What is the Next Action for ActivityOwner.Com?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Reviewing my ResultsManager review dashboard this morning I found just a couple of projects related to my “blog” area and a long list of someday/maybes. I thought it might be useful to solicit reader guidance on where it would be most valuable for you to focus. Basically I’m wondering whether to focus on discussing, enhancing, […]

Put it in front of the door in 2010

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Two of the biggest barriers to making good use of ResultsManager for Getting things Done (GTD) tend to be (1) the need to manually refresh dashboards and (2) the need to access to do list items away from your computer. When you sit down to get too work, the last thing you want to do […]

MindReader 2.0

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

After a few weeks of shakedown and clean-up, it seems the setup.exe program created to install MindReader, Mark Task Complete, and Next Action Analysis and their associated Gyronix GyroQ tags is just about ready for prime time. If you are a MindManager user and have wanted to give these tools a try in the past, […]

Six Components of a GTD Review

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Things have gotten a bit quiet in “gyrospace” lately. Perhaps this is because folks have given up on their new year’s resolutions or moved on to other tools. I’m hoping it is because we are all successfully focusing on Getting Things Done rather than tinkering with our systems and surfing blogs. After three years of […]

The Next Action Analysis macro has been updated to log your scores into comma delimited notes on a mindmanager log map each time you run it on your ResultsManager daily action dashboard. The central topic note contains the date/time stamp, the overall score, and each dimension’s score. The branches contain tables with the actual values […]

2008 GTD Challenge Results

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Back on New Year’s day I proposed Five Metrics for assessing the state of your GTD system. The idea was to assess the Freshness, Focus, Feasibility, Foresight, and Finishing (5F’s) of your current next actions and combine these into an overall score. The Next Action Analysis macro calculates and sorts these metrics for ResultsManager users […]

Next Action Analysis Updated

Monday, January 14th, 2008

The Next Action Analysis tool’s report has evolved quite a bit over the last two weeks (see picture below) since the initial post (5 metrics for assessing your GTD System). Here is a summary of the changes: Added more targeted recommendations for the specific metrics with the most room for improvement along with wiki links […]

Next Action Analysis 2008 GTD Challenge

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

2007 was a year we largely focused on improved capturing and staging of tasks with tools like MindReader, Mark Task Complete, and OutlLinker. Perhaps 2008 can focus on improved weekly review and action? To kick it off and to provide some group moral support for getting things done, I’d like to propose the following contest: […]
