			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is&#160; just a very short Blog Post but I thought it was important enough to post.</p>
<p>Since a few days I have a feeling of anxiety and stress. Even though I am following the rules of GTD and am doing weekly reviews. At least, I thought I was doing GTD. But then I took a small break to have a view from a distance and thought at what causes my fear. After a few minutes I think I found the reason. At least, I think that now, but we’ll see in a few days or weeks. </p>
<p>I had Actions that actually should be Projects, or should be split into several Actions. So now I am converting these actions to Projects or I make smaller chunks so i don’t have an action that can take 8 hours. This looks banal, but if you ask me, that&#8217;s what GTD is all about. Little banal tricks to make you more productive and Get Things Done.    <br />These little thing make big things happen for me.</p>

<blockquote><p>On May 11th <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> 2.0 for iPhone was released in the AppStore. As I was waiting for this version, I downloaded the moment I could. In this post I’ll try to explain the (new) features, what it means to you and me and what I think about it.</p>
</blockquote>
<h1>Nozbe for iPhone v2.0</h1>
<p>The first thing that has changed is the logo. The logo is refreshed and I like it. Nothing more to say about that, it is just a nice logo. The home screen of the <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> 2.0 for iPhone has changed slightly. There was a great demand for an Inbox, and since it was implemented in a previous release of <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> on-line, it is also implemented in the iPhone App. For the rest, the menu remains the same except the Inbox is added (Inbox, Next Actions, Projects, Contexts, Calendar), but the layout has changed, and there are new icons.&#160; The icons at the bottom of the page have the same functionality as the previous version, but for them who haven’t used Nozbe for iPhone before, there are 5 icons as you can see in the screenshots</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image21.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb21.png" width="164" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>I added<font color="#004080"> 1 2 3 4 5</font> above the icons in the picture above. These figures match the list hereunder.</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the Home screen (this screen) </li>
<li>Show the Next Actions </li>
<li>Sync with Nozbe online </li>
<li>Add New action/Note/Project or Context (see extra screenshot) (<strong>Power Add Button)</strong> </li>
<li>Add an Action </li>
</ol>
<p>screenshot of menu item 4 Power add Button:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_05943.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_0594" border="0" alt="IMG_0594" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0594_thumb3.png" width="164" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Adding a new action (5) will add a new action in the <em>current</em> Project. You can enter a description and Edit the Details.     <br />In the details you can easy check it as done, make a Next Action of that Action, assign it to somebody else (remark:your Project where you create this action in must be shared) or add a comment. It is also possible to change the Project, add one or more contexts, set a time for that action, enter a Due Date with or without an hour(extra screenshot) and there are very nice and easy to use buttons to set the due day to Next Monday, Tuesday, … of Next day, week, month or year) and you can also define a recurrence.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_05993.png"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_0599" border="0" alt="IMG_0599" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0599_thumb3.png" width="164" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>When adding a new Project, you can edit the details.    <br />In these details you can specify a label, you can Share it and make it your Inbox.When you want to share the Project with somebody you didn’t share anything with before, you can invite that person via an email. This is all pretty straightforward.</p>
<p>Adding a note will bring you to the Edit note page, but it is strange that this doesn’t use the Inbox, but uses a random Project (at least, I didn’t found a pattern in it except it uses the same Project)</p>
