GTD Horizons of Focus with RTM

milkiglo says:
I am a huge fan of both GTD and RTM. I have structured my RTM lists based on David Allen’s concept of Horizons of Focus by prefacing my lists with a number that corresponds to a horizon.
My action lists read: 0Agendas, 0Calls, 0Errands, etc. Further Horizon Lists are: 1Projects, 2Areas of Responsibility and onward to 5Principals.
The sweet part of the numbering is that it keeps all my lists organized in a simple hierarchy. With this order I know where to put what when capturing or organizing my stuff. I am also use RTM’s Smart Add and this Horizons setup really kicks in to get my ideas out fast.
If you like GTD but have not really looked at working with horizons I have found Allen’s third book, Making it All Work to shed a lot of light on how these horizons fit into GTD.
