Have any of you ever drafted and implemented a "Quick Trigger List"?
I came across this idea after David presented his vision for the "ultimate GTD app" at the most recent GTD Summit. (For anyone interested and with the PDF containing the software plans, I'm referring to page 4.) The PDF can be found here: https://gettingthingsdone.com/2019/07/david-allen-on-the-best-software-for-gtd/.
As part of the Quick Triggers List, David included the triggers:
- Agreements?
- Interactions?
- Events?
- New to-dos?
- Distractions?
- New ideas?
I've been experimenting with a custom Quick Trigger List that I review in place of a formal Daily Review. Most of the things that are typically included in a Daily Review, like checking my calendar, I do naturally without going through a systematized process. A Daily Review Checklist feels like too much. I LOVE checklists, but not when they feel like a Rube Goldberg machine.
For my Quick Trigger List, I've toyed with the following categories:
- Relationship(s).
- Bottleneck(s).
- What has my attention?
I've also thought about including other triggers, such as "Reminders via Due."
What does the community think about a Quick Trigger List that is ideally reviewed at least once a day? I don't want this to be something that I go numb to.
