Hello Mary, We have had this conversation with Richard
What I am trying to say is that GTD goes so far but doesn't go far enough
for me. And the fact that GTD doesn't do it, doesn't mean that we are not
allowed to ask for MLO to do it The point is we already have all our tasks
in MLO - it would make a lot of sense to provide some simple
And to emphasise the point, I have the followign situation as we speak
- a meeting tomorrow for which I need to prepare a paper (tomorrow
morning)
- a 3 day workshop for which I need to prepare the materials (over the
weekend - sigh)
- a meeting on Thursday for which I also
Is there any way we could steer this away from the gtd discussion? If GTDers
have ideas for using it with tight, competing deadlines, great; I'd be grateful
to hear them and see if I can implement them. But I need multiple deadline
management (as do many program managers, project managers, and

As to answer your question, I'll review what I posted at
Thanks Neal,
This seems a lot like the system I devised in order to use mlo (with the
exception that, since I've turned my weeks into 'projects', mlo does the
counting for me). I guess that means I'm on the right track. It's only been
about a week but I'm pleased with it as a band-aid solution

I'm not much of a GTD expert. But I believe that there's a misunderstanding
or misquote.
I believe that GTD suggests a better way to do forward planning

Have you actually read the GTD book? Just asking.
GTD as I understand it is a system approach to seeing in one place all
the things you have promised yourself you'd do now or in the future.
Its up to you, not GTD, to estimate how long its going to take to
complete them. Now it might be

Mary,
The situation you are describing is exactly the reason for Gantt
charts.
Perhaps someday MLO will do Gantt charts but it does not seem likely
to happen soon. IN my life I have had times when I needed Gantt charts
