Great video, thank you!

Thank you for introducing me to the term "white space." I recently changed job roles, and this term also applies to my daily work schedule. I was wasting time trying to time-box everything but realized I didn't need to, and maintaining it seemed unrealistic.

I liked many of your practices, such as printing them on cards and including to review in times of overwhelm. Well done

Hi Meg, Thanks heaps for the video. Your video persuaded me to give the omnifocus 14 day trial a go. One thing I don't understand from your video is how do you get things out of your inbox. Is the only way to assign them to a project?

Thank you Meg

I’m low tech and prefer paper. I’d like to hear more about this. This video is extremely helpful to me, and I reset my GTD lists into a 3 hole binder. I love it, and I want to know more!

Omg this popped up again in my feed - FAB timing: realise that for me this is CENTRAL to my re-starting my GTD Life proper. Thanks Meg! (And Annie too, fantastic choice) ❤

I assume that the Incompletion Trigger list (personal, professional) is the two sided card that you utilize to guide/direct your mindsweeps. Is that correct?

Thank you Mary! The methodology guides were an impactful hidden value. I just downloaded them… so thank you for that hidden value! I appreciate the accessibility of the information that you provided! #BeGreatToday #GTDPilots #GTDPracticeMatters

Very helpful workflow. Thanks a lot!

I completely resonate with the guitar story. I recently had some GTD coaching and it is amazing how many core, basic fundamentals I needed to re-visit and master before I can progress. I am now in the "practise and embed those basics" phase and then I'll be embarking on my next round of coaching.

This is great. But it is an inaptly titled video in my opinion and therefore misleading. This is not about how to give your GTD system a makeover, it’s about the foundational course. Its marketing material.

I am currently experiencing analysis paralysis trying to decide between paper and digital. I've always used paper and it worked until I got a promotion and I have so much work to deal with that I can't keep up with paper anymore. Digital would save me so much time but I doesn't come natural to me at all. What should I do??

Julie, love this idea of hybrid model. Do you do a video on projects using paper

I'm curious if/when emails are sent from your email client to Omnifocus. If you need to respond to or work with a specific email, do you send it from your email client to omnifocus or do you just clarify/organize within your email client?

This is SO helpful to me as someone just starting out with GTD! I keep jumbling Collect, Clarify and Organize together and it stops my progress dead. I've actually watched this multiple times to really hammer in the process home. Thanks so much for producing and sharing this content.

Super helpful. I try setting up a physical file like yours for This Week's Actions, to help A) minimise over-committing B) Increase engagement with each task C) Help reduce overwhelm Love your categories, incl Low/Hi Bandwidth! Thanks so much ❤

Hybrid system is great.

This conversation! Can so totally relate to everything Leonie is saying about this season of life, the consultant work life and wanting to focus on being a whole humanbeing. Great episode!

A really help insight, thank you.

will you also share how you set up the other boards?

Is this right: Set to clear inbox with a project OR a tag. And if tagged and not projected you just renamed Misc to ---. You just have one SAL for anything non-project based. I think where I've complicated things before is making too many SAL's. I'm returning to OF for the XXth time since v1. I'm vowing not to complicate it unnecessarily and love your simplicity! (And from the next video I think, maybe it was in here...the tickler in OF. Brilliant.) Other best thing...only tag when ready to do.

Lovely to see how Leonie is doing with GTD, and loved the advice and approach coming out from this video!

Great episode

LOVE you David and your Team

I use OmniFocus just because the defer date, if your are not using it, there are better looking app like Todoist

Thanks for this. Could you say more about the part at @6:50 about linking project cards to your Next Actions board? Are you creating a new card on the Next Actions board, then copy/pasting a link to the card that is already there on the projects board? If so, do you then title the new card with the next action on the project? And if that's what you're doing... do you feel like this is a lot of friction? It seems like a lot of clicking. I'm really curious because I've tried Trello in the past for GTD but always got stuck on getting "next actions" on projects to be visible on my "Next Actions" lists without tons of clicking, copying, pasting, etc. There are power-ups that can help with this but they usually come with a subscription fee 😢

quick question, why not use OF4 new version?? ( whit the new preserve hierarchy in forecast, that allow to use forecast tag+defer date for schedule all project and use due date as deadline?)

Dear Meg. Thanks a lot for your video and for share with us the way you are using OmniFocus, I am an OmniFocus fan as well and I was always trying to find ways to adapt OmniFocus for GTD, great ideas from your vid. Cheers!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

"promo sm" 😥

Thanks for a great video. I’m a very visual learner, so found this very helpful. I’m using Trello and playing around with various layouts so seeing how you approached this gave me food for thought. I’ve just finished reading Threefold Thursday which talks about managing your next actions. It was also interesting for me to see the small number of actions on your next action list. Again a skill I need to continue to work on.

Very informative video. I’m just getting started with GTD and I find that most of the functionality you demonstrated with Omnifocus can be replicated in Apple Notes with tags and the new linking capability. I just wish there was a more straightforward way of capturing email “stuff” in Notes

Great video! Thank you! I currently have a Trello account and am trying many other apps as well and have been struggling (and spending way too much unproductive time) on how to set up a GTD system that works for me 🙃🤔. I was just about to cancel my Trello account but now that I’ve seen your video I’m going to try implementing some of your great ideas. I like how you’ve kept it streamlined. I was sad that I couldn’t seem to figure out how to make Trello work for me because I really like how visual and colorful Trello is. I think somehow it’s the colors and images that help keep me motivated! Thanks again! 🙏

Very interesting. Thank you. I used to use Trello for GTD but I made it too complicated. Are you using the paid version of Trello?

Thank you so much for the video. I’ve been trying to find a program/app for GTD that works for my personality type, and this one looks like it will be the best fit. I’ll explore it some more. Thank you again! 🙏🏻

I love these videos Meg! I would be rlly looking forward to a showcase of ur Higher Horizons of Focus. This is something I am currently building rn myself.

Question: How do you differentiate between your Someday/Maybe folder (projects) and the Someday tag? Do you tag all the items in the folder?

I'd love to see daily and recurring tasks. Do you have repeating tasks in your tickler?

646 past due items in my forecast. Splendid video Meg.

Thank you, Meg, this is very interesting. I've been doing GTD since 2007 and using Omnifocus since 2017. I saw the previous video, too, and I also appreciate the simplicity. I want to simplify my system and considered leaving OmniFocus but I like OmniFocus. Been influenced by Mike Williams's Doing to Done, which works quite well right now. I live in Nova Scotia. You need a "next time in Halifax" - you're so close 🙂

Thank you again, Meg! Love this format. You mention Evernote for reference and Google Docs for work. I am curious how many links or "pointers" to those places you park in Omni, if any? (i.e. see Google Doc; or look in this folder, etc) I remember from GTD Connect webinars you and Kelly used to say "you don't need to be matchy-matchy" (meaning if we are in the habit of doing a consistent weekly review, we begin to make connections and have a clearer sense of where things are). However, it seems that these days, there are more and more places that things can be these days -- often in a web browser.

Thanks Meg! Needed this! I have far too much reference in actionable. ❤

This is gold! Thank you.

Hi Meg. Once again, an amazing video. I've been using GTD and OF for over a decade and, as time passes, I naturally make it more complex. Rearranging everything in a simpler manner makes it so much easier to work. Your videos were my trigger to simplify it once more. The only part I still don't get it is how you effectively use OF as a reference tool. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Thank you. This was helpful. I’m in process of setting up my GTD system and I need to see some examples of how others use a paper-based or hybrid system.

After watching this twice - my aha! moment was seeing how you project plan within OmniFocus. I've always confused project planning with my project support efforts or where other information about a project is kept. I now see a distinction I didn't before. Thanks, Meg.

Great insight!

Excellent video Meg!!

Great video - I find real life examples like this so helpful!

Reminds me of my connect membership years ago. Thanks!
