GTD Incompletion Trigger Lists
I don’t know if anyone else has done this yet, but I made these and I find them handy and maybe some of you will as well. They are GTD incompletion lists turned into MindManager templates. What I do is, I start a new mind map, add branches tagged as tasks to the branches in the templates, and then sync with Outlook. I then delete the maps, because I use a master Outlook task map. It is, for me anyway, a nice way to do a brain dump and get everything into Outlook in a visual environment. I use them as a cognitive funnel.
There are separate templates for business + personal, business only, and personal only.

One of the early GyroQ tags I set up was to prompt myself through a the series of triggers and enter the resulting actiion into an in-tray.

In practice I find my overflowing inbox provides more than enough triggers, so this doesn’t get much use but someday I’ll get on top of things enough to need to be prompted again!
