Although I am a long time GTD'er I am finding more and more that it just enables procrastination too much for me. My schedule is insanely busy as a business owner and the mental load of choosing a task is sometimes as challenging as just getting it done. I have been dabbling with motion which is an AI scheduler and LOVING it. There are some quirks but it is managing my schedule and presenting what I can do at the right time thus far just a few days in. That being said it doesnt have a task inbox and I am really struggling with this workflow. Anyone using a tool that is not great for capturing ..read more

How GTD treats the higher horizons always frustrated me: David Allen never fully fleshes out this great concept. He even writes (somewhere): "GTD is a task methodology, not a life planning methodology". I have the idea that the horizons build upon one another, based on: - Their numbering scheme seems to imply it - Some programs (like FacileThings) explicitly tie items from "lower" horizons to higher ones - People often suggest MindMaps etc. for structuring horizons. - My "tickler" notes contain quotes, such as "How to make my Vision come to life?" for Goals & Objectives. That always cause ..read more

1/ Undo send I sometimes hit send when I didn't intend to. It happens. I couldn't live without the option to cancel this action. Increase your undo-send window to 30 seconds for more breathing room. 2/ Custom keyboard shortcuts Using keyboard shortcuts makes me feel like an email master. I also clean my emails in a few seconds sometimes. Take some time to learn the top keyboard shortcuts to increase your efficiency. 3/ Auto-advance After you finish dealing with an email from your inbox, auto-advance immediately takes you to your next email. It's way better than returning to the inbox screen a ..read more

I recently took on a role as the DJ booking manager for a company that I have been DJing for. I'm looking for a calendar app or someway to efficiently handle and and organize my work. I book for 9 locations, some of which have multiple DJs and/or time slots throughout the week and special events a few times per month. There are a few resident DJs that have set weekly recurring gigs at different locations ( these sometimes need to be adjusted ). There are also over 50 DJs that I rotate through our locations. Not all DJs are always used. Currently, I use a calendar in Google sheets to track boo ..read more

Hi all! I am responsible for taking notes during these focus groups that my leadership team is conducting. Currently, I have a bunch of notes, comments, etc… typed out in Excel. Is there a tool/website I can use to take all these notes and consolidate them somewhere and where I can do something with the data? submitted by /u/DatStrugglinggayguy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

While doing some research PKMS I come across this summary of GTD on Medium. The article requires subscription, but it can easily be bypassed with freedium.cfd/ https://medium.com/illumination/a-no-nonsense-guide-to-the-getting-things-done-method-1d4f14da2eca submitted by /u/ironmerc1 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I found a great video that helped me with some practical tips on developing a "mind like water" by going over the different categories of pleasure in the brain: hedonic and eudemonic. Video Source: Why Being Less Motivated Leads to More Results by HealthyGamerGG (17m). Dr. Alok Kanojia ("Dr. K") is licenced psychiatrist in the United States but does practical YouTube videos, has written a book and has several other things on his website. I am not affiliated with his organization at all, I simply found it useful. Below are my own notes on the video. Terms: Hedonics: area of psyche driven by p ..read more

I finished the book and am working through my “inbox” but I didn’t really have a coherent organizational system before. I’ve got work items, board member items, family, hobbies, house, professional development, but it’s all over the place. What does your system or setup look like? submitted by /u/_ChaoticReader_ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