<p>Adding New Context will allow you to create a new Context and assign an icon to it.</p>
<h1>What does this mean?</h1>
<p>It will definitely be easier to use <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> on an iPhone. The fact that you can use Nozbe on iPhone without having to create a Nozbe account might be a step forward to have somebody use it without registration, but then the price of the App would obstruct this advantage.</p>
<p>The navigation and collaboration features are really nice and being able to comment on your tasks might be useful in some cases.</p>
<p>Being able to sync files within the App is certainly a great feature. Now you carry your presentations, documents, .. with you, attached to the Project. I was only able to open a Word document (.doc) and a PDF. These files failed:&#160; and docx, ppt(x)(s) failed when I created these document in my Office 2010. I could not open them in the iPhone App.</p>
<h1>What I think : </h1>
<p>This is definitely a fantastic step forward for <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> iPhone users. The new layout is easy to use and gives peace of mind. The collaboration functions (delegate) and comments is also a nice features.</p>
<p>The fact that you can carry files with you in your trusted GTD system would be just great if it worked like it should. I’m not quite sure if this is a Apple, Nozbe or Microsoft Office 2010 issue.</p>
<p>Since this is the first release of V2.0, there is some serious margin for improvements. Here is a list of improvements I would like to see.</p>
<p>Wish list: (in order of importance for me)</p>
<ol>
<li>In the Next Actions overview the project should be listed somewhere (next to the Context icon?) </li>
<li>Integration with Evernote® </li>
<li>It should be possible to filter on context in the Next Actions overview. </li>
<li>Adding an action should also be possible in horizontal mode. Now it is just modifying an action that is horizontal-enable.      <br />In fact, I think the whole application should be available in horizontal mode </li>
<li>Notifications on iPhone (overview of what has a deadline that day) </li>
<li>Notification via <img src='http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> irect message on Twitter, email, text, .. </li>
<li>Nozbe users should have the ability to upload their own icons, </li>
<li>The Help functions is acting not logical. It starts with the <em>Add New Action,</em> then moves left to the <em>Sync,</em> then left to <em>Home,</em> then right to <em>Next Actions</em> and then right to <em>Add more.</em> Even I move my finger each time from right to left on the screen. </li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was recently searching on the exact syntax to add Actions and/or to email them so they’ll arrive , with or without notes in the Inbox or in a Project in <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a>. </p>
<p>On the <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> blog there were several posts that refer to each other and my purpose is to create this one page overview with everything you need to know when sending email to Nozbe. Since GTD is also about having an ubiquitous capturing tool, this is the ubiquitous Email to Nozbe page.</p>
<p>So, here is my overview of everything you need to know when sending emails to <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a>.</p>
<h1>First of all, it’s important to understand the “Nozbe language”</h1>
<h2>Syntax</h2>
<p>The syntax for a (Next)action is simple</p>
<p>Example:    <br /><em>Write a blog post about Email and Nozbe #blog @computer @home on today %30 min !</em></p>
<p>You just have to follow this syntax : </p>
<ul>
<li>#projectname : Add a # sign before the name of the project </li>
<li>@context : Add a @sign before the context. Multiple contexts can be used. </li>
<li>dates : write the date in the action like ‘On today’ , ‘ on tomorrow’, ‘next week’, ‘on June 18”. Nozbe understands these all. If you use a date, you also need to use “on” or “at” before the date. If you use next week or&#160; next month,&#160; you don’t need to use the prefix. </li>
</ul>
<p> <span id="more-277"></span>
<ul>
<li>% stands for time needed. Just note % <em>and the time needed</em> (there are limitations. These values can be used :&#160; 5min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h) </li>
<li>Repeat Actions : write down “<strong>every …” </strong>before the repeating interval. Eg. Every day, every week, every 2 weeks, every month,… </li>
<li>!: If you want this Action to be the <strong>Next Action</strong>, just add a ! (exclamation mark)&#160; in the action. The order is not important. </li>
</ul>
<p>So : Read Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen #become productive ! @home would result in adding the <strong>Next Action</strong>&#160; Read Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen in project “Become Productive” in the context Home</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image6.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb6.png" width="660" height="403" /></a> </p>
<p>The special formatting can also be applied when entering a Action with this syntax in the Web Client of when using the email to <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a>&#160; functionality.</p>

<h1>Creating Actions and Notes from your email client to Nozbe</h1>
<p>Now that you know the syntax, it’s easy to send emails to <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> with your actions.&#160; There is one thing you need to know about your account. On your <em>Settings page</em>, you need to configure a <em>Nickname</em> and a <em>PIN code</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image7.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb7.png" width="644" height="132" /></a> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image16.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb16.png" width="644" height="442" /></a> </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p></p>
<h2>Adding an Action to your inbox or a Project.</h2>
<p>Just send an email to <a href="mailto:Nickname.PIN@nozbe.us">Nickname.PIN@nozbe.us</a>. If you want the Action to be created in a certain Project, use this email address : <a href="mailto:Nickname.PIN.Project@nozbe.us">Nickname.PIN.Project@nozbe.us</a>. If your project contains spaces, replace them with an “_” <a href="mailto:Nickname.PIN.Project_with_spaces@nozbe.us">Nickname.PIN.Project_with_spaces@nozbe.us</a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h2>Adding Actions to multiple projects</h2>
<p>Send an email, using the syntax of §1 but as a prefix you must use an asterisk with a space “* “ before each Action.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image12.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb12.png" width="644" height="254" /></a> </p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<h2>Adding Notes to a Project</h2>
<p>Send an email to <a href="mailto:Nickname.PIN.Projectname@nozbe.us">Nickname.PIN.Projectname@nozbe.us</a> and the body of the email will be added as a Note. The Subject of the email will be the title.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image13.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb13.png" width="644" height="257" /></a> </p>
<p>You can also BCC your Nozbe account to add some reference material to your project. (if you reply to an email for example)</p>
<h2>Adding Actions and Notes to a Project </h2>
<p>This is really cool. Almost as cool as the Evernote integration <img src='http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Send an email to Nickname.PIN.Projectname@nozbe.us . The subject of the email will be the title of the note, the body of the email will include everything before the “* “ as a note and will threat the “* “ Actions independent. So, you can send this email to projectname and add Actions to Project2 if you want.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image14.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/image_thumb14.png" width="678" height="406" /></a> </p>
<p>So everything before the first “* “ will be a note to the project as mentioned in the email address, everything after the last “* “ sentence (in this case <a href="mailto:blahblahblah@home">blahblahblah</a>) will be ignored.</p>
<p>With this post you’ll see how powerful the Nozbe syntax is, and how easy it is to email <strong>(Next) Actions</strong> and <strong>Notes</strong> right into your GTD tool.</p>
<p><font size="1">&#8211;Update may 23rd 2010 :</font></p>
<h2>Adding a note to an action </h2>
<p>–&gt; will be saved as a comment in your Action in this case:</p>
<p>I have discovered this feature by accident. Well actually last week when i forwarded some e-mails, I noticed that in some cases my Notes weren’t saved as notes in my Projects. When I did some trial and error I discovered this: When you want to add a note, and have just <strong>one Action</strong>, you have to be careful. When you email the note with that action, the note will be added as a <u>comment </u>on that action. Only when you have more actions in the email, the note will be attached to the Project</p>
<p>&#160;<font size="1">&#8211;End Update may 23rd 2010 :</font></p>
</p>
<p>Macro designers and Visual Basic for Office developers, start creating some nice scripts, macros, …. <img src='http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . And off course, everybody who is not using Microsoft Outlook, but another email client, feel free to develop you add-on for your preferred email client!</p>

<p>For me the interesting part (at this moment) is the paragraph about the new iPhone. <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> has set up a partnership with <a title="http://macoscope.net" href="http://Mmacoscope.net">Macoscope</a>, a Polish software house that is specialized in development for the Apple platform.</p>
<p>The last modifications were done and the new <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> iPhone application is submitted to the Appstore. I can’t wait to start using it. It will be a paying App, and I hope it will not cost too much, but it will definitely add value to the <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> application. I’m currently using the version 1.0.2 which is a quite simple application that lacks lots of functionality.<span id="more-255"></span></p>
<p><strong>Horizontal view</strong></p>
<p>A new feature will be the horizontal view. In the current App you can only edit tasks in horizontal view, but Michael announced vertical editing functions in the new version.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iphonehorizontal.jpg"><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border-width: 0px;" title="iphone-horizontal" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iphonehorizontal_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="iphone-horizontal" width="244" height="134" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Context Icons</strong></p>
<p>I consider the context icons weak point. The black&amp;white icons or so outdated and they just don&#8217;t look nice. But I suppose (and hope) that will be modified in the new App, because the context icons got updated to very nice icons in the <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/a-C8F57F9D" target="_blank">Nozbe</a> WebApp. If we could just upload our own now…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/context.png"><img class="aligncenter" style="display: block; border: 0px;" title="context icons" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/context_thumb.png" border="0" alt="context icons" width="120" height="244" /></a></p>
<p>Other new features will be (as announced in this <a href="http://www.nozbe.com/gtd/blog/post-944676f/-preview_2-_new_features_of_nozbe_20_for_the_iphone:_collaboration_and_files" target="_blank">post</a>):</p>
<p><strong>Easier collaboration.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Share Projects from the iPhone (and iPad) App</li>
<li>Delegate tasks</li>
<li>Comment on tasks</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Working with Files </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>add and view files in your projects</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Easier navigation</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li>The Project section is redesigned so you can see actions, notes, files and project info as tabs on the project. This means that you’ll be able to access all project information quicker<br />
<a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iphonenozbe202.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" style="display: block; border: 0px;" title="iphone-nozbe20-2" src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/iphonenozbe202_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="iphone-nozbe20-2" width="188" height="244" /></a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<ul>I hope the new Nozbe for iPhone will be available soon in the AppStore , because it looks very promising.</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sinds enkele weken volg ik #GTD op Twitter en er zijn veel vragen van welke software (op het web) je kan gebruiken.  Daarom heb ik enkele screenshots van mijn RememberTheMilk configuratie genomen zodat je het verschil tussen de standaard RememberTheMilk en de aangepaste duidelijk kan zien. De aanpassing zijn gedaan met Greasemonkey scripts. Daarom zijn ze alleen werken op een op basis van Firefox-browser.</p>
