"post about follow up

What is follow up?
It has type company website, which I could hyperlink.
How to Use FollowUpThen. The free andeasy email reminder
From my knowledge - it’s a type of e-mail company programme which is world wide - which allows type of user accounts to - make or save certain contacts in there e-mail account (saved as actual contacts or persons) - where (when the user sends to a certain titled address say 3 daysv follow up or 1 week follow up (the email is then sent back to the users inbox in that tim.

Myself Tim - only have ever used this basic feature of follow up which is quite paradoxical because almost all the time (when I have been sent a 'follow up' email- I have actually also not really done anything the the message a second time.

Obviously the reason for this type of company - is to send reminders.

The purpose of this post is also see if other users have any experience how to properly implement.

maybe @gtdstudente or @René Lie come to mind.

P.S.

this links to my previous posts about implementing e-mail.

@TimBourne

Good GTD thinking

"Follow up" can pertains to a particular idea or something started that remains unproductively incomplete with life quality concerns

Incomplete Next Actions after starting can be a fundamental source of stress according to subjective understanding of David Allen
Would agree as being a self-evident universal truth and a possible health concern

Thus, corralling one's "Follow ups" might be a healthy solution in the right direction ?

"Follow up" can a good verb in general or in particular a:
Project
Context
Next Action
Waiting For item

As you see GTD fit. . . .
 
These services might be helpful to some, but for me it would just add a layer of complication to my system. I have enough confidence that my system will alert me to things that have to get done.

I just use a label. Then it's easy to get my inbox to zero. I try not to work from email so I limit as many emails as possible. But it really can't be helped. 1738678857240.png

I have three labels I move emails to. Follow up, to read, and waiting for. I don’t need an outside app to do it. I use Gmail too.

'
what's difference between read and follow up?

I use to have 3 labels in Gmail when - first using ?

Makes it easier for weekly review. Follow up and waiting for go in my system

oh your saying - that both of them are used to defer doing the action right now
fooddude said:
. I try not to "work" out of email. To read is just that something I got I want to read later.
Click to expand...

your saying you use the folders to defer reading to later

'is it helping me writing about your emails right now comparing ot mine

if I don't do reviews lie yourself or understand how the folder labels make it easier for you to review? "

Yes. If I read the item and do it then, I delete them then. If I defer I put them in the read later or follow up folder. At my weekly review I put follow up and waiting for into my system.

right
so

you use the weekly review to - for things as a 1 week deference if you were unsure from immediately reading
maybe I should try following this also?

or im not sure what's really difference exactly between read later or follow up?

I use the weekly review to capture all my loose ends. My goal is to not have any open loops in my system. It is a way to get it into my system from email so I don't have to look in two areas. Yes it might be a week. If it is more urgent to me i might do it when it shows up. If it is time sensitive it goes on my calendar. Waiting fors for me are usually not that urgent. If they are they go immediately into the system. I don't have that many that I wait on. Usually, I put them into my system and not hang out in email.

You can see how I have it set up in the image I attached. When I check my email, I either do it then (two minute rule). Or I put it in one of the three Labeled folders. Any email I send that I know i will be waiting for a reply or any action, I BCC myself so I can put it in waiting for.

I just use apple calendar. day specific things go on as all day events. Time specific things go on the day and time. I don't use calendar as a to do list. It's just basic David Allen GTD.
