Love and Hate my ‘Book of all Things’ [GTD] « pakos.me. Image by Alexandre Dulaunoy via Flickr A few weeks ago I decided to try something new. I set up my handy dandy Moleskine notebook as my GTD capture tool.
I was inspired by reading about how great writing down my tasks would be. After reading Stever Robbins’ book ‘9 Steps to Work Less and Do More‘, and specifically his chapter on technology, I thought I would give paper based ToDo lists a shot. I understand David Allen uses paper as his capture system as well. Both these organizational leaders are far smarter than me.
How did I fair? Memory I found when writing everything down in the book, I could visually remember what I wrote better than anything I type on the computer. One thing David Allen says about memory though is that you don’t want to stress about trying to remember stuff. Projects I use GTD exclusively to keep track of my work related projects. I found that putting my projects in my Moleskine was a pain in the ass to be honest. Calendar Security & Confidentiality Entertainment. Introducing the Hipster PDA.

Productivity Tools. Gtd « Scription. Can you multi-tasking inside your brain? I didn't know why I take this shot but now I can see the importance, I somehow captured the tiny text "hold that thought" from the book dart tin can label which explains a lot of my agonies over some of the meetings and discussions held in and outside of our company.
Thoughts and opinions flying around without being organized re-organized and re-created. What a mess. Alright, multi-tasking may not be the right word to describe what I meant, everybody has a lot of tasks that are in progress. Tasks are things to *do* outside of your brain, we can have a lot of ongoing tasks and that's multi-tasking. Thinking all over the places inside your head unorganized or time sharing your brain power into small chunks for different thoughts and tasks are not multi-tasking, that's incoherence disguised in multi-tasking, that's attention deficit. In 2008, a SAP pilot test was done to create an ordering system, comments were made. #GTD - Who is talking about #GTD on FLICKR. I've been using David Allen's GTD Tickler Filing system for a while using Lion's manila folder labeled with Dymo's tapes. It has been a highly valuable tool for me and things started to organize by themselves pretty well just because I can now file things away up to one year ahead without worrying a bit until the time comes when they need to be taken care of.
I've already started to accumulate plans for next year's back to school promotion in August, imagine that!

Honestly thanks to all of your prayers, almost like a miracle, my Dad smiled like a kid a few days ago, never seen him like that in the past few years.
I'm sure his regression brought his mind back to the old days before his illness, evidented by his choice of language (he now speaks Mandarin rather than Cantonese, he never spoke to us in Mandarin before, although it is the same written language). He muttered "beautiful kid (漂亮的孩子)" to my son with a nice smile. Thank God! I think he is not suffering anymore although physically he is incapable of doing anything, it is a beauty to see him regresses to a younger age in his mind.
The reason why I included a JPG file is that somebody would like to use the Chronodex core as a template on their tablet. ActionComplete | Your Streamlined GTD Toolkit.

This post is part 4 of a discussion that evolved out of the observation that when some GTDers get to InBox-Zero, they get sick immediately after. ”InBox-Zero-Disease” is the name we’ve developed for this.

Getting Things Done with Evernote—Note Templates for Android. Back in October, when My Simple Curiosity was featured on Lifehacker, several commenters were interested in using templates with Evernote for Android.
At the time, I offered up a few crude workarounds, but I was unable to find any apps in the market with the desired functionality. That is, until I discovered Note Creator. Here is a short description of the app straight from the Google Play Store: “Note Creator allows you to create notes in your Evernote account from a range of templates, and make your own templates from existing note layouts or from scratch”. It sounds perfect, right? To help you get started with Note Creator, I’ll walk you though an example which uses my Evernote GTD Project note template previously seen in this post.

It balances a couple of elisp programs on top of that, too, which let you do all sorts of clever things, using nothing but . If you’re geek enough, though, and the idea of keeping everything in plain text appeals to you, this is one fast GTD system… I should probably add another mini-disclaimer here to point out that I’m more of a wannabe geek than a real geek, so don’t think you have to be able to poo in C code, or reprogram your George Formby grill to pick it’s heat settings up as an XML file from your fridge.
