I work in government contracting - business development (sales). I am new to the forum, and have been trying to use GTD ideas for 1 year. I decided to put everything at work into GTD utilizing Outlook 2007. I removed all categories and replaced them with the recommended categories from the guide. I am all set to use Calendar, Mail, To Do and Contacts in GTD utilizing Outlook.
I have created a category for every Project (each of my projects is a significant sales opportunity) for example: I have a Project named Defense - Army, IT. I really do not get what the next step is though. I have around 20 emails related to the project. I have completed a few tasks related to the project, and I have a few more in my head that I want to get into the system.
Do I create new tasks under the Project or in the Context?
If I create a new task in the Context, for example: @Office, how do I relate it back to the Project Defense- Army IT?
Do you guys take every email that comes in and move it to a folder under the Inbox folder?
What about Sent items?
