These lists substitute for the files that GTD recommends keeping for Project Support Materials. Each list in Project Plans corresponds to one of the items in the Projects list and contains Next Actions, future action items, and reference URLs for that Project.
I sync this by hand with the”Projects list during my Weekly Review. I have a separate folder called “Project Plans” that contains one list per Project. Projects, per GTD, can be completed: “Purge closet,” “Go see the musical,” and so on. I have a list called “Projects” that contains all of my defined outcomes, starting with action verbs. “Projects that aren’t really projects” sound exactly like Areas of Focus (AoF). The Weekly Review is a once-a-week, comprehensive read-through of everything in your GTD system and anything still in your head. “Search my favorite magazine to find out if they accept submissions” is a Next Action for the “Publish a freelance article” Project. If you need to do anything else before you can begin a task, it is not your Next Action. A Next Action is a single, physical task you can complete in one sitting to move toward your Project’s desired outcome. The number of lists per user is unlimited. “Publish a book” is the outcome for a Project also called “Publish a book” there are several steps to take to reach that goal. This can be an action item or a description of the situation after the last action is completed. how you know when the Project is complete. A Project must have a defined outcome, i.e. The Project is complete if and only if all the action items have been completed and the desired outcome has been reached. A Project consists of two or more individual action items and a defined outcome. You can take my English classroom away, but I’ll always be a teacher. But it seems strange to put “parenting” as a project under “active projects” when really it’s something that’ll never be completed all the time I’m a Dad. These projects exist as sub projects under their respective lifelong area.
For instance in my parenting folder I might have “BMX Project with my son”, and one of the actions is to “buy a bike hook for garage to hang the bmx on”, another action might be to “research handlebars”. These lifelong jobs all have many smaller projects and actions associated. I tend to have lifelong jobs that require action like “parenting” or “home improvements”. How do you or anyone here treat projects that aren’t really projects My interpretation of a project is something that can be completed at some point. I think I have a solution, but it took way too many words to explain in that support thread. A fellow Wunderlist user asked a great question this week. In the meantime, I have been following a support thread for Wunderlist to keep up with others who are using it for GTD. Since I started using Wunderlist last fall, there have been some huge improvements to the app, and I have refined my GTD implementation and use of Wunderlist, so that drafted post is still not ready to publish. My GTD implementation relies heavily on my use of the marvelous app Wunderlist. I started drafting a blog post about my GTD conversion in January of this year. Here’s some context for everyone else: I have mentioned a few times that I am using GTD to get my life together, with spectacular results. Skip down if you’re just here for the answer. In reality, I detest long comments on blogs and forums, so I wrote this post just to avoid that.
#WUNDERLIST REVIEW 2015 SERIES#
In my “vision of wild success,” as David Allen puts it, this would be just one post in my beautifully organized series on how I use the Getting Things Done methodology (GTD).
