Unnecessary to write . . . just keep doing your GTD best with Paper-&-Pen
As you see GTD fit. . . .

Mr

like not doing anything '
" keep doing your GTD best with Paper-&-Pen" means what exactly?

Usually a good idea to go for a careful walk if feeling overwhelmed . . . also good way to start the day?
"keep doing your GTD best with Paper-&-Pen" means use Paper-&-Pen to to keep track of all concerns
As you see GTD fit. . . .

Good job in walking . . . your doing better than many
Keeping things tidy can be challenging
One Notebook was suggested to help keep things tidy
However, perhaps two Notebooks might be a trusted system without overwhelm
One Notebook for Projects
One Notebook for Contexts done inside your home
One simple sheet of paper for Next Actions to do outside your home to eliminate any concern of losing a Notebook and plenty of space for Capturing while out-&-about . . . don't forget a pen or two with sunglasses
for eye healthContinue helping yourself . . . your doing a good job

If you ever see me buying a $50 notebook, you know I’ve won the lottery. And, even then I wouldn’t do it.
I like any ruled notebook or yellow pad. In recent years, I scan any handwritten notes into my digital system, so the quality of the notebooks don’t matter to me.

Only suggesting what this GTDer would do with the partial circumstances as you, a fellow GTDer describes
Suggesting only two notebooks and only one piece of paper to help keep things more easily tidy:
1. One Notebook for all Projects in one place
2. One Notebook for all Contexts in one place for what is done inside your home
3. One sheet of paper for outside of home Next Actions list to not forget anything to do while outside of home

Mr
i agree that getting a 50$ notebook- i felt it didn't make sense when i saw that suggestion becuase im not the same as Cal N - a type of scientist '
right now - i don't do any 'digital scanning of handwritten notes ' into a digital system.
not sure i would have time to do that?
thanks
TimBourne
Mr
right?
right but - i must have already "projects' and contexts' in a paper binder (which written to other users,
right,
while outside of home?
You thi- writing you think its better to start all over again with notebooks?
'one of problems i feel i have is: just getting started doing things,
'I'm constantly putting things off,
fear to make investments ,"

Weekly Review
1. One Color Notebook* for all Projects in one place
2. One Color Notebook* for all Contexts in one place for what is done inside your home
3. One sheet of Color Paper* for outside of home Next Actions list to not forget anything to do while outside of home
"I'm constantly putting things off"
"just getting started doing things"
Make starting as Small-&-Easy as possible
"fear to make investments"
Good, you do better than most
Always make investment smaller as small as possible so all investments can at least compound through increased understanding
As such, inexpensive (99p/99¢) notebooks and inexpensive reliable PaperMate pens . . . thinking disposable is OK for you as good environmental steward, perhaps much, much better than most
Continue helping yourself . . . your doing a good job
As you see GTD fit. . . .
*You choose the Colors that best suit you
Suggesting 99p/99¢ Gold-ish Notebook for Project Reasoning
Suggesting 99p/99¢ Red Notebook for Context Doing
While it might be difficult to find;
Caution Orange paper could be a very suitable color for outside of home lists as a clear reminder to be especially careful when outside of the home for increasing outdoor relaxation with appropriate awareness

right - so should i first - address what i should do with my previous ' contexts ' papers i wrote to other users about?
You would use a different colour to white?
right? But its hard to do
in my room which is cluttered with objects '
You must have misunderstood (i was writing - i feel bad because im not making the types of investments (i need for myself with money - in order to grow or become rich ' (i am like most people - putting off finical investments probably to try to save?
you write that its always better to make as small investments as possible because they compound better ?
I got two types of note books ( different types) since creating this post '
I already have two types of different branded ' sharpie type pens 0.5 ml pack and 0.7 ml pack (i got over the last 1-2months - after I saw a type of tim De moss video (saying that he finds these pens best for annotating books - tried it , and I think I found the same!
'i should tell myself im doing good for self help?
right we need to move
right i got 1 brown and one blue
(I got different types then that
I got 1 type which was about 10 000P (a user suggested above called stationary island
different coloured paper too white? orange paper?
I don't think i have that * - is it needed?
I should thank you for writing this post?

' @edward @Dave Edwards and the first user mark
- I could picture the first type of 2 different style note books I obtained on my desk *
please see
My 2 new note books (for X-mas) one on the right was from user @Mark R (about 300 pages for 10£ it was?, then on the left is cheap 80 page (about half the size, -
I started writing first in the big 'stationary island back page with title (portable memory bank - making actually using it for a reason/purpose (which is probably different like completely (to the entire/whole reason which cal newport wrote the subtitle (get a type of 50$ journal! - and the reason i was writing now - was like trying to further best /decide or manage how to use - ' the 2 note books (with the purpuposes 1 system to go to - e.g. (I don't want to ruin them, messy
"then i could expliain - that I got a type of free document called "win wengers brain boosters" online- made it into a type of ME PDF format ,making anotation notes , trying to keep simple - and he says read 1 chapter per day
in the first chapter it is portable memory bank, it reads " COPY RIGHT SAFE QUOTE "
Exercise 1: The Portable Memory Bank
The key to being more creative is to have a quick, convenient, easy way to respond to your own
ideas and then to take initiative with them. This first exercise is a fundamental tool that is at
the core of Dr. Wenger’s work. He suggests that you carry around with you, EVERYWHERE,
either a notepad and pen or a small pocket tape recorder with mike. For a while, EVERY time
you catch yourself thinking, EVERY time you catch yourself having an idea good or bad,
EVERY time you notice something in your perception or awareness, jot down in that notepad
or record in that recorder your idea, perception, or awareness. He calls this tool a “Portable
Memory Bank.”
If you record even as few as fifty ideas per day for five days in a row, it will literally be like
you’ve found yourself in an altogether different world. You will unveil an awareness and
perception that enriches and enhances your life. Record even as few as thirty observations per
day for as few as three straight days. Write down any specific perceptions on anything that
comes to mind, both around you and within you, and you’ll truly find yourself in a wonderful,
richer universe.
W"
(first 2 paragraphs)
so this is the first purpose (which i am using my large blue journal for on the back page - maybe the users tag here could (help me suggest actually - how's best to use the other space/sections in my journals (other than GTD contexts- which @GTD solo-student wrote which is seriously struggling with my ADHD?), the spaces in them *
"
Win suggests that you record your observations and ideas on anything and everything. He
reminds you that you are never certain whether an idea is good or bad until you’ve got it out on
the table. So he encourages you to record the whole insight or idea BEFORE you decide
whether it’s good or bad. Some ideas may seem silly, but you will find that many will be good.
You may also find that some of the ideas that seemed to be the silliest, once you really look at
them, will turn out to be terrific. Be sure not to edit yourself until AFTER you’ve fully
expressed, recorded, and mulled through an observation or idea."

(in this fourm- because it could attract views/attention (to help better schedule my life for intelligence?
or also - should i post it on another fourm (which is more popular on specifics for developing intelligence? maybe users on this fourm reading this would know?

'empty the clutter'
i went - opened the first black binder on my bedroom door.
and then opened, - took first page and put it into 1 of the second bins in my room.
'-it just look like general to do list? probably, is a fact.
"maybe - the reason i was writing this right now was because : about the topic of : the negative of decluttering things in my room.
@gtd solo-studente - do you actually think that argument - has ' a reason behind it valid? (that for someone who is 'harder' doing something getting rid off stuff - can make them less successful.
or that i am just procrastinating to the 'project of cleaning my room' - and the act of doing this is hindering my focus/productivity (with lots of objects - taking my attention at time passes?
do you understand ?
