Hello
I need to check I am doing GTD roughly correctly.
To recap the basics, as I understand it we are suppose to have the following core lists of tasks:
- "Someday-Maybe" list - all reviewed every week - (e.g. 150-300 tasks?)
- "Next Actions/Do ASAP" list - all reviewed at the start/end of each day - (e.g. 15-45 tasks?)
- "Do Today" - reviewed several times per day - (e.g. 5-15 tasks?)
i.e.
The "Next Actions/Do ASAP" list is created during the Weekly Review of everything including the Someday-Maybe stuff.
And the "Do Today" list is created during the Daily Review of "Next Actions/Do ASAP" stuff, yes?
And of course, in order to make the "Next Actions/Do ASAP" list more manageable it is supposed to be broken down into Contexts, yes?
Meanwhile we also have:
- Inbox - all moved out ideally every day (personally about 2/3rd of my tasks go straight onto my lists)
- A list of Projects that are live (i.e. within the "Next Actions/Do ASAP" list)
- A Tickler List (Personally I use a list of task with a Start Date in the future)
- A Waiting For list (which personally conflate with my Tickler list)
Does that sound correct?
Including Someday-Maybes, I seem to habe about 300 to 400 tasks on system in total.
Cheers
