My approach to GTD
Friday, September 21st, 2007I'm a big fan of GTD, which stands for Getting Things Done and is an approach to getting organized at work, at home, and in you life in general. You are supposed to keep track of all tasks you are supposed to do, in their respectful contexts.
By following the GTD principles, you can radically reduce the amount of stress in your life just by knowing exactly what you have to do, when you can do it, and most importantly - that you're not forgetting anything that needs to be done.
I'm not going to talk about the GTD theory here anymore, and just would like to share how I process information (tasks, reporting to other people, etc) at my workplace. This system proved to be effective and easy to use. At least for me :)

Here's a picture of how monitor looks like. And the explanation will follow:
