Hi all!
Im that kind of person who struggles with GTD. I find it hard to work From next action lists, I seldom do my reviews and so on. Still, I love the concept of GTD!! One thing does bother me though. How do you guys handle due-dates? From David Allan we learn that nothing that is not REALLY due should have a due-date (ie if we dont it today, we will miss it) attached to it or be placed on your calendar. Knowing this makes me curious to why I keep finding examples of seemingly "not really due" -stuff, with due-dates EVERYWHERE?? Today I saw the screenshot of omnifocus for iPhone in the Apple store and it contained the task "post letters xx xxx" under the project "keep in touch". Now, How is that possibly DUE? If you forget, do it tomorrow! I can agree that it is important, but are you "allowed" to distinguish importance in GTD? Maybe Im over interpretating the whole thing :) Whats your take on this?
