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

Simon Hill gives us an update on his transition to paper:

Free Flow Life

Three observations I’d make so far:

1. The initial exercise of transferring all my Next Actions, Someday/Maybes and Projects from Outlook to paper provided a great opportunity to really think about my commitment to each of the items I was transferring, particularly those that had been on the list for a while. Essentially I committed to myself that if I was going to spend the time and effort writing and maintaining this item on paper then then I’d better be planning on actually striking it off sometime too.

   Thanks for the call out Stephen - I hope I can provide some useful input to your readers on my experience. So far it’s been a fun and productive trial.

   Keep up the great work - this is a great site.

   Hey Stephen - thought I would close the loop after I completed my 30 day trial. I was really pleased with the experiment. Some of the things that I thought would be important like ’syncing’ with Outlook turned out not to be while others that I thought would be unimportant like whether to re-write the lists periodically were (I chose not to as a means of focusing on tasks that were hanging around). I wrote a complete wrap up here:
