    Ep. 387: Horizontal and Vertical Control

    You need to control commitments, projects, and actions in two ways--horizontally and vertically. Horizontal control maintains coherence across all the activities in which you are involved. Vertical control, in contrast, manages thinking, development, and coordination of individual topics and projects. In this webinar recording, Ana Maria Gonzalez talks about the relationship between these two levels of control and how you can leverage them both for your productivity.

    Ep. 383: How to Use a Tickler or Bring-Forward Filing System

    In our most recent Office Hour we talked about how to use a tickler or bring-forward filing system, and the important distinction between incubating an item to later decide if it's actionable, and setting a calendar reminder to handle something actionable on a future date. We also discussed the question of how to get others to do GTD. (Hint: exemplify relaxed productivity.) And we mentioned how helpful it is to have the GTD clarifying diagram handy when getting your inboxes to zero. To watch this entire webinar, please visit GTD Connect.
