[chandler-users] Chandler and time management

[Rick Rawson]

 From a post by Mimi:
"You come out of a meeting with a dozen new “things” to “research” and 
“think about”. You’ve scribbled them into your notebook. But now you 
don’t have a good way to develop and track those things as you make 
progress on them: Follow up with X about Y. Where do you keep track of 
what X tells you about Y while you figure out what it is you need to do 
with Y?"

I am finding that Chandler does not organize my life. It only helps ME 
organize my life. And that takes time and work. There are any number of 
different strategies within Chandler that can be used to be sure I don't 
forget all those "things" to "research" and "think about." None of those 
methods is magic; all require MY brain and my time. I have to take the 
time to figure out what works for ME in MY context and with MY 
personality and deficiencies. What I like about Chandler is that it 
provides me with some tools so that I can devise my own solutions. 
...and why I would not advocate that Chandler adopt a particular 
time-management solution (e.g., GTD), most of which are simply fads that 
will eventually be replaced.

P.S. If the development team has any interest in knowing how I use 
Chandler to solve these sorts of problems, I can provide that 
information rather easily. I keep a running list of how I use Chandler 
on a day-to-day basis.
