My Getting Things Done effort starts NOW! I wrote about it sometime ago, 3 Rules to Getting Things Done but I start a sincere, spirited and follow the philosophy effort today!
here is a quick snapshot of the GTD Method, as understood by me. I will over the coming days, talk more & more about each in detail.
IMP| I wanted a completely electronic GTD system, hence this effort will only allow for that!
3 requirements
>Capture everything in one central place
>Clarify your commitment; specify your action
>keep reminders & review constantly
Collect Everything
|
What is It - Actionable / Not Actionable - Trash/Someday Maybe/Reference
|
Can be done in less than 2 mins? - DO
|
NO? Who to do?
|
Me / Someone Else - Delegate
|
Me create project
Create Next Action Required
Put it on calendar OR Someday List
Create Support & reference material - links
Next Action Categories
>Time - Specific actions- have to be done at a particular time
>Day specific actions - can be done anytime that day
>Day specific information - I just need to know something that day, nothing else
Everything else that doesnt need to be done at a particular time/date goes into a NEXT ACTION/ACTION list
Someday/Maybe Lists - everything that you want to do sometime in life
>You can also create sublists - like music/movies/books/etc
WEEKLY REVIEW!
FOUR CRITERIA used to decide what to do
> Context - call/home/office/waiting/research
> Time Available
>Energy Available
>Priority
Six- Level Model for Reviewing WORK!

Planning Model
