Learning and practicing, and then practicing more
Projects defined using the classic definition: anything outstanding (that requires more than one step) that you're committed to completing within a year. Also include 'subprojects' if you keep them on your projects list.
Bonus points: how many someday/maybe items in your system? How often do you actually review that list?
Extra credit: tool that you use? And do you keep everything in one system, or do you bifurcate between work and home? (Or other areas of your life.)
But those are bonus questions, what I'm really curious about is how many projects everyone is juggling/managing/tracking at a given time. I've seen a lot of numbers thrown around (some people have 10, others 30, others 80, etc.) so the bigger sample size on this the better!
I'm always curious how my current number of projects (54) stacks up against others -- particularly since the higher my project number the less in control I feel; for me, high project numbers are a strong indication that I'm behind on my weekly review and my life has shifted in some way and I need to review and regroup... in my copious spare time haha. (We're all busy..)
I'm also a software developer working on a fast little command-line GTD system that helps encourage the user in the right direction, and I'd love to be able to provide the user some feedback based on their number of projects -- ideally based on actual data, not just my guesstimates.
Thanks for voting and/or commenting; really curious to see what everyone says! (I searched the forum and couldn't find a poll like this so far, if it exists, I'd love to see previous data as well as how the community is currently doing)