<p>In mijn RTM configuratie gebruik ik 3 Greasemonkey scripts.</p>
<ol>
<li>Remember The Milk &#8211; Tag Cloud Colorizer</li>
<li>Remember The Milk &#8211; Keep Cloud Visible</li>
<li>Remember The Milk &#8211; display keyboard shortcuts</li>
</ol>
<p>Hieronder kan je een screenshot zien (Figure1)  hoe de standaard RememberTheMilk eruit ziet, zonder aanpassingen. Veel mensen op Twitter (inclusief mijzelf) vinden deze interface niet erg gebruiksvriendelijk, zeker niet als je met de verticale verantwoordelijkheids niveaus van Getting Things Done (GTD) werkt. (Actions, Projecten, Areas of responsibility, Goals, Visie, Life goals). <span id="more-209"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/011010_1943_enMyRe11.png" alt="" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #4f81bd; font-size: 9pt;"><strong>Figure 1<br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>Hieronder zie je een screenshot (Fiigure2) van dezelfde pagina, maar nu met de Greasemonkey scripts geactiveerd.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/011010_1943_enMyRe21.png" alt="" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #4f81bd; font-size: 9pt;"><strong>Figure 2<br />
</strong></span></p>
<h2>Wat moet je doen om dit zicht te hebben?</h2>
<ul>
<li>Creeer een gratis account op RememberTheMilk : <a href="http://www.rememberthemilk.com" target="_blank">http://www.rememberthemilk.com</a></li>
<li>Download en installeer Firefox als je dit nog niet hebt <a href="http://www.mozilla.com" target="_blank">http://www.mozilla.com</a></li>
<li>Download en installeer Greasemonkey <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748</a></li>
<li>
<div>Installeer deze Greasemonkey scripts :</div>
<ul>
<li>Remember The Milk &#8211; Tag Cloud Colorizer : <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25046" target="_blank">http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25046</a></li>
<li>Remember The Milk &#8211; Keep Cloud Visible : <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25050" target="_blank">http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25050</a></li>
<li>Remember The Milk &#8211; display keyboard shortcuts : <a href="http://userstyles.org/styles/1623" target="_blank">http://userstyles.org/styles/1623</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>De Tag cloud Colorizer moet je nog aanpassen (en je Tags in RTM ook) en dit duurt misschien een kwartiertje, maar het is het zeker waard!</p>
<p>Veel geluk met deze scripts en og meer geluk en plezier met Getting Things Done!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eén van de basisprincipes van Getting  Things Done is het hebben van een <strong>Mind like water</strong>. Je hersenen zijn zeer goed voor het hebben van ideeën, niet voor het houden ervan. Daarom moet je trachten zoveel mogelijk te verzamelen en bij te houden in een systeem dat je vertrouwd.</p>
<p> Let op, dit vergt enige aanpassing in je algemene manier van werken, en je moet je ‘trusted system’ een kans geven, want het duurt ongeveer 20 dagen voor je aangepast bent aan een verandering.</p>
<p>Lees eerst even <a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/nl/2009/06/02/what-is-stuff-where-does-it-come-from-and-what-should-you-do-with-it/">dit artikel</a> (in het Engels) voor je van start gaat met de mindsweep</p>
<p>Hier kan je enkele tips vinden voor een Mindsweep.  Dit artikel is gebaseerd op een live Twitter sessie van   @<a href="http://twitter.com/GTDCoachKelly">GTDCoachKelly</a>  via <a href="http://twitter.com/GTDSpecialEvent" target="_blank">@GTDSpecialEvent</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Neem pen en papier, of een andere vorm om je gedachten te noteren.</li>
<li>We gaan enkel verzamelen, niet analyseren, verwerken of organiseren&#8230;..  ENKEL  schrijven</li>
<li>De primaire vraag die je jezelf moet stellen: Waar gaat mijn aandacht naartoe?</li>
<li>Begin nu met op te schrijven naar waar je aandacht gaat.</li>
<li>Zijn er vergaderingen die eraan zitten te komen. Of een project, een installatie bij een klant?</li>
<li>Vraagt je vriendin, vrouw, man, kind of andere familie je  aandacht?</li>
