Scott, Have you tried using the GTD system yet? Just curious. I had a read through that webpage and it sounds interesting. I was thinking that i might get a copy of the book for one of my brothers. I'm always interested in seeing different approaches to handling "stuff" and "getting things done". Seems to be such an individual thing and very much dependent on one's personality and ways of organizing one's world. Most systems don't work that well for me as I tend to be very visually oriented. Also, my memory is pretty much photographic (something I take entirely for granted but which has a tremendous impact on how i run my life). Most of what I do in life is what I class as "non-transferable" -- another person would be stumbling around in bewilderment if they ever had to deal with trying to sort through my stuff. That's kind of a scary thought -- especially if I ever pegged out suddenly. I've given some thought to that in recent months, so have been working towards getting things organized in a way which maintains my very visual system, but that would make sense to Mr. Croc if he had to find things without my assistance. Yesterday, I built a large, pine shelf unit that will hold a bunch of aluminum boxes with tags which describe the contents of each box. Anyhow, that's my "Getting Things Done" project of the moment.

S2, "Getting things done" I used to be a Day Timer guy - Then I moved to Palm Pilot - Then I moved to I-PAq Now I have a Crackberry HOWEVER- throughout my career so far, I still use 3"x5" cards for the IMPORTANT THINGS...all the urgent stuff would reside somewhere on a list in one of those gadgets artfully stored with follow-up alarms, summaries, and timetables...I never paid a whole hell of a lot of attention to them although people were always impressed with how organized everything was which I always found amusing - the 3x5's were real deal...and I never had more than 7 IMPORTANT THINGS on the list at any given time. (I have no idea why). I made damn sure I was hitting those 7 every day. Maybe I should write a book....and maybe not....not sure anyone would pay for a 3"x5" card on Amazon. Altair19
