Web developer getting started with GTD - Project question..
Matthew King | Feb 15 2008
Hi All, I've been reading through the GTD book this week, up to page 157 so far. One question that's been nagging me all along, is projects. For example, take the following 3 projects; Software Functionality A Software Functionality B Client Website A At the moment, I see the following options for working with projects:
I'm not sure which of the above is the correct way to do it, or the best method. As a thoroughly stressed out web developer with a mountain of work and overdue deadlines, I have been itching to sort out my workload with GTD but this part is really stopping me getting started. I would really appreciate any pointers. Many Thanks, Matthew 2 Comments

Having just read through all of the other threads on this matter, it seems its a common point of confusion with GTD! At the moment I'm swaying towards having project pages, with a defined outcome, and a brainstorm/mindmap, once I've entered a project, I'll extract the next action from the mindmap, and enter it in next actions. When I complete that, I can go back to the mindmap again and determine the next action. I don't quite like the idea of putting all next actions on the project page, as I want to keep them together in next actions, also I don't really want to list actions (note, not next actions) on the project page, and then moving them to next actions as they become applicable because thats a lot less flexible to change then a mindmap is? Think I'm starting to get my head around it, could still do with some clarification/feedback/advice though. Thanks, Matthew » POSTED IN:
