Again with the Heresy…
First of all, thank you to the many intelligent and mature people who have taken my recent posts in the spirit they were intended. I’ve received some great comments and email from people who are definitely in the same boat as I: that GTD, for us, doesn’t necessarily answer or incorporate some of the longer-term goals and visions that we need to keep our focus on the bigger picture. It seems that many people have also been using GTD for day-to-day tasks, and Covey for overall goal planning. A very interesting mix, and as many have pointed out, they are certainly not mutually exclusive.
So here’s a question for those folks who are already implementing (or even thinking about) such a system, and especially those people who have some familiarity with using paper-based planners: do you have any suggestions for forms that are “best of breed”, that incorporate Covey without dropping GTD, and vice-versa? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Please leave a comment below, or drop me email (as usual, you’ll see my email at the base of the menu on the right). I’m in the midst of creating some new forms for my DIY Planner v.2, and any ideas regarding this approach to planning would be much appreciated.
