Issues with paper binder

Mr
Issues with paper binder - could help upload a quick new thread
1731938923462.png

Basically explaining scenario.

' where I maybe feel as if using my paper binder - it hasn't actually been as good as I imagined it could have been because of some few key reasons.

aSIX - had idea its worth I tag the original users (TSW @FocusGuy , @fooddude from memory) who were posting replies trying to convince me to use a paper binder - to try see if can help me solve the issue I T R.
Or if it worth it.

One of the issues I think was biggest was simply - from the begging 'not formatting the actual paper binder pages properly ' - I was asking users if they could show me examples of there templates, and only one user replied examples of his pages of a journal book template which is not the same.

And #2 - would be actually not being 100% familiar which sections spaces of the binder are supposed to be used for what.

'I have written about these issues else where.

I think we have said the tool doesn't matter. You can use paper or digital. I have 2 lists Projects & Someday/ Maybe and 7 Context lists. I use Apple Notes. But I did show how my system would look if I did paper. Projects and the very next action in context.

"(which could help implement L )
solving my issue - could help implement leos system ZTD (as he says you can use anything for your larger lists To - dos such as a moleskin for example, which made me think links to @FocusGuy saying - he uses type journals moleskins
but at same time its not needed for myself?

its a fact - there have been multiple posts I would think 3 at least - where tried to write about problems with my paper binder and I haven't actually finished them
'where the issue - could be resolved with myself uploading showing before and after pictures - of the pages of the binder- right

STN?'

@TimBourne

On this end, Getting Things Done for Teens seems very good for all ages as a very good 'GTD How-To Manual'

The USA addition is also very practical as it nicely stays open while in use to follow-along . . . I love it :)

As you see GTD fit. . . .

'again - you were referencing similar things here in a newer post which you submitted more recently.

but I'm not completely familiar with context of this thread [https://forum.gettingthingsdone.com/threads/issues-with-paper-binder.18736/] - how it differs to the one with @FocusGuy " SV

*or I see right now my notifications*

1733323756720.png

please see image attached*

its just shows one with @Wilson Ng - but not any of the others I was recently having with other users say - maybe 5 - 2 days ago.

an idea occurred it could actually - be worth I make a new post in the 'help section for tech issues' on this site - see if anyone such as @John @John Forrister - knows if there's option be able change settings so you get "alerts from tagged where users tagged me- users to stay in my feed do you know? " s

or 2) M A S P A I "
