How do you plan YOUR week? Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes

Good morning everyone,
I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'm having a hard time finding anything.

One of the most important things of GTD for me is the weekly plan. I have been flip-flopping back and forth with two schools of thought and I wanted to get some feedback on what all of you are doing (either with feedback on my method(s) or the methods you use). I own OF for Mac, iPhone and iPad.

For both of these methods I use the "Available" view.

Method 1:
MOVE ALL ACTIVE PROJECTS INTO A "THIS WEEK" FOLDER
Basically, each week I would take a look at all my projects and move them into this folder if "I wanted to/they had to" get worked on this week.

PRO:
This is great in that it really lets me concentrate everything in one folder.

CON:
I like to keep my projects in alphabetical order, so they're easy to find, so it becomes a pain to move them out of the "This Week" folder and put them back in order of the general "Projects" folder.

Method 2:
GIVE ALL PROJECTS I NEED TO/WANT TO WORK ON AN 'AVAILABLE' STATUS; ALL OTHERS GET 'ON HOLD'

PRO:
Easy to Option-Click projects in bulk to make them Active/On Hold (I find it much faster to do this on the Mac rather than the planning mode of the iPad version).

CON:
Need to always remember to turn on 'available' to get an accurate picture.

Hopefully this makes sense to everyone.

What's your take?

Thanks in advance,
Marc
