This got really annoying, really fast. When it comes to tracking things like this, I think it's easiest to keep the list in the place you're most likely to consult when you want to consume something on it. For example, I add any movie I want to see to my NetFlix queue. It might take a few years, but this way I'll consume it at one point with zero extra effort on my part. I add books I want to consume to my AllConsuming.net list and access the RSS feed of "Items I Want to Consume" via my Blackberry whenever I'm at a bookstore. I add music I want to download to a "Wishlist" playlist on iTunes. (If the music isn't on iTunes, I add it to AllConsuming.) Since I use del.icio.us for all my bookmarking, I'll tag interesting vacation sites as "tovisit," things I want to read as "toread," and so on. » POSTED IN:
