I loved the concepts, but at 27, I still placed a lot of trust in my memory. Then I got pregnant. Now that a massive hormonal shift has occurred and I&#8217;m the sleep deprived, full time working mother of a 1 year old, GTD lists are the only thing that keep me from sinking.<\/p>\n<p>Outlook tasks combined with my Blackberry are my weapons of choice. Probably my biggest saving grace is the Agendas category. Three biggies: @ diaper bag , @ doctor and @Target.<\/p>\n<p>@Diaper bag-Nothing is worse than getting to a restaurant with your somewhat cranky toddler only to realize you don&#8217;t have any snacks. Before I leave the house I do a quick check of my @ diaper bag list to make sure all the essentials are accounted for (Diapers, wipes, plastic bags, snacks, toys, sippy cup, extra clothes (for baby and me), etc.)<\/p>\n<p>@Doctor-As a first time parent the list of things I can come up with to worry about (and of course Google) is way too long to keep between doctor visits. So if one pops up, I quickly record it, and the next time we have a check up I can bring my lists of concerns with me.<\/p>\n<p>@Target-This one is self explanatory, but it&#8217;s huge for me. I&#8217;m forever running out of something, and this keeps me from realizing at 4 am that I used my last diaper before bed.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few of the small ways that GTD keeps me sane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Community Contribution by Sarah Albright I began my GTD journey in 2005 when I took a 2 day version of the class at work.
