Tag: “Organize”

Before introducing a novelty that you can use in FacileThings from today on—the ability to assign expected dates to actions—, let me clarify some basic GTD concepts so you can make the best use of this new functionality.

Some organization is needed and I think we all agree on that, albeit at different levels. No matter how disorganized you think you are, you surely keep the cutlery in the kitchen and your toothbrush in the bathroom. It is hard and stressful to live without knowing where the stuff is when you need it, right?

In this article I will use the word “work” in the way it is used in GTD, that is, understood as anything you’ve committed to do, either in personal or professional contexts.

Are you one of those people who estimate the time that it will take to complete each task, in order to know how many things you will get done at the end of the day, week or month? If so, how often do you check off all the tasks in your to-do list, at the end of the period? If you’re like almost people, the answer is “rarely”.

Many of the things that fall into your hands do not require any action but contain valuable and useful information for some of your tasks or some future project.
