GTD and Google Notebook.

I am a GTD freak. It’s what I do and it’s how I plow through all the stuff that I have to do on a regular basis. I have several collection buckets: my jotter, index cards, and google notebook are the ones I most frequently go to.

Google notebook+ Mozilla Firefox are the most frequently used. i have a default notebook “unprocessed things.” I hit Alt+N to open and close the notebook. Usually my “unprocessed things” pops up. I can right click, and get a “note this” button for any website I’m currently on.
te I’d like to come back to. (See left.)

It pops up into my notebook–no typing or even keying–and I can get back to google notebook anytime and proicess the stuff–anyhing from adding a birthday card to my 43 folders setup to make this work. One of the things that is on my list of things to do is to make this able to be hotkeyed. I am sure that it’s possible.

Then What?

Once a day–twice if I’m ahead of schedule–I go through the notebook and process everything. My website reads are done in a FIFO manner–and I implement any other tiny hacks that I can add, customers to get back to and everything else that needs to be done.

From the Unprocessed things–I move stuff into the appropriate folders: songs to get, websites to read, stuff to buy, todo Chris, todo Mike, etc this is done relatively mechanically, and could be outsourced easily. Once it’s all in the right buckets, my reminders get after me to go to the buckets and read/process what

I’ve got, so I’m guaranteed that I’ll get stuff done the way I want.

Anyway, if you’ve set up some hot key thing for Google Notebook, let me know which service you’re using so I can do it, too!

Best!
