I'm liking how it feels so far. Has anyone already suggested the following: create a contact named next actions with the email address of joe.blow+NextActions@gmail.com create a filter to apply the Next Actions label to any email addressed that way? It saves a step or two. Thanks for the white paper on GTD/GMail. I’m liking how it feels so far. Has anyone already suggested the following:

Yes, I did tinker with using email address based filters for a while, but realized that the few seconds it takes to process them is actually valuable to my workflow. I do think it's a great tip though. I do have a filter that adds a star if I put "ACT" in the subject for next actions. I also use a few greasemonkey scripts (see <a href='http://persistent.info/archives/2005/12/23/greasemonkey' rel="nofollow">this page</a>) that help my process without taking my mind out of it. Thanks for coming by! Hi Bruce,

I love gMail and use it constantly and am thinking I am going to try your system first. I do have a question though. Do you use a separate gMail account for GTD than your normal everyday gMail account? It appears that way from your article and that is what I am thinking of doing. What do you think? I guess I really need to learn how to use labels and stars now. Scott I just finished reading GTD and am anxious to get started but am having a hard time deciding on an electronic system to try.

I guess I really need to learn how to use labels and stars now.

Any email that comes in gets processed as an action. It works very well actually. I've known people to use 2, but it isn't easy to switch between accounts in gmail... that's my biggest complaint with the method. Thanks for reading! Hi Scott,

If I need the reference, I remove it from the Project label and remove the star. Sometimes I'll add it to a new context so it can be easily found. Hi Charles,

If the subject says it all, "eom" will save a click into the message. “eom” is “End of Message.” If the subject says it all, “eom” will save a click into the message.
