Hi all,
Just starting my journey in the GTD world. I had read the book many years back but never got the system working let alone fall off the wagon, I was never on the wagon .
While I'm working on finalizing the clarifying and organizing process, I'm curious what others are using for their reference system which has worked for them?
I'm almost 99.95% digital. 99% of my information / reference will be digital and many of reference sources are acquired via email. When I'm clarifying (triaging) my emails one at a time, when you land on an email which is a reference item (I'm still a bit confused about incubation & reference, if you park an item as reference to review later, isn't that incubating it?). I have few options that I can think so:
1) Create a @Reference folder in your Outlook folder list and move the email there
2) Extract info from the email (links/attachments/etc.) and save it in Reference OneNote Book
3) Save the physical email In a digital folder filing system (which is local on my computer, but is synced to the cloud)
Lets say you get an email from GTD Connect monthly / or weekly and you can't read/process/learn it in under 2 minutes, you want to save it as reference in your GTD project support material resources, and add task in your someday/maybe list to review this?
Trying to understand what has worked for others.
I'm in the Microsoft eco system (Outlook/MS Todo, OneNote, Onedrive for business) - I'm an Office 365 Power user but rough on GTD methodology.
Cheers
