Hello everyone,
I just very recently started using the GTD method to boost my productivity especially as my life became a pile of meetings, projects and family commitments. I created a somehow manageable and solid system on Todoist and I am liking it but I need some answers to some rather basic questions so please bear out with me.
1- Lets say I am working on a task and I just finished it. Do I need to go to the system and mark it as completed or do I have to wait for the weekly review?
2- I have a rather long ongoing process of studying a Software Engineering course but it requires one recurring next action that happens daily (study for 2 hours). Do I still keep this in a project or separate as a one-off task?
3- If I was working on a task, and in the middle of it, I got something else on mind. I understand that I should capture it immediately and write it down. But what I don't understand is when should I process it? In other words, when do I organize it and see where it fits?
Should I do this immediately after I capture it?
Or should I wait till I finish the task at hand and do it?
Or do I wait till I am done with the tasks of the day and organize all the ideas/tasks that came in the middle of something?
Thank you!
