The first revelation for me was that your inbox is not your ToDo list. However, there a few nuggets in there which are too good not to share. I don’t want to go into too much detail on the GTD methodology, there are far better resources out there and the book itself is very comprehensive. David Allen’s book, although fairly exhaustive really opened my eyes to a better way of working.
When I moved into management I started creating ToDo lists but no matter how hard I try they always seem to fall out of date. I felt my eyes had been opened.Īs a developer I’ve grown up with scrum and kanban.
But, when someone who seems to always have his eye on any number of spinning plates throws three letters in your direction I find it’s a good idea to listen.Ī little googling led me to a Todoist blog post and then onto David Allen’s book Getting Things Done. I raised an eyebrow, it sounded like some kind of car maintenance routine. He said he’s a great believer in the GTD method. So, I wrote an Alfred wrapper for it that adds the tasks to the Inbox and makes my workflow much more efficient.I was recently talking with a colleague I respect greatly about personal organisation. Since my primary workflow requires fast input of a single entered string, I went looking for a new solution, and I found a great CLI app that adds tasks extremely efficiently here ( ) I previously used the workflow, but the structured format was offputting, and it began to truncate many of my tasks after the last update (so I would get tasks in my Inbox that only contained half of what I had entered). (I use my Todoist Inbox as my single GTD Inbox across all platforms and clients - from Email, phone, camera, etc) My primary workflow within Todoist and Alfred is to quickly capture any ideas on my mind and put them into my Todoist inbox for later GTD processing, categorization, and labeling during my daily/weekly review sessions.
