Hard to keep organized ;) That may be it --- GTD assumes you are keeping track of the next actions needed to acheive a project. But often your "project" in sysadmin work is just keeping your head above water. The one thing I think a GTD-type methodology could help with in sysadmin work is to convert all your inboxes (mail, trouble ticketing system, etc.) into tasks that can be dealt with on the same level. If /everything/ is in the trouble ticketing system, you may not really need org-mode for doing GTD at work. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
