GTD Times: GTD & iPhone

Like the desktop quest, many GTD'ers are searching for the perfect GTD list manager app for the iPhone.  The NY Times just posted a nice, simple article on organizing apps for the iPhone.

GTD Times: A Healing Journey

We love letters from GTD'ers.  Especially when we receive one that has so much heart, love and joy that makes us proud that GTD can have such a profound personal impact.  Here's Tim's story:

Earlier today I listened to your "Problems or Projects?" podcast. Thank you for sharing this topic so succinctly and for including an example of how you've used this approach in your own personal life. I feel inspired to share how I created a project from a major problem that came along last year and the

GTD Times: Is GTD Tactical or Strategic?

Someone recently asked one of our coaches: Would you categorize GTD as a "Tactical" system as opposed to "Strategic"?

The answer: GTD is both tactical and strategic. The process of capturing what has your attention in a system that is external from your mind, deciding the outcome and the very next action, and listing those in contexts that match your work style, is tactical.  For example, if you think of a colleague that you need to call, <!--more-->

and make a note of that call on your Calls list, along

I started using Kelly's Outlook trick where you highlight an email in your list and right click then drag it over to Tasks (Calendar) in order to create a new Task (Calendar) item.

GTD Times: Paper is King (for some)

As we all know, GTD is a tool-agnostic approach.  The tools you choose are up to you.  Some say it's all got tobe electronic. Others swear paper is king.  And many  of us will choose a hybrid of paper and digital. In our ongoing GTD Times series featuring GTD'er systems, we wanted to give you a peak into someone's paper system.  Here's Sam's story (including some great photos of his setup):
