? for those using .txt files for GTD
- Thread starter ext555

GTD is focused heavily on Contexts, besides Projects.
I'm not sure how you can associate tasks both to a context and a project using .txt files.
Anyway, if projects are part of a bigger project I would add these to a single file, or if in separate files I would name them so they stick together in the file explorer.

My latest incarnation of my system...
I keep a file for the list of projects -- one file for business projects and one for personal projects.
I also keep a file for each context which contains my next actions for that contexts.

I've also been toying with the idea of creating a single file for each project that holds the project name, description, notes, waiting fors, agendas, and next actions. If I format the file correctly, then it should be simple to write a program that can extract all the next actions into context lists. But too much going on right now to mess with it.
For now, the list-based approach is simple, and it mostly works.

thanks for all the responses ! I have found it helpful just to keep a txt file of current projects , one list for business, one for personal . Just glancing at everything at once will often lead me to add another task to my system .
it's nothing like my weekly review but just a quick " horizon scan " every day ..it really makes my brain settle down : )
