    Hello GTDers! I've already read all of Part I, Chapters 4-6 fully, and Chapters 7 & 8 partially. Quite frankly I'm exhausted after reading all the chapters and I just want to start implementing the basics and parts of Part II, and then go back and read when I feel like I've mastered what's being...

    Quick Trigger List

    Have any of you ever drafted and implemented a "Quick Trigger List"? I came across this idea after David presented his vision for the "ultimate GTD app" at the most recent GTD Summit. (For anyone interested and with the PDF containing the software plans, I'm referring to page 4.) The PDF can...

    How to train myself to "engage" from my system, not my head.

    Hi all! I've been doing my best to learn GTD over the past year or so, and I've noticed consistently that for me, the hardest thing about GTD is actually engaging using my system and not my head. In general I think I've gotten pretty good about getting everything out of my head, and I'm...

    Handling dependent tasks that are not part of projects

    For dependent tasks that are part of a project, the general advice seems to be that they should go in project support materials until it's time for them to become next actions. But what about dependent tasks that aren't part of projects? For example, let's say I've just signed up for LinkedIn...

    While I am continuously improving my means and ways on getting on the GTD methodology, I am just curious on how detailed do you write your Next Actions? David Allen said that NAs should be the next physical and visible next action, and my mind is literally absorbing this principle. If for...

    Project definition/format: full vs task+subtask form

    Hello all, (long thread -- brace yourselves :) ) I would like to get some feedback for what you think about how "projects" are defined and how they should accordingly be handled.
