How to use GTD as a general contractor

@René Lie

"no nonsense" . . . code for . . . "no head-scratching" ?

Definitly not. Its like everyting, it takes effort to let it look simple

Perhaps - and "No unneccessary bells and whistles"...

I'm on that route with a little twist. Since christmas holidays began here and i have been ill, i just had a week to try it out. Thats a little short i think...

@erikP

We do our best and 'leave'/postpone the rest ?

As you see GTD fit. . . .

You have one thinking:

"Crispy Clean-&-Clear" regarding as many aspects of life as possible . . . an arduous endeavor . . . simply what life demands/requires; all one can muster?

Thank you very much sir

I was hoping “GTD as a general contractor” meant David Allen would plan and supervise your major home renovations. My hopes are dashed.

@mcogilvie I'm sure @DavidAllen has it in his pre-GTD CV!

Really, thats all in my scope of works. The only thing being the locaties. Somewhere central in the Netherlands would be ok for me ;-))

Hi all,
As far as i can tell with the limited usage i had, it works! (For me, that is)
All the discussion here led me to make a little cover with penholder and a place to stick a small pack of post-it notes. So getting a call on a scaffolding, after i finish the call, i whip out that "booklet", make a note and put the post-it on the opposing side inside the cover. Making it a notepad and an in-box at the same time. When evening comes, i take out the used post-its and process them.
Its way easier and quicker than putting a note in my phone! Even with my sub-optimal handwriting!

And with this i hope to give someone another even better idea for his/her own solution to a similar problem.

For a flexible on-site digital system, you might want to try an app like Notion or Evernote for organizing notes, tasks, and client meetings. Pair that with a reliable task manager like Todoist for tracking supplies, orders, and deliveries.

General Contracting . . . like any of life's battle's . . . good GTD logistics are indispensable for coordinating-&-completing internal and external variables which are much more random than desired ?
