Hi guys,
(sorry for my English)
regularly, I ask myself if my GTD method is on track or fit and if I don't lose a part of my rigor.
Question about mails :
For the moment I keep my zero inbox, at the step of clarifying :
An e-mail enters, I read it fast and :
- if not actionable => reference or trash
- if <2 min, I do it
- If >2 min, I transfer it to a "TO DO" file in Outlook
But all my actions are kept in another to-do tracker.
So I have 2 different to-do trackers and I'm not sure it's totally correct. Because in my "TO DO" folder in Outlook, yes I know that this e-mail required more action, but I didn't really clarify WHAT IS this action (answer, research, deep work,...).
Furthermore doing this, my real action list is not really complete, because I've some "hidden to-do's".
Should I transfer my actionable e-mails to my action tracker (Evernote here)? But is it not a little bit overkill? Or keeping my actionable e-mail in this folder but adding a clarified task to my official to-do list?
Thanks, guys!
