Just wanted to write a follow-up post to my original Getting Things Done post.
I’m still working on getting the system to work for me. I’ve been much better at getting everything in place at work. I’ve setup my filing system (paper) and my email strategy. I’m using a combination of high-tech and low-tech for my lists and To-Do’s. I’m trying to integrate with Remember The Milk, Google Calendar and Outlook.
If you haven’t seen Remember The Milk (RTM) I would take a look at the site. It’s a good way to organize tasks quickly and have SMS messages fired off to your phone to remind you about the task. Definitely convenient if you’re not plagued with a Smartphone like I am. If you setup the locations you visit most frequently, RTM will actually provide you a map of how to accomplish your errands in the most economical fashion to waste as little time and gas as possible.
Done properly you can sync your RTM tasks on Google Calendar and even share your calendar items with others. Pretty handy.
This weekend I plan to finish reading the book and implement my updated filing system at home. Then I will need to consolidate all of my projects, setting up recurring reminders, setup my action items and put it to work.
