Chas29;100944 said:Thanks for the posts. It's not habitual for me yet to read these forums, although it may escalate to that level rather quickly. We'll see.
In the meantime, I think the @surfing response was probably the best, although for me it would go on my @computer list. If my @computer list grows too long, I may break it into two lists, @surfing and @computer.

Neat distinction!
Thanks all,

I consider my GTD practice as an Area of Focus for me and my Connect membership is part of what I keep current on to improve my practice. An example I have as a project within that area of focus is:
Write descriptive Vision Statements for each of my Areas of Focus in order to make them more engaging.
A task under that vision statement would consist of writing one Area of Focus Vision Statement. Note that I will be able to check off both the task and project as "done" in the future, but my GTD practice continues.
vicve;100973 said:I agree. I think overall keeping up with the forums are an "Area of Focus" since there really isn't a definied end. However, as I am cruising through the forums, if I find a particular post I definitely would like to repsond to but don't have time at the moment, I will then add it to my "Actions" list. Additionally, if there is something I'd like to post but don't have the time in the moment, I'll add that to my list too.
Hope this helps!

I know others have suggested a "mark as unread" option for specific posts, but I don't know if this software actually allows for that. It would be a great way to bookmark the posts I want to re-read or respond to.

I've made notes in the past to check back and respond but, honestly, when I get back, even if it's the next day, the spark is gone. So take my feature request with a grain of salt, I guess (is there an emoticon for that?)
