Reading: what kind of NA is that?

[CosmoGTD]

CosmoGTD, you have ruined my future. With all the read and unread books still on my shelves, and now this link of which I was previously unaware, how in the world am I ever going to GanyTD?

This is why we all must sell everything and move to a log cabin, and read books until, as what happened to Don Quixote, our "brain dries up", then we shall begin chasing windmills.

thanks, now I have options :razz:

I will think if a day-specific (read 5 pages) or hard landscape (2 hours per day) next action helps me finish this task

Best regards,

Eugene.

some GTD reading resources

This a great question - something that I've been pondering for a while. Currently I have "FYI" reading that goes into my "Read/Review" folder (which I carry everywhere for those spare moments, and "Must Read" material that is associated with an action (and possibly a project). It goes into either the associated project folder (if there is one), or into my "Action Support" folder (AKA "holding" or "pending" in other systems) otherwise. The reminder goes onto my @anywhere list. If necessary, I add a "safety net" entry in my calendar - day-specific information (last day to read xx before tomorrow's meeting), or I put an entry an hour before the meeting: Last chance to read xx.

A few more thoughts:

1) One of davidco's coaches passed this along: Their "best practice" for reading is to break it into three levels: Critical, FYI, and Someday/Maybe. I wasn't able to get much detail about using them - anyone else know about this?

2) The thread Getting Reading Done has a bunch of suggestions. Ditto for Magazines and other reading material.

Finally, I've written a few posts on the topic, for the interested: Reading Books The GTD Way and How to read a lot of books in a short time (general tips - not GTD-specific).

I'd love to hear others' tips!
