20K ft and higher and GTD
Jamie Conklin | Jan 24 2008
Hello everyone, I have a question after reworking my system and a year of practice. I have tried to go back through the archives and have not really found an answer. I understand the runway/10K foot (projects) aspect of GTD but not the higher aspect. Where do you keep the 20-50K information in your system? How does visions or goals of paying off a loan or earning x degree trickle down to the runway level? I am missing how the big picture works down to projects and actions for something that might take 5-10 or maybe 20 years. 2 Comments

I've borrowed a little from Stephen Covey for the 20,000 ft. review and have added it to my Weekly Review ... GTD "current responsibilities" and Covey's "roles" are essentially the same thing. As part of the weekly planning process under Covey, for each role you ask and answer "What is the one thing I can do this week that will have the greatest impact on this role?" I do this as part of my Weekly Review. As I do so, I check to see to what extent the answer to that question for each role relates to my one- to two-year goals, the 30,000 ft. view. I don't force the answers to fit my goals. Rather, I question whether my goals are still relevant and in keeping with my gut-level compass if the answers don't naturally support my goals. This has been a great reality check for me. In a couple of instances, I found a new goal emerge that supplanted an existing one, one that I wasn't as committed to achieving. This works for me, but of course YMMV. » POSTED IN:
