GTD Pockets 1.0
I’ve been using a Hipster PDA for the past year now, and it’s really helped me implement GTD. Hopefully, this new GTD idea will help other people be a little more productive. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but then again, when are GTD ideas groundbreaking? Advanced common sense, they say.
I brainstormed, and came up with the two most appealing things about GTD/hPDA. If these apply to you, Pockets GTD might just be for you.
- The fact that the entire system fits inside of my pocket. Pen and all. I only have to use the web when I need to text myself a reminder as a designated time, or when I’m using Gcal as a hard landscape. Otherwise, I’m all analog.
- Contexts. I love that I can be in front of a computer and pull out a computer card, go running errands and have an errand card, be at work and have a work card, etc. I don’t want to think about any other context than “work” when I’m at work.
So, out of these two elements, I’ve devised a new system. I call it GTD Pockets. The entire system works like a conveyor belt. Now, it takes a little bit of setting up, but once it’s in place, it doens’t take any real thinking/effort. Here’s how you set it up and how you implement it.
