Whitepaper: GTD LoFi/HiFi by Emory
R. Emory Lundberg | Apr 2 2006
Enough people have been picking my brain lately about my workflow that I decided to document it. Heavily. Published versions of this draft as I'm writing it will be available online and I will be commiting changes as I work on it. I'll probably also post something on my weblog or in this thread when revisions are made. Since email has been a hot topic lately, I started with that section, and I'll be documenting various other topics as I go. Permalink for this doc will be: http://kvet.ch/pages/gtd-whitepaper-emory 36 Comments

I loved the article, and yes it read like an erotic novel. I am not sure I agree that those who manage @NAs with a PDA are not busy enough. I mean, D.A. uses a Palm, right? I'm not certain Mr. Allen is all that busy. He's tracking 60 active projects. I'm not an executive Coach, but I've been doing GTD for less than a year and have upwards of 40 active projects. That doesn't include the several interupts an hour nor does it include the 25 people running to my desk with an escalation or a critical issue. I don't even "project-ize" a lot of them because they're 2-4 step projects that just end up on context cards. How DA uses his Palm: http://www.davidco.com/pdfs/tt_palm.pdf I don't have time to input things into a Palm or use Outlook. I want something fast and versatile and compatible. I want something that isn't one-windowed. I cannot review my projects on a PDA the same way I can with my cards. Our minds are better and bigger than a 320x320 screen. I immeadiatly went from nervous and scared about my projects to intimately familiar with all of them the minute I removed the pixels. I cannot take a Treo or any other PDA and look at it and see even my top five projects and all of their associated tasks at a glance like I can index cards. Also, when I'm looking at my @office context list, an incoming phone call doesn't make it evaporate. 4ster wrote:
This is what I'm saying. Using a PDA always left me feeling like I was still missing something. I couldn't see where I was going because I only had a tiny little window. 4ster wrote:
But I really think I am just looking for an excuse for buying a Levenger Rope Case. :) No shame in that, friend! » POSTED IN:
