Stripped Down GTD List Manager

April 28th, 2008 by Stephen

Posted in GTD, Links |

Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog

This just in:

A Simple Index Card GTD System | GTD Times

Note here I broke down the task to several subtasks. I actually wrote this list during a dull portion of a work meeting last week…the ideas hit me, I wrote them quickly, then reengaged with the business meeting, knowing I had secured the ideas.

So how does this system hold up to Kelly’s requirements for a good GTD list manager? Let’s look, step by step.

Key features to look for:

* Sorting lists by context - many programs have a “category” feature that will easily support this.
>>>Yep…color calls out the context.

* Ability to assign a due date - not forcing it on all of them, but allowing it for those that need it.
>>>Yep…I just write down the date, if needed.

* Portable for on the go access - can be synched to a handheld or printed.

>>>Portable, yes. Synched, no. For me, this is not an issue; I found with my earlier experiments that synching really didn’t mean that much. I am happy to trade off network synchronization for portability.
