Hi All,
I'm new to the forums, not really new to GTD. Have a lot of new(er) responsibilities at work (managing an offshore team, three onshore teams, and our overall project, plus trying to do work of my own). I'm lost. I used to have a to-do list, but it's gone to the birds. I find myself up at 1am most nights, regularly working 80+ hours (not effectively) and STILL losing track of items.
Do you have a few posts you can point me towards?
I'm considering the remote coaching from GTD. I keep my current to do list in trello, which worked well in the past. I just can't get stuff in there fast enough these days before I forget about it. I update the full Trello list about once every three weeks and it's a big pain to sort through. I like to plan out what I'm working on by day, so I used to have it set up to have one list per day and then I'd keep track of future items in an upcoming items column. Each week I'd move the items for the current week to the respective day and have my weekly to-do list. That doesn't work anymore.
I'm currently split between email (two onshore teams), JIRA (offshore team & one onshore team), and one big Trello list (personal). I want to get a system that can work for all three, that I can just use and not have to think about.
It's important to be able to have about 100 things in the list at any one time and quickly get to the ones that are imminently due (vs things to worry about in four weeks, but still need reminders for). I use Evernote for keeping track of random notes for my personal life, but never really liked it for GTD. I'm open to change, but just want to spend as little time as possible managing the system. So would be best if I could tweak what I have now
Best,
UH
