From memory an example might be 'Family' or 'Household Finances'. Or for a company perhaps 'R & D', 'Marketing', 'HR'. They are a way to classify projects. And for a certain altitude review you might look at each area and consider if it is neglected or over-allocated by seeing how many projects are in it.
Realms are a mGSD concept. Basically they are a way to keep more than one GTD system in a single (html) file. The book doesn't really consider this but if you have a 9-5 job then it makes no sense to create personal projects and actions in amongst your work projects and actions and vice versa. So you could juggle two GTD systems, or you could use realms to keep them separate. -- [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GTD TiddlyWiki" group.
