| I've been using gtd + trello for over a year now in on off basis, and for me I found the following benefits - closed loops for stuff that would otherwise occupy my thoughts while programming - understanding and aplication of what makes me either not start or think about something (project) constantly - ability to drop and return to it and just continue - differentiation between what is a must do and nice to do - separating emotional context for a protocol one ( usefull for things that upset me but must be dealt with) Bad things - overusing the system as it is very effective and placing way of the mark projects that you wish to do and that drag on to irrelevance, especially the inbox filled with thoughts rather than something useful. - it requires at least weekly maintenance, especially when the structure is new to the user - lists can get convoluted
, amended by understanding that you can and should add remove entire lists or even make lists context based. Bad parts can be overcame but it requires a deeper understanding of gtd and knowing that your gtd flow is ment to be upgraded, reworked and much less structural and rigid in some places. I am currently at my v2 for gtd and it is much easier to maintain while providing me with pretty much same benefits, there is going to be v3. Overall it helped me immensely to clear my ram when working and for that at least it is worth it |
