My largest issue with the GTD book is... David Allen shies away from giving a concrete, specific example of how to make the system work with a specific tool.
There is so much out there of...
well... you need to find your own way... and whatever works for you... and here are all the tools you could use... but not much of...
this is how to do it... exactly.
Sometimes, that's what a person needs to get a picture of first,
then branch out to the system that works for them.
It can be extremely difficult for a person to get a sense of the system and how it can work.
I had help in another forum from a member named RATZ in the Life Balance Forums. (Bless you RATZ, wherever you are). Without him, I never would have clued in how to use Life Balance with GTD. And now OF with GTD.
Sometimes, a person needs a hard, cold, mold until they are stable enough to stand without the mold.
In leu of abstract openings... here is a workflow I developed of what it looks like to process the inbox. This may be a good time to do the same thing for yourself. Use a tool like... Omni to develop a workflow. It will help concrete your understanding of GTD.
I restricted myself to asking true/false questions throughout this workflow.
For what it's worth... ¢¢
