It's truely one of the most important parts of my system. It's a bit of a strange hack / addition to the gtd system but it's been working reeaaally great for me as there are so many things I need to remember and my mind is so bad at it. I don't want a dozen extra tickler items on my google calendar for all 365 days of the year. I have about a dozen items on the daily reminder list. However, most digital tickler systems (like daily items/tasks in google calendar) aren't very fit for this. You might say, why not just use the tickler system? If you have a paper tickler system (43 folders) you could make a paper checklist and put it in there and move it to the next day every day. reading the daily one is part of my daily gtd process and the others are part of the weekly review. It consists of 4 simple checklists with stuff I want to be reminded of daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. To fix this, I added a reminder system to my gtd system. I know how to use my cellphone, right? Yes, but I forgot that I wanted to change something about how and when I recharge it. I obviously don't check it because at that moment I don't see why I should. To use the cellphone example: It's nice that the information about the li-ion batteries is in my reference, but if I don't check my reference sytem next time I pick up my cellphone, then I will miss the information. HOWEVER, a reference system alone doesn't do it for me, because I forget that there is some information that I need to check and remember. That's why he made the reference system, so you can store and look up information. Basically, as DA said, your mind is really bad at remembering things. I have a fairly wild mind, thinking and dreaming of so many things all the time that remembering is really quite hard for me. The problem is that the time between learning the information and needing it is too long. I need to be regularly reminded of some habit changes I need to make (mostly for GTD), bits of information I need to keep in mind (*1 example at the bottom) or websites I want to remember (*2). I had dozens of things like that including: stuff I need to 'look around for' in pretty much any store I visit (like you), also I need to remember to sit up straight and watch my posture (as I have RSI). Only if I really decide I never want the item do I delete it.Īlso saves time because as I add things we buy over and over (grocery shopping items) I no longer have to think about where to get a particular thing and since shopping for us is a once a month deal to the city for most major stuff and once a week or 2 for groceries it's critical that I list everything so we don't forget something. I can always make a decision on the fly not to get something. I use SplashShopper for all purchases even possible or future ones. I also have it listed under the fabric store, if I find a nice fabric I like I'll buy it and figure out how to make one. But it's still on the list and I keep looking whenever I am in the mall where clothing stores are. Haven't found anything close to what I want in fabric I like that I can afford. I have one looking for a navy casual blazer for me I can wear with jeans. We haven't found one yet but it's still on the list and we look whenever we are in a store with desk chairs. It has to be a certain height from the floor and be comfortable. I don't always buy the things on the list, we have one on ours that is find a new desk chair for hubby. When I go shopping I look at the list for that store. It would be linked to all the stores where I could purchase that. It organizes the items by store so in my case I'd have the stores I regularly shop in listed there and one item to buy would be picture frame. I use a separate software package to track all needed and possible purchases called SplashShopper.
