Jesse, a GTD’er in Pittsburgh, sent David a write up about how he’s managing his GTD lists in a Google spreadsheet.\u00a0\u00a0 The useful thing about spreadsheets for GTD is that they are very customizable and sortable.\u00a0 Google Spreadsheet also has a handy “Form” feature for quick capture into the form.\u00a0 Here’s what Jesse does:<\/p>\n
I know every crank in the world has a version of your system that they use — and I’m no exception — instead of the sets of paper lists your book describes, I have been using a simple Google spreadsheet of tasks with six columns:<\/p>\n
Urgent:<\/strong> (a binary column — urgent or not urgent)
\nWhere:<\/strong> (home, at work, computer, in car, etc.)
\nProject:<\/strong> Which project is this task part of
\nAction:<\/strong> What to do next on this task
\nDue:<\/strong> If there is a particular due date
\nTickle:<\/strong> If nothing can be done until a particular date, put the date here<\/p>\n
