I must admit that I've read some "Getting Things Done" related literature and that this organization method usually suggests to do small tasks on the fly instead of putting them in a TODO list as putting them in TODO list takes almost as much time as doing them. I do use GTD to keep up with all my work. (And an example of this "on-the-fly" processing is for creation of VCS repositories on Alioth) http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/GTD GTD is quite popular and has been discussed on planet Debian several times together with the "Inbox Zero" principle... that's why I said "well-known". But you're right that I should have given more references. http://www.43folders.com/izero Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
