God grant me the serenity not to constantly pursue the best way to get stuff done; courage to accept the best way for me; and the wisdom to know the difference.

Hi all.

I’ve read through most of Getting Things Done about twice now, thought about implementing it quite a bit, and even posted here once or twice. I’ve bought a filing cabinet (something I swore I’d never do), a stack of folders and adhesive labels, and a bunch of index cards.

Greetings and Felicitations:

How do you handle a collection of projects that share an action that can/should be consolidated into a single action?

For example, I’ve three different projects: Hang quilt on wall, Fix ceiling fan at Mom’s, Replace refrigerator at Grandmothers. Each involves the action “phone handyman and arrange time to X”, where X is different for each project.  read more »

MERLIN MANN - If you are out there and happen to catch this post, I beg you to read on, because you more than anyone else would probably be able to give the best input on this topic….

I use a program called 1Password (which is pretty much the freakin’ coolest application out there, other than Quicksilver).  read more »
