Got Zero?
Just wanted to quickly post and say that, just now, I hit “zero”. After a week of being out of the office from having a baby, and returning to office to brand new chaos, I still managed to get to zero.
For the GTD newbies, that means that I’ve processed every item in my various inboxes and made a Do, Delegate, or Defer decision, or filing things for reference. For me, it also means that for any partially defined tasks that I’ve captured with my PDA, in my moleskine paper notebook, or with GyroQ on my desktop, all of them have been properly defined, assigned owners, some dates, some priorities, and moved out of my ResultsManager In-Tray into real maps where they’re supposed to live.
So…email inbox–zero (including personal inboxes); Outlook task list–zero; ResultsManager In-tray–zero; moleskine task lists–zero.
Next step: it’s time for a deep-cleaning review!

Congrats. My tracking system tells me that inbox zero is 9 days away.

Bling bling my friend. Bling bling.
Now, can you keep it processed weekly for the next month?
You do that and Davidco should send you a black belt in the mail with a Texas-size GTD belt-buckle.
