5. A TASK
It needs to be done?
Create a reminder note
These are your GTD next-actions, things for
immediate attention. Create reminder notes
for today or any other day. Assign priorities.
7. STAY FOCUSED
It needs to be done
but you’re busy?
Create a reminder note
This is your GTD inbox. Park the task in your
inbox to keep your head clear. Later check
the reminder to decide whether you want to
deal with it or ignore it (delete).
9. KEEP TRACK
You’re waiting for it?
Tag a note “waiting for”
This is your GTD delegation list. Somebody
is doing it for you or you’re waiting for it to
come in. Create a tag “waiting for” and tag
notes as such. Maybe add a reminder to
follow up.
11. LONG TERM
You have a great idea?
Create an “idea” note
This is your GTD long-term-projects list.
Create a tag “idea” and tag notes as such.
Visit your ideas to add thoughts or
refinements - and never lose track of them.
13. ITERATE
Review weekly
Scan your “idea” and “waiting for” lists when
you have idle time. This is a great way to
reflect on things and stay on track. Use
lunch breaks, Friday afternoons or idle
times.
