This post describes my daily workflow process.

Currently, this is more of an ideal than a full-on reality. I have only partially implemented the strategies here.  Perhaps my ToDo list is too great at this time to make this truly effective.  So, I'm circling right around to the point:  DO WORK!  Don't spend so much time managing it.  But, if you don't spend enough time managing your life, your life will manage you.

* GMail
* Google Calendar (that also shows Google Tasks)
* A ToDo list (as a Google Doc)
* A joint ToDo list with my wife (also as a Google Doc)

* GTD Folders: Inbox, ToDo, Awaiting, Calendar, and Supporting Project Folders

On a daily basis, I review the ToDo list.

I should be chunking out specific tasks in a week to place them on the Calendar.  Scheduling the time for a specific task is great, but it is most important to actually do the work when scheduled.  Build good habits in time-keeping, work-estimates, and accomplishing.

For Gmail, I use some of the lab features:
