Different Perspectives on GTD
Monday, November 19, 2007 8:28 PM
What I love about GTD (Getting Things Done) is that everyone has their own take on what works for them. I often find myself refactoring my own GTD system every month or so with minor tweaks that make things a little more efficient.
Josh Fialkoff has a nice post on different methodologies and tools other GTDers use. He says that my approach of having an Outlook category that is both a context and a project assigned to a single task is a little confusing, but hey, it's a system that's worked for me for some time now. It does cause some duplication if you look at your task list holistically, but I find it useful to be able to skew either based on context (I'm at home, what can I do?) or project (I need to get moving on Project X, what's next?). Moral of the post? If you are using GTD, look at other people to see how they work, but ultimately the system you create will be the best for you.
