Creative reminder checklists
Submitted by EvilDMP on December 31, 2007 - 2:48am.
David Allen says that there are seven types of things that need to be kept track of:
- projects
- project support material
- calendar
- next actions
- waiting for
- reference
- someday/maybe ideas
But then at the end of Chapter 7 of GTD, he suggests how useful it is to maintain plenty of checklists of creative reminders. So what are these? They don’t fit into any of the above categories, and he doesn’t say how or where there should be organised.

I haven’t really settled
I haven’t really settled on a suitable way to store all these details in a way I can access when I need to. I track the books, movies, someday maybe etc. on the whatsnext app on my mac and I keep a notebook in the kitchen to jot down things I need from the supermarket. This all works well for scheduled trips out where I can check these before I go, but for those sudden moments when I find myself in Borders I am less well prepared. Perhaps an index card in the back of my moleskine is the way to go.
