Q: How did you organize your tasks? Am I supposed to have a main Projects category and corresponding action tasks categorized @home, @work, etc?
David Allen: Yes, my Next Action lists are To-Do categories in Lotus Notes. “Projects” is a category, just like the Action lists of “Calls” “At Computer” etc. They are simply flat lists, tied together with your review of the whole system.
Thanks for this simple approach.
How do I print off a hard copy of my to-do list using Lotus Notes? I’ve just moved from Outlook and I’m used to printing a hard copy once a week before my weekly review.
Hi Amanda,
Depending on which version of Notes you have, this may help.
Open your To Do list. Press Ctrl+A to select all. Go to File>Print. On the print dialog box, in the section “What to print,” click the option for “Selected view.” Then click OK to print. This should print a listing of the To Do items. Be careful not to click “Selected documents,” because that will open and print each one, rather than printing the list.
