Managing Projects with GTD on Paper

Much has been written about going paperless. But you can manage projects and be faithful to the Getting Things Done methodology using paper. GTD changed how millions think about work, but most people struggle to make it stick. My course, “Getting Things Done: An Implementation Guide” skips theory and shows you how to put GTD into daily use. You’ll learn clear, practical ways to implement GTD so it works in your real life.

A simple folder system keeps project notes, contacts, contracts, and meeting records in one place. Notes are dated, stored in order, and marked for action items, waiting tasks, and questions. Each project gets its own folder, creating clear workflow and easy reference. Paper offers focus, simplicity, and reliable task tracking, with the only risk being forgotten folders at meetings. • The GTD method started as a paper based productivity system. • Some people prefer paper over digital tools for project management. • Each project gets its own labeled folder for organization. • Contact details are stored on the left side for quick reference. • Project notes stay on the right side in date order. • Every note includes a date for clear meeting tracking. • Action items are boxed to stand out for task management. • Waiting tasks are marked to track follow ups. • Notes are reviewed before filing into project folders. • The system keeps contracts and records together for easy access. 🏫 MY COURSES My popular online courses focus on mastering Evernote, building a productivity system that will help you, as well as on leadership and management issues: - Evernote For Beginners https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/evernote-course - Evernote: Beyond The Basics https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/productivity - Pathway to Productivity and Better Time Management https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/productivity - Getting Things Done with Evernote https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/gtd-with-evernote - Getting Things Done in a Digital Environment https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/GTD-Digital - Effortless Email: Strategies for a Seamless Workflow https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/email - Better Meetings That Won’t Waste Your Time https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/meetings - How To Manage Difficult People https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/MDP - How To Be A Better and More Confident Public Speaker https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/speaker - Job Interviews: What Employers Want To Hear https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/interviews - Getting The Job You Want: A Step by Step Approach https://dedwards-school-d882.thinkific.com/courses/jobsearch 📕MY BOOKS - "Be A Leader Not Just A Manager” https://daveedwardsmedia.com/be-a-leader-not-just-a-manager/ - “The Public Media Manager’s Handbook” https://daveedwardsmedia.com/services/the-public-media-managers-handbook/ 👬 LET’S WORK TOGETHER - Productivity https://daveedwardsmedia.com/productivity/ - Evernote https://daveedwardsmedia.com/evernote/ - Leadership https://daveedwardsmedia.com/leadership/ - Prepare For A Job Interview https://daveedwardsmedia.com/prepare-for-your-job-interview/ - Public Media https://daveedwardsmedia.com/publicmedia/ - General Help & Coaching https://daveedwardsmedia.com/coaching/ 🆓 FREE Get my free weekly newsletter https://daveedwardsmedia.com/contact/ 💻 LET’S CONNECT - Website | https://www.DaveEdwardsMedia.com - Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/daveedwardsmedia.bsky.social - X / Twitter | https://x.com/DaveEdwardsLLC - LinkedIn | http://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-edwards-140680a0 🙋‍♂️ ABOUT ME After more than 30 years as a leader in the communications field, I am now helping individuals and organizations with leadership, management, and productivity issues.
