Thread: OF Overload?
View Single Post
Are you converting an existing system over to OF or are you 'starting from scratch'? Do you have a 'trusted' GTD system?

I ask because I found OF before I found GTD and crashed and burned twice by trying to get EVERYTHING into OF...all work stuff and all personal stuff. It was too much. I tried to get every aspect of my life into a repeating action where possible and they stacked up, got to voluminous to deal with and I gave up.

What finally worked for me was to work a simple paper GTD system for a while and slowly integrate pieces back into OF. I started with the things that I needed when out and about (iphone) and have added back more and more.

But that's just me. Others I'm sure were able to go whole hog and work out fine.
