Off of the Wagon......

I fell off of the GTD wagon for the last two weeks. I don't have any excuses, these last two weeks have been the busiest two weeks I have had since becoming a Field Training Officer. I had 22 new employees to track and get ready for their jobs as EMT-Basics on the ambulance. This should have been a time for the GTD theory to shine. I fell off of the wagon.
I am back up and running now. Today is sunday, and I just finished a two hour weekly planning. I think I can get rolling again fairly easily.
I want to give my opinion/interpretation of the lists that David Allen talks about. Your projects are a list of items that require multiple steps to complete. You place a title for these projects in your project list so you can define the next actions and organize reference and notes on tese projects. The next action steps for your projects will go into your task lists to be tracked as any other single action task. For instance, you are preparing a budget, you need to 1. format the report, 2. call your administrative assistant, and 3. review last months expenses. These next actions should be placed in your @ computer, @ calls, and @ office lists to get done. As you complete these tasks check them off of your task list and in your project list.
I am working on a formating technique that utilizes a contact list structure to link your projects to your tasks and calendar items. As soon as I get it refined for Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 I will post it here.
