[New to Getting Things Done
In case you haven’t made enough lists this past week, here are some you can add to your binder when you’re ready:
- A list of Next Actions for each project on your Projects List (for example, if my project was “Site Design for MMLC,” I would list each and every task that needed to be completed). This will help you to stay on track.
- A grocery list. Separate it into sections (produce/ meat/ pre-packaged/ bakery/ etc.) and you’ll make your shopping trips a whole lot easier.
- A “Want to Buy” list (otherwise known in my house as the “When Pigs Fly” list). Order it and prioritize each item according to how urgent/desirable it is.
- A list of addresses/phone numbers. You can either make an entire section into an address book or only make a page for the contact information you use the most.
These are just a few ideas. Feel free to chime in with your own.
Speaking of lists, Jennifer emailed me the link to List Plan It the other day (who, by the way, has recently joined the blog community — go say hi!). Have you ever heard of this? It’s a subscription-based service that gives you access to over 250 ready-made lists. It’s awesome1.
Some of the lists that have peaked my fancy are the responsibility lists for your kids, all of the lists that are included in creating your own life binder (she’s got instructions…so cool), the menu planner, the grocery list, the recipe cards…oh my gosh. Something I never knew I needed, but now I do not want to live without.
Thanks for letting me take a peek, Jennifer! I think you’ve definitely got a good thing going.

Stumble it!
Sarah, I’m sure this is a great system, but I think I need a two week vacation to implement it! Keep up the good work.
