A simple (if impure) solution is to add a secondary "Someday/Maybe" list. Call it something like "Eventually/Remotely-Possible".
Limit your S/M list to a comfortable number of entries, and drop the ones that don't make the cut to E/RP. Review S/M regularly, review E/RP only when curious, or when one of the items becomes of renewed interest.
I'm an archivist by nature. I don't like to delete items. E/RP can grow to thousands of items, and that's OK. Occasionally one will be revived. The rest will be keep each other company.
- pessimizer 4y agoI think the complaint isn't that one couldn't try different ways to manage the problem, it's that the system doesn't address it at all.
- BeetleB 4y agoYes, precisely. I've found solutions similar to the other commenters. My complaint is: 1. This is a common problem - I'm not unusual. 2. GTD's approach to this problem doesn't really work - hence everyone here listing how they solved it in a way that differs from GTD (i.e. not reviewing it weekly).
- quesera 4y agoI don't see this as an issue. I don't think I've ever met a system that fully addressed all requirements of all participants -- in any category of systems. There's no pretense to divine scripture here. Adopt the good bits, avoid the dogma.
