Hi all,
I got the GTD book a week ago and I'm looking forward to implementing it over this next slow week at work.
I have a job at work where I will attend several meetings about slightly different, but related, projects. I have been taking these notes on a regular notepad. This may sound like a simple question, but what do you do with the notes after they are done?
If I "process" them, it sounds like I should look through the notes, identify any actions/waiting fors that need attention, write those on a separate tickler or make a reminder in a calendar, and store the notes as reference in a folder that is designated for that project.
However, I see the drawback of that as not having my meeting notes always "at hand." This is important if:
- If I am in a meeting on project A and need to look up something related to project B
- If I am working off-site and need to look something up. If the info is stored in folders, I'd have to lug several folders around.
Some other people in the office have a permanent notebook (kind of like the lab notebooks used in science class, where you can't rip the pages out), and they take that to every meeting.
Can anyone offer words of wisdom?
While I'm on the subject, if anyone has any suggestions for nice looking looseleaf notebooks (leather cover or similar), please suggest.
