Wow, I never expected to see this much discussion on this topic. I've read Allen's GTD book and "mostly" follow its principles, but I think the bottom line here is that we each have our own preferred subtleties in how we implement the system. One of the earlier comments was that use of dates could be made to generate and provide focus on todo today lists. I don't doubt this works for many. As others have mentioned, I also make heavy use of rapid entry and many new items get entered each day. I could take time and manipulate dates for each, but for me the today goal tag (and subsequent filtering on this tag) provides a very fast way to give "now" focus on the items that must be done. I scan my items that have dates attached and I scan the rapid entry inbox and can very quickly select what must be done today.
I purposely keep this today goal list short so it can be quickly scanned. I scan this list many times a day. New items get added and priorities may change. A manual sort option would allow me to arrange this list in the order needed. I would no longer have to spend time scanning and processing the order of this list. I would just follow it top down. I realize this is subtle but for me would save real time and enhance focus on what needs to be done now. I've tried using the importance and urgency slides but they just don't work for me. Here's hoping that Andrey implements a few more options to allow us each to work our tasks the way we feel is best :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
