I am curious about how you are doing a few things:
A. Do you use lists? Like a list with stuff you borrowed to other people; a list with all the things you need to check when doing your weekly review; a someday/maybe list; etc.. and if so;
A1. where do you keep it (in a file or on the pc?)
A2. and how do you edit them (by pc/printer or just by pen)?
B. And another very important thing for me; I have all sorts of crazy ideas and I want to organize my inspiration; however if I just make notes of some ideas and put them all in a file it gets a little bit messy and I need a way to organize this in a good way. Any ideas? |
I sort of luck out, in the fact a lot of my work is done at home. So when I log into
Nozbe, about 90% of my Contexts are near my office...Phone, Home, Office, Computer, Internet...then, Nozbe supports a printable version, so when I go out to do Errands, I can print all my next actions for when I am out and about.
My projects are held exclusively in Nozbe. The reason being that I can edit, arrange, and add next actions to a project simplistically. I can then print out an updated list whenever I like. As I said in my last post, I dunno how anyone does GTD exclusively on paper. Maybe I am not to the point yet where I can plan out something perfectly on the front end, but things are always changing and new ideas being added. The fact I can add notes, attach files or actions on the fly is too awesome. If I am not going to be around the office, I just print a generic list of next actions and clip it onto my hPDA
As for things being added, most of my brainstorming is done with my Hipster PDA (Which my brother now carries too cause of me, we call them PAA's...personal analog assistants, lol), and then I either translate the ideas onto a note within Nozbe, or I scan (if its legible, which it usually isnt) and add as a file to the specific project.
I try to keep things digital, unless it takes more than 2 minutes to convert, then I file it in my general reference. Which segues perfectly into

Thanks for the support.
I have a 4 drawer filing cabinet coming to me from a family member, so I am waiting on that. I dont have it yet, and it is frustrating, because I have a crate, which helps, but it is really restricting me in filing things quickly and easily. I am really looking forward to having a filing cabinet where I can keep my general reference, my blank file folders and my printer paper.
GTD is really a great methodology, and extremely simple once you get going. Everyone should at least implement the concepts of ubiquitous capture and especially "hard landscape" into their lives.
