I agree that having short lists is an excellent aspect of GTD, however it doesn't work in all circumstances. In an environment where tasks are coming in rapid-fire, I would have to spend a lot of effort coming up with artificial context designations to get the list this short.
Agreed. I just need some way to pass through the list on a daily basis to figure out which few tasks I'm going to try to complete. If I finish them all, I can move on to others. It occurred to me this afternoon that I can actually use flagging for my needs. I can pass through the list in the morning and flag the tasks that look like they're the most pressing for the day (and unflag the ones that no longer seem important). Then I can sort by flag status until I'm done with flagged items. So now I'm back in the priority-neutral camp. :) |
I don't have access to the beta yet, but I'm interested to see what its support for weekly review, "Someday Maybe", and "Waiting For" is. Hopefully doing the review and processing those those lists is as fluid and easy as people describe entering and viewing lists of actionable items is.
