Hi. I just discovered you folks and will post my first question in a minute. I'm a math professor and a knitter. I can see that you'll be providing me with the opportunity to procrastinate by reading about ways to avoid procrastination.

Looking forward to exploring.

Hey All- I just started working through GTD and tried to implement it this past weekend. So far, it's been largely a success, but there are a few areas that are a little fuzzy. The book instructs you to buy 3 paper holding bins. I did, and now use one for my "in" basket, one for blank sheets of paper and the last is sitting on the ground collecting dust. (Cleaning my office is in "In", don't worry).

So, my first question is: What the heck are the other two bins for?

Thanks for your help.

Just a quick note to let everyone know about a cool feature we've just added to tedium.

Rather than focus entirely on what's left to be done, we thought it would be interesting and fun to take a look back at what you'd achieved - see how many things you've crossed off, which days were most productive, which projects dominated your life...

So now, at the end of each quarter (so the end of March, June, September and December) we compile a Productivity Report for each user.

In Quicksilver I'm unable to display iTunes artwork even though I've clicked the 'show artwork' in iTunes preferences. Is there anything else that I need to do to make this active?

Hey everyone,
I'm Marc. I recently graduated from Southampton Solent University in England and moved back to Germany. Now I work as a web developer at a small agency in Düsseldorf. I enjoy Apple products, giving presentations and turning crappy code into nice looking websites.
I got into GTD about half a year ago and so far it's been working fine for me. It helped me especially to get through my final weeks at uni.

Greetings,

I work for a bigco in Singapore and suffer from email overload (and see the same around)

Jakob Nielsen (useit.com - usability guru) in 2000 stated (in Alertbox Mailing List Usability) "In the long term, we need to remove everything from email that is not in the nature of personal correspondence."

I took this call to action seriously and have developed collatodo ( collaborative todo )

I have been implementing GTD for nearly a year now, I use a paper system and I always try to add improvements to my system.

One of the recent things that I've added is the "Today List" this is simple, but very effective way on focusing on the tasks that I have to process in my day.

Basically, at the start of each day I go through my @context list and add 3-5 items to my "Today List" and try to hang in next to my PC, where I can easily view it thought out the day.

I actually learned this from the "Thing" software for the mac, where you can drag tasks to a today sidebar.

Several things that I suggest
