Comments on: My experiences with gtd so far - what next? http://www.dekay.org/blog/archives/106 snippets about dancing, photography, technology and more (v.2.6a) Fri, 21 Nov 2008 10:02:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Pascal Venier http://www.dekay.org/blog/archives/106#comment-353 Pascal Venier Wed, 05 Oct 2005 21:18:33 +0000 http://www.dekay.org/blog/archives/106/#comment-353 <p>A very interesting post. What I increasingly tend to do is keep my lists on Backpack pages, which I regularily download in Devonthink. As Backpack very saddly does not offer a calendar solution, I use Airset for my "hard landscape", this is available online and can be, if needed, be downloaded in ical and my Siemens T60 phone. Using backpack allows me to have easy access to the NA lists in questions when I am at the university where the standard issue desktop computer is a wintel machine :-( without having to always carry around my G4 Powerbook.</p> A very interesting post.

But as Merlin has said it so well: the meta-part of GTD - namely the “hacking” and the “tools” are just so much fun it keeps you from getting anything done.

Remember, your system needs to be “trusted,” and you can’t trust it if you don’t have it with you. When I started using GTD a few months ago, I knew I needed a lightweight system, so I could (and would) keep it handy. I went with paper — but I’m a pen freak, so your choice may be different.

You can either keep your iBook with you all the time, or print the stuff you need each day. I keep my lists in Word (on a PC), print them, and tuck them in my little notebook.

Think about what you can and will realistically keep with you on a typical day, and cook up something that fits within those limits.

And I’m also hoping for some more specialized GTD options/examples/suggestions, either in a second edition of the book or as some sort of supplements. In the meantime, we have online resources.
