Thinkingrock: The best GTD Software

If you are not using thinkingrock, you can check it out. Because inProcess)Section describes some methods for planning actions. For more information, see.Thinkingrock (thinkingrock: The best GTD software) was introduced last time. I hope you will try this very good software. This section describes how to use thinkingrock and some collection techniques and how to plan actions.

After thinkingrock is opened, you can clearly see its entire process, including setup, collect, and process) and organise/review/do (Planning/review/do ). Try to describe every step of the process and some of the skills and methods.

Setup)

Because thinkingrock can be used by many usersCreate personal data files. Click create data file to create a. TRX data file. After the data file is created, you also need to collect the system for your own GTDSet contexts and topics).

Contexts (situation):The situation is when and where you can do it.Example: work, online, or shopping. For example, "@ hostel", "@ school", "@ on-line", "@ computer", "@ phone CILS", "@ Home ", "@ holiday. The role of a situation is to let you determine what can be done in different places at different times.

Topics):A topic is used to classify actions., Just as all blogs have tags, different files are classified into different places. The following categories are available: "personal", "project", "homework", "financial", "mifengtd.cn", and "self study" (description: project refers to a project job ). You can also set colors for each topic for easy identification.

Collect)

CollectionYou need to put all the things you want to do, what you want to do right away, and what you want to do in the system, so that your brain can freely innovate and work. All ideas collected are classified by topic.

Process)

After the collection is complete, it is a very important step-processing. You willEdit the ideas that have been collected, and refine and embody them.. First, you need to divide the idea into these types:

1. Is the idea that you will never do, you can choose to delete them.
2. It may be done one day in the future and stored as future items (projects that may be implemented in the future ).
3. Only the idea of information is stored in information ).
4. The actual actions required for the idea are listed as actions (action ).

Actions are what we need to do, but you need to divide actions into these types:

1. You don't have to do it yourself, but you can give it to someone else -- delegated actions (delegate action, refer to 5th of "5 steps make you more efficient)
2. Scheduled Actions, which needs to be completed at a certain time or a certain time ago (reservation Operation)
3. Do ASAP actions (Actions completed as soon as possible)

If an idea has several actions to complete, you need to set up a project ). Projects can better organize and plan actions so that actions are clear and clear.

See the idea of "Writing thinkingrock introduction logs". We need to first consider its successful outcome (result), and the "1. this article introduces thinkingrock's main functions and 2. describes how to use thinkingrock ". In this way, we can determine whether multiple physical actions are required to accomplish this idea by referring to the results. The answer is yes (I need to write two articles to describe the problem.ArticleAnd prepare the image), so it creates a new project "Create a new project ". The final result is to determine whether this action should be completed as soon as possible. The answer is yes, so the result is to set this action to do it ASAP.

Here, we provide several methods for handling actions:

1. If an action takes less than two minutes to complete, complete it now and proceed with the next idea.
2. If the action is not completed yet, or you do not need to complete it, but you want to record it, you can set it to inactive. (For example, "How to Use thinkingrock" needs to finish image sorting and writing the first introduction log, so it is set to inactive first .)
3. The action must be completed as soon as possible and set to do it ASAP.
4. If an action needs to be completed at a certain time or before a certain time, set a time (schedule for) for the action ).
5. The action can be handed over to another person. Select delegate. If you use outlook, you can enter someone else's email at the end, and click send to send your entire idea and filled information to him.

Organise/review/do (Planning/review/do)

This process includes reviewing projects (e.g.), reviewing actions, viewing completed actions, reviewing ASAP actions, reviewing actions delegated to others, and reviewing reservation actions, review future items and review information. By reading the name, you must know the role of this process. There is no extra information to introduce.
