Dealing with Unprioritized Actions
mream | Mar 14 2006
I'm used to making a list of everything I need to do (it normally includes projects, maybes, waiting fors, as well as action items -- but no more!). My next step used to be to prioritize the actions, 1 through however many there are. GTD appears to frown upon prioritization, in favor of "context." I would say that 90+% of my work is @COMPUTER, so that doesn't help. I can think of some other ways to organize the context that would make more sense for me, but I still don't understand how I can work through a lengthy list without prioritizing it. Can anyone give me any suggestions, in addition to the three methods mentioned in the GTD book? Thanks, Matt 8 Comments

Drill down your task a bit deeper on your @Computer context. I am a Network Admin for a small local muncipality so on my lists I have: @Website (for our main city website...http://www.cityofnorthport.org/) Webserver These projects are for getting these 2 servers into production and are part of the bigger Project: Novell -> Windows Migration...moving our network from Novell 5.1 and Groupwise 6.5 to Windows 2003 and Exchange...it will be a LOOOONG project. You just need to be a little more specific in your @Computer context. I started like you and had @Computer, then I tried @Computer-Home and @Computer-Work, then I changed jobs to my current one with a lot more responsibilites so I had to fine tune my @Computer-Work context. Hope this helps out, » POSTED IN:
