Hello everyone, this is my first post.
I read through GTD and implemented
the system back in January. I'm reaping
the benefits nicely ... thanks David!
Recently I reviewed the system and
have realized that it is very important
to make sure your projects are defined
by the outcome you wish to attain.
Now the confusion I have, is how to
label my folders that have material
for these projects.
For example:
I develop web sites, and a project would
be to "Add contact page to web site".
Then I go and brainstorm this project, then
organize the thoughts on pen and paper. So then
I want to put these pages into a folder for
this project.
I'm resistant to label the folder by the
project name "Add contact page to web site" because
since i work on myany sites, I'll have a bunch of
folders that begin with "add" or "create" or
"write" which feels wrong.
I also don't want to label the project too
general, like "enhance site" because too many
other projects will be the same.
So in general, I want to know how people label
their physical project folders, or any thoughts
on this issue.
Thanks a bunch !