<li>Niet beginnen nadenken over wat je nu noteert. Niet denken aan wat je op dit moment aan het doen bent voor sommige aandachtspunten.</li>
<li>Zijn er bepaalde zaken betreffende je gezondheid die je wel aan het doen bent in je hoofd, maar nog niets voor gedaan hebt</li>
<li>Zijn er zaken die je toch al ergens genoteerd hebt, noteer ze nogmaals je deze mindsweep.</li>
<li>Moet je iets doen voor je uitrusting, computer, laptop, &#8230;.</li>
<li>Kijk nu rond naar de ruimte waar je nu zit (bureau?). Wat is er niet EXACT zoals jij het zou willen. Noteer het</li>
<li>Heb geen bang om ZO VEEL mogelijk, zoniet alles te noteren omdat je bang bent van de werklast. Je kan altijd zaken parkeren voor later.</li>
<li>Hoe zit het met je Inbox? Of je Sent Emails? Scan deze om te zien dat er geen e-mails zijn die je aandacht vragen (bewust of onbewust)</li>
<li>Bekijk nu je kalender. Ga een paar weken terug in de tijd en een paar weken in de toekomst. Verzamel zoveel mogelijk informatie.</li>
<li>Verjaart er iemand binnenkort, of moet je Kerstcadeaus kopen. Noteer het!</li>
<li>Als je veel tijd hebt: Wat roept je aandacht als je van kamer naar kamer gaat. Noteer het. (of ga virtueel van kamer naar kamer)</li>
<li>Wees niet bang voor een grote, lange lijst. Je mind zal je dankbaar zijn!</li>
<li>Je moet niet alles morgen uitgevoerd hebben J</li>
<li>Is er iets dat je ooit wel eens wilt doen, noteer het (bvb. Spaans leren, parachutesprong doen, &#8230;)</li>
</ul>
<p> Je hebt nu enkel verzameld. Nu moet je voor al deze zaken <a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/nl/2009/06/06/what-is-stuff-and-how-can-you-handle-it-the-process-phasewat-is-stuff-en-hoe-ga-je-ermee-om-de-verwerk-fase/">verwerken</a> en <a href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/nl/2009/06/12/step-3-organize-organiseer/">organiseren</a>. Dit kost ook tijd, maar het is de moeite waard, anders is de Mindsweep waardeloos.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>De volgende stap in de workflow is organiseren.</h1>
<p>Je organiseert alles in lijsten zodat je de openstaande acties kan opvolgen. Het maakt eigenlijk echt niet uit waar deze lijst is. Je kan ze bijhouden op je computer, op een PDA, op je IPhone, op papier of je kan ze zelfs op je benen schrijven (het maakt uiteraard wel uit voor jezelf als je ze op je benen schrijft <img src='http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ), zolang dat je de lijst(en) maar hebt. Ik zal in een volgende post mijn GTD installatie beschrijven.</p>
<h3>Next actions</h3>
<p>Alle next actions zijn verzameld en staan genoteerd in deze lijst. Je kan (en ik raad het <strong>sterk</strong> aan) een context voorzien voor deze next actions. De context is extra informatie over <em>hoe</em>, <em>waar </em>of <em>waarmee </em>je deze next action kan voltooien. Enkele voorbeelden :</p>
<ul>
<li>Op kantoor</li>
<li>aan de telefoon</li>
<li>aan de computer</li>
<li>op het internet</li>
<li>in de winkel</li>
</ul>
<p>Waarom is deze context belangrijk? Stel je hebt net een goede lunch meeting gehad, maar op moment dat je terug op kantoor bent gaat al je beschikbare energie naar je spijsvertering. Dit is misschien een goed moment om wat telefoontjes te doen. Enkele low level, low brainpower telefoongesprekken die je dan kan voltooien en afpunten op je lijst.  Je neemt dus de lijst next action met context <strong>aan de telefoon</strong> en voila, daar heb je een overzicht van alle telefoongesprekken die je nog moet voeren.</p>
<p>Een algemene regel is dat je energieniveau ook zeer belangrijk is. Zowel je lichamelijke als je psychologische energie. Als je energieniveau en je denkkracht nog de grootte heeft van een insect, wat moet je dan doen. Dingen die je kan doen met deze niveaus van energie of denkkracht. Vul je nietjesmachine bij, of geef je planten in kantoor water (wacht niet tot ze afgestorven zijn) Geloof me, als je dit niet doet zal je op een bepaalde dag, wanneer je een overvloed aan energie en denkkracht hebt een document afdrukken, en dit document moet je meenemen naar een superbelangrijke vergadering maar je moet het eerst nog nieten. Net dan merk je dat je nietjesmachine zonder nietjes staat te staan op je bureau. &#8211;&gt; STRESS.<br />
Of ineens merk je op dat alle planten in je kantoor dood zijn&#8230;<br />
Gebruik je &#8216;braindead&#8217; momenten goed <img src='http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>Project</h3>
