I have yet to find...
I have yet to find a methology which works for me - and while really many, many people are happy about GTD, I am not. I am waiting for the same epiphany I had when I read a book some years ago about time managment, the classical way.
Before that book, all time management bookx always said “you have to sit down, make your list, prioritize it and work on it - this is the only valid way”. The german leading man on those books finally came up with something new from an american author.
It said “the old way is monochromatic working, like many people really found that effectiv. But there are others who start to write down a todo list and end up with 30 pages or brainstorming, categories from aa to zz”. Bingo.
As for GTD - it is much more like I work, but not enough. I think I will have to wait for a few more years, until we really have GTD meets Minority Report or something else, as I have the feeling, that I really need computer support for this.
For me, tasks feel more like a three dimensional cube you can turn around and have different views on it, and want this information in many places in different slices. sigh This is 2005. Perhaps 2010? :)
