Hey guys,
The situation: I have two sets of lists that are concerned with people in my life: Agendas (things that need to be done when I am with a specific person) and something I've temporarily dubbed 'Someday/People' (things that I might like to do someday with people that I care about, but arent 'urgent' agenda-type items).
The basic problem is this: I keep forgetting to look at these lists whenever I am actually with the person.
I've not found a solution for this yet. If I keep agenda lists next to the door (so that I can grab them on my way out to meet that person) I find that I will just go numb to it, because of all the other times that I walk out my door and don't need them. Too often I go out to meet that person and only on my way back I remember that I should have taken the list with me. The closest solution that I've come up with is anytime I arrange to meet with a person, I also put a note on the calendar to take the appropriate list with me.
I would love to know if any of you have had the same/similar issue, or if you have a current way of dealing with this.
Best
James.
Ps. I've been following the the GTD methodology by the book for probably about 18 months.. I have got pretty much every aspect of the book down apart from one thing that keeps evading me.
