hi 3 x persons above

' the words what I believe food dude last wrote,
'- are still in my mind - that the simplest form of GTD would be ' get 2 sets or stacks of lined paper and put 'next actions and 'projects - right?
On my FB social media I have shared information's of myself actually trying to do what is called "plan tomorrow or the Ivy lee list technique (for planning ).
'and its like VOICE says - I could for example have wrote back to food dude "- yeah I agree with that form of simplest GTD -" AND JUST START ALL FROM SCRATCH AGAIN, SHOULD I DO THAT?
or maybe share further what i am trying to do - to fix the problem I feel i have writing 'plan tommorow ' each day -
please see [

if you are unfamiliar with plan tomorrow - ted explains the most basic version of it .
I also had 2 other ideas of resources I could share with plan tomorrow 'if you write back here.
which is better?
I actually wrote..."You can take two
sheets of paper label one Projects and the other Next Actions." -That is just basic GTD
AND JUST START ALL FROM SCRATCH AGAIN, SHOULD I DO THAT?-I don't know the answer to that question. But I do know you are making this more complicated than it needs to be. I can tell we aren't helping and you are frustrated. I mean no disrespect, but there are some very smart people on this forum with great ideas. They have complicated formulas and procedures and codes for files and tags to cross reference projects with next actions. They have project planning sheets. I don't do that.
to fix the problem I feel i have writing 'plan tommorow ' each day -GTD doesn't plan tomorrow. It organizes projects and next actions in context. I have nothing "planned" tomorrow. But I have many next actions I will do when I'm in the context to do them.
Six years ago when I realized I was working on my system more than getting anything done, I wrote Projects at the top of a sheet of paper. I wrote Next actions on another sheet of paper.
I collected all my projects and wrote them on the sheet marked projects
Then I wrote down the very next action for my projects on the next action list. I worked just like that for about a week.
When I got a significant amount (20-25) next actions, I broke them down into David Allen's Contexts. I wrote the contexts at the top of the paper and then the next action from my next action list on a context sheet.
I worked like that a month and one of my projects was to find a digital app that I could use like sheets of paper.
I eventually settled on apple notes. I have a note (sheet of paper) that says projects.
I have several notes (Sheets of paper) with contexts. I haven't changed this in six years. And I don't add fancy, complicated steps.
I have the very next action in context listed in that context note.
Once I am done with the project, I remove that entry from the project note.
Hope this helps.
