Hi,

I'm posting my semi-GTD system here in case someones finds it useful or simply to improve my system based on new ideas.

Why a semi-GTD system? I think GTD is great but I don't follow it to the letter. I have two distinct areas on my system (Work and Home) and any system has to incorporate both, allowing me to hide one but be a click away. Also my Work has a lot of paper with a bunch of "Put out this fire now" moments; as such my system can filter by context, but I don't use the time or energy fields. To counter this I have a Focus list, with things that are Next Actions and that I want to take care of.

My projects can be sequential with only one Next Action, or parallel with several tasks to get done

My fields are:

Priority 3: Allows for focus

My task: I focus on using verbs (for action) and placing as much info as possible

Context: I represent them as tasks. I have the usual ones (as call, computer, office) but also have "coworker" or "boss1" or "boss2"; for other persons I have the "Someone" with the name of the person in the task

Location: 2 Locations, allowing me to filter between Work and Home

Due Date: My calendar is sometimes full of meetings and I have tasks that are defined with due date, and I place them here for them not to get lost

Status: I use only the status - Next Action, Active (for the tasks following the Next in Projects), Waiting, Someday and Scheduled - these are simple lists.

Note: I try to always place links for Springpad, Dropbox or Gmail

All my tasks must have a context, a tag and must belong to a list (have a status).

So, my system goes like this:

I have five lists: 1-Next Action , 2-Active , 3-Waiting , 4 - Someone , 5 - Scheduled (the numbers are part of the name so its easier to enter a new task)

I have 3 smart lists:
Focus Home: priority:3 and location:Home OR dueBefore:tomorrow and location:Home
Focus Work: priority:3 and location:Work OR dueBefore:tomorrow and location:Work
No Tag or Location: isLocated:false OR isTagged:false

With the tag cloud I can filter all my tasks by context.
In my weekly review I place the field priority 3 on all the tasks I want to focus on (the most importants).
All my tasks with due date are in the scheduled list so it can serve as an easier to review list.
Projects have also a tag started with p-name_of_ project, with the Next Action in the list 1, and all tasks that are from that project but are not next in the list 2 (active).

I live with my smart lists, for when I'm at work or at home I can see my tasks that I want to focus or are due.

Hope this helps anybody and all feedback is welcomed - if I didn't explained well feel free to ask.
