Hi all,
I have been on and off GTD for 6 years and love the methodology but I have had a major obstical the last few years. I started my own company...And we are working basically from Google drive. Here everything lives. Referens, checklist, finance, project etc. We have an professional folder were everything is subfolder from there. My team are not GTD-ers and just maintaining a "clean house " is hard because we are growing and things are developing very fast. I also use evernote that has become my salvation in private of some sort because of the easy use of tags and keeping it simple but it makes the information even more scattered around. We uses different form of chatt and emails to get the latest version of some project and it really drives me crazy. I want a more declutterd filesystem that can grow and work in a team.
How do you do in an organization were you have documents (docs), plans, projects were you collaborate? I have tried an A-Z solutions. But it takes a couple of days before it's 5 to 9! folders deep. And suddenly we have the relevant document in a old version becaise of the non logical way of storing it. Just using evernote for referens is impractical because you would need a database from were the document is created. Quite often we create sheets that easily lives in google drive. How do you use evernote with the files you have to create elswere. For example a document that might be updated? It's easy with a webb clipper but documents that has to export to different programs like office word feels impractical?
I can't find a solution or attack point to get in the right direction. Should I forbidd files to be touched in our file system? So that everybody are to store on there side? It's like everybody is sharing the same kitchen but put the plates in different locations based on how they work and think...
This is a huge obstical and I really need input here.
