I have adapted my computer to reflect what I have learnt from the GTD system:<\/p>\n
1. My Desktop<\/strong> 2. My Filing System<\/strong> A. Action <\/strong>(for items that require a next action from my part) B. <\/strong>Listen <\/strong>(for audio files that I need to listen to)<\/p>\n C. Watch <\/strong>(for video files that I need to watch)<\/p>\n D. Projects<\/strong> (each project I am working on has it’s own folder)<\/p>\n E. Read<\/strong> (for documents I need to read before filing)<\/p>\n F. Share <\/strong>(for items I need to pass on to people)<\/p>\n G. Transfer<\/strong> (for items I need to transfer to another PC) H. Update<\/strong> (for items that I am continuously updating and don’t want to hunt for all the time);<\/p>\n I. Waiting For<\/strong> (for items I can’t finalise until I get something from someone else)<\/p>\n J. Print <\/strong>(for items that need to be printed and then read or processed)<\/p>\n K. Reference folders <\/strong>– then there is my main set of reference folders, including (Church<\/strong>, Computer<\/strong>, Consulting<\/strong>, GTD<\/strong>, igniteYOUTH<\/strong>, Power<\/strong> (were all my presentations are stored), Personal<\/strong>, Resource <\/strong>(this is my main folder with resource material in sub-folders), Sermons <\/strong>and Software <\/strong>(where all my utilities are stored for reuse or for sharing with others).<\/p>\n 3.

\nI have created an interesting computer desktop layout that helps me get organised with files and stuff that I have downloaded, articles I need to print (I create short cuts and place them on the desktop in the print section and then just bang them off when I am near a computer), files to transfer to my desktop, presentations to run, files for projects that I am working on, articles to update as new blog posts are posted, stuff to watch or listen to, etc. I have uploaded two screen grabs as examples: Older<\/a> and Newer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nMy main data is stored in My Documents <\/strong>– where I have GTD related folders such as: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nDavid Allen suggests that you have a simple A-Z filing system and use the power of the processor to find what you are looking for. I find my work is too interconnected for that approach and use a comprehensive filing system instead but I do use the power of Google Desktop <\/strong>to find what I am looking for on my computer. It is like having Google search your hard drive and IMMEDIATELY help you find what you are looking for. A double tap of the Ctrl key brings up a search box and after typing some key words you can either click on the file you want or open up the search results in a browser. You can download it from: http:\/\/desktop.google.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