<p>Als de voltooing van iets meer dan 2 next actions vereist, is het een project. Yep, soms moet ik zelf nog aan dit idee wennen, maar het is wel iets dat werkt. Deze projecten dien je regelmatig na te kijken om zeker te zijn dat elk project zijn next action heeft om het project verder te sturen richting voltooing.</p>
<h3>Waiting for</h3>
<p>Op deze lijst houd je alle actions bij die je gedelegeerd hebt naar iemand anders. Via deze lijst kan je deze acties allemaal opvolgen en indien nodig een herinnering sturen.</p>
<h3>Someday/Maybe</h3>
<p>Dit is de lijst bevat  eigenlijk niet &#8216;actionable&#8217; zaken die je misschien later zou kunnen doen. bvb &#8216;informatie zoeken voor een reis naar Peru&#8217; of &#8216;leren ontwikkelen op SharePoint&#8217;</p>
<h3>De kalender</h3>
<p>Je kalender gebruik je om je afspraken bij te houden. De opvulling ervan is eigenlijk een zeer groot glas waat je stenen in legt. Tussen de stenen is er nog plaats voor kleine keitjes , en daarna is er nog plaats voor zand en daarna nog voor water. Dus je agenda bevat de &#8216;grote&#8217; zaken. Plan nooit meer dan 60% van je dag, want als je dit wel doet ga je serieuze problemen krijgen als er iets of iemand tussenkomt.</p>
<p>Wat staat er nog in je kalender? Alles dat zou sterven (ik vind de uitspraak &#8216;Anything that would die&#8217; zo goed dat ik ze in het Nederlands gewoon letterlijk vertaal maar het klinkt veel serieuzer in het Engels). Dus alles dat een negatief gevolg kan hebben als je het niet voltooid voor een bepaald tijdstip. Alle deadline gestuurde acties dus.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wat betekent de <strong>next action</strong> eigenlijk?</p>
<p>De <strong>next action</strong> is de eerstvolgende fysieke activiteit die  je moet uitvoeren om de huidige situatie te laten evolueren naar uitgevoerd.</p>
<p>Enkele voorbeelden van next actions :</p>
<ul>
<li>Bespreek met David om het boek te bestellen dat wij nodig hebben  (verhoog de competentie)</li>
<li>Bel Vanessa om een vergadering te plannen over onze marketing activiteiten voor volgende maand  (marketing campagne juli 2009)</li>
<li>Maak een Mindmap over de onderwerpen waarover ik kan bloggen   (update mijn blog)</li>
</ul>
<p>Deze acties zijn effectief fysieke acties die uitgevoerd moeten worden. Als ik ze uitvoer, zal dat het project waarvoor ze dienen richting voltooiing sturen. (een voorbeeld van een project is naast de next actions genoteerd tussen haakjes in de lijst hierboven)</p>
<p>Het basis idee is dus dat een project bestaat uit meerdere next actions, maar alles, of alle projecten hebben een next action nodig om voltooid te geraken.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We hebben allemaal enorm veel stuff. Stuff is om het even wat dat ergens rondom je heen ligt/staat, is. (Op je bureau, in je hoofd, in je postvak in, …) en op deze stuff is nog geen actie gedefinieerd.</p>
<p>Wanneer je al je stuff verzameld hebt (collect) moet je er iets mee doen. Eigenlijk is dit een steeds lopend process want je verzameld constant stuff, en je moet er steeds iets mee doen.<br />
In de verwerkfase (process) ga je bepalen wat je met de stuff gaat doen.</p>
<p>Ten eerste moet je bepalen als je een actie kan hangen aan de stuff. Als je er geen actie aan kan vasthangen heb je de jeuze uit deze drie mogelijkheden:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gooi het weg, verwijder het  (vergeet de <em>DEL</em> toets niet op je computer), of</li>
<li>Plaats het op een someday/maybe lijst, of</li>
<li>berg het op als referentiemateriaal</li>
</ul>
<p>Kan je er wel een actie aan hangen, dan moet je bepalen wat de volgende actie (<a title="The next Action" href="http://www.officeandbusiness.be/nl/2009/06/11/the-next-actionde-next-action/" target="_self">Next Action</a>) is. Het antwoord op de vraag &#8216;Kan ik er een actie aan hangen&#8221; kan enkel <strong>JA </strong>of  <strong>Neen</strong> zijn.</p>
<p>Als de Next Action minder dan 2 minuten duurt om uit te voeren, doe het dan ineens.</p>
<p>Als de actie meer dan 2 minuten zal duren, kan je het op je (project) lijst zetten en daarna delegeren of uitstellen. Indien je het delegeert, vergeet dan niet deze actie op je Wachtend op (Waiting for) lijst te zetten, zodat je dit ook kan opvolgen. Als je het uitstelt, kan je het in je kalender plaatsen (als het een ‘dagspecifieke’ actie is) of laat je het op je project lijst staan als een Next Action.</p>
