Happy New Year all GTD-ers!
Ideas please. I've really worked on trying to get a handle on my current projects vs someday/maybe, and have discovered a sort of in-between category: definite projects, but not on the immediate/short term list.
So step one, once I realized they weren't exactly current, I found I could get more clarity by putting a "start date" as the next action on the hard landscape of my calendar. So far, so good. That's been great for not letting things slip between the cracks. But it has not exactly cleared my head. Many of these projects are just sort of simmering in the back of my mind -- not that I'm worried about them anymore, but the ideas are just flowing in this in-between period before I officially "start" the project.
So I'm making these jottings and notes, and during the weekly review I add them to my project support/backup folders.
Does this make sense? It feels right, but it certainly hasn't taken the project off my mind, which makes me wonder.
What do you all think?
thanks
Marcia
