Getting Things Done- Jennifer Forbes

The Getting Things Done, by David Allen was an interesting read.  I would like to think that this is helping to get the show in the air as well as. 
  1. How did you organize your process? (are you using paper and pencil, a phone, a piece of software)?
  2. What was it like for you going through the process the first time?
  3. Do you think that this process will help you? Why or why not?
  4. Do you think you will continue this process? If not, what will your process be?
    In this process I orgainzed my information the old fashioned way, with a pen and paper.  The first time I went through the information it took quite a while.  At the time I felt it was important to be thorough.  It was not hard just time consuming to get it organized to start off.  After that its not bad. 
    I do think this process will help me because I am a list person.  I have no problem making lists that end up being 20 things long and can't be done in that time frame and then the list gets moved etc.  So now I can organize it by short time and long time goals, daily goals, and then weekly , monthly, etc.  the 43 folders rule.  This makes the list specialized for that day/week. 
    I think I will continue to split my list with those that can be done in two minutes and then the rest will be organized with the system.  I like folders so I will continueto use them as my inbox.  I will stay organized and be efficient too.
