You need to control commitments, projects, and actions in two ways--horizontally and vertically. Horizontal control maintains coherence across all the activities in which you are involved. Vertical control, in contrast, manages thinking, development, and coordination of individual topics and projects. In this webinar recording, Ana Maria Gonzalez talks about the relationship between these two levels of control and how you can leverage them both for your productivity.

How to know when the urge to change the tool is because of a limitation with the current tool, or is covering a GTD implementation issue? How far ahead can we know what potential actions a project will have, beyond the one next action? When to create sub-categories within a larger Read/Review category?
This was another in our ongoing GTD Office Hour discussions. We talked about how to handle separate work and personal systems, the relative importance of form and function in a task manager, restarting GTD after getting behind, and the boundaries between areas of focus and projects.

For this office hour, we had a lively discussion of horizons of focus and their timelines, projects and their associated next actions, decision making, and more. We also considered approaches to completing the previous year and beginning the new year. PDF for completing last year and beginning this year. From community members, here are possible questions for completing a year, and beginning a new one. 1. Describe 2023 for you in one or two sentences. 2. Is there a song, book, or movie that impacted you in 2023? What was it? Why did it impact you? 3. What surprised you most this year? 4. What was the best part of your typical day? 5. What was your greatest adventure this year? 6. What were your wins? Failures? What did you learn? 7. What made you feel energized? Tired? What did you learn? 8. What were your greatest joys?

Now that you have reflected, describe 2023 for you in one or two sentences again. More potential questions: 1. What are my wins or successful outcomes for the the year? 2. What unfinished business from this year do I have that will carry forward to next year? 3. What was I most happy about completing? 4. What would make me the most happy to complete in the coming year?
