This is very brief description of how I use
Remember the Milk with
David Allen’s
Getting Things Done. Because Remember the Milk doesn’t fit Allen’s system exactly, each person will find a unique way to combine the two that works for him or her; this is only a starting point.
I’ll assume you’re familiar with
Getting Things Done and Remember the Milk. If not, read or listen to the book and
sign up. They’re both fast and the latter free.
- Lists
- One list for each company I work with, one Personal, and one Calendar (for actions that repeat or have fixed dates.)
- Tags
- Statuses start with an underscore, i.e. _today, _waiting, _next, _someday, and _ibnu (important but not urgent), contexts with a plus, i.e. +email, +phone, +web, and +errand, and projects with a dash: -project_a or -project_b.
- Locations
- Because locations show in the tag list, prefixing with a commercial at helps group and identify them, e.g. @home, @office, @Denver, @BentGate, @WholeFoods, etc.
- Smart lists
-

tag:-today or list:Inbox or dueBefore:tomorrow- 05 Min

timeEstimate:">5 minutes" and timeEstimate:"<16 minutes" and due:never- Personal
