Hello
I recently implemented GTD and particulalry like using all day appointments - as tasks I 'must' and 'intend' to get done on a day. The trouble is I never finish the day's tasks, so I don't get to review my action lists daily. That means these (@PC especially) feel a bit scary - I'm not quite sure what's in there.
My understanding from the book is that you look at appointments, then all day appointments, and action lists when you've finished all of those. The trouble is I have about 40 @PC tasks (this is my main client work list). This feels like a cumbersome list to look at if I clear the day tasks. It would be impossible to scan that list and just get on with something, without getting back into thinking and planning. And I suspect this is why I'm relying on the all day appointments/tasks.
My second problem is that with about 150 projects and tasks, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and want to hide.
Does anyone have any suggestions on either of these points?
thanks
Ben