<p>Oh ja, deze regels moet je <span style="text-decoration: underline;">absoluut</span> ook volgen :</p>
<ul>
<li>Laat je niet afleiden door stuff tijdens de verwerking. Behandel het stuk  per stuk, een voor een.</li>
<li>Leg <strong>nooit</strong> iets terug in IN</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stuff is all over. One of the basic principles of GTD is get everything out of your head, into a trusted system. I’ll explain more about my trusted system in a separate post.</p>
<p>Stuff is anything that you have allowed into your life (logical or physical), that doesn’t belong where it actually is, and you haven’t defined the desired outcome yet. It can occur to you in digital format, paper, email, voicemail, a small not you found in your jacket or it might be just stuff in your head.</p>
<p>But what does get it out of your head actually means? We’ll its a simple as can be, get it out of your head, and put in on paper. You can decide what you do with the paper later, but first get it from your head to a paper.</p>
<p>When my wife explained her &#8216;’lists’ to me, I laughed. She inherited this behaviour of making lists from her father who has worked as a HR manager. The reason I laughed with this was because the methodology was not the correct one for me. She worked with a Todo list, and for me a simple todo list doesn’t work. I needed more.</p>
<p>Now, how can you empty your personal in-basket (your head) and actually do something with it? Put it on paper. The moment you put it on paper, it’s out of your mind.<br />
And maybe you know, but your mind has no idea of time. Is has no clue of today, tomorrow or in a few months. The moment you open a loop (you start by engaging yourself to do something), it reacts like you should be doing that all the time, until it is marked as complete. Imagine what that does when you open 2 loops. Or maybe you are a crazy maker and your mind thinks you should be handling 50 tasks or 1000.</p>
<p>May I suggest you stop reading for 3 minutes and  execute this exercise : write down 5 current things that are on your mind at this moment. Really think good about it.</p>
<p>When you have written this small list down, how did you feel? I bet you felt some degree of positive emotion like relief, release, but possibly you also felt felt frustration, guilt, panic fear,… Isn’t it very strange that you can have such an opposite feeling by doing exactly the same exercise.</p>
<p>Welcome to the collection phase <img src='http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . After you have written it all down to paper, you have to process it. This means that you have to execute a list of actions on this pile of paper. The next phase in the 5 phases process of GTD. This is for a next post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a while since I blogged something. The main reason is that I was very busy. But being very busy is not a good reason. We will always be busy, all of our lives. I was just caught in the busy-trap. Busy doing what? Well, Iat this moment I am contracted in a large <a title="to Electrabel.be" href="http://www.electrabel.be" target="_blank">company</a> in the energy market as a Domain Expert <a title="to the SharePoint site @ Microsoft" href="http://sharepoint.microsoft.com" target="_blank">SharePoint</a> (since 2008), and I run (with an associate) a company in IT (Retail, business to business). I am also married and have got kids. So what was I actually doing? To be honest, sometimes I didn’t knew what I was doing, or what I was not doing and should be doing. Does this sound familiar?</p>
<p>A long time ago, a good friend of mine named Marcel told be some things about Getting things done and 7 habits of highly effective people. At that moment, I wasn’t ready for that life changing information, so I did absolutely nothing with it.</p>
<p>A few months ago I read Getting things done , ‘The Art of Stress-Free Productivity’ from David Allen.  This was that a life changing moment. After reading this book, I started looking on how to implement this in my life. This was definitely not a simple assignment..</p>
<p>Anyhow, these moments were life changing and therefore I will share this very useful information with you <img src='http://www.officeandbusiness.be/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I’ll do my best (and added it as a Next Action to my action list) to post on a daily base something about why this thing matters for me.</p>
