Another Postscript:
The story of the frogs keeps getting better. After we were done with our frogs I passed them on to my friend Phil. Phil and his son won their heat and got their picture in our local paper.
Look at that frog go. Can I pick winners or what!? :)

Complete... participation in 4th of July frog jumping competition
I looked at my calendar today and saw this as a day specific action.
Catch frog for frog jumping competition
I love the way things show up in my GTD system to remind me about the important things.
From a GTD levels of perspective (aka horizons of focus) perspective. This project aligns to 40k goal of "making memories."
There you have the behind the scenes look of a GTD example from my life. I now need to get down to business and catch one of these. "Come on kids, let's go find our winner!"

Great post Mike!
GTD, in this case, might mean:
"Getting Toads Done"
I have been looking for ways to help my daughter (3 1/2) grow up using GTD. I'm not able to find many books or resources on GTD and children. You have created many creative and great ways of doing this.
Thanks!
Mike,
I've been following your blog for a few weeks now and just discovered in reading this post that you're also in Vermont! The frog jumping contest gave it away. I'm in South Burlington.
Keep up the great work!
Paul
Jason,
I love it... "Getting Toads Done"... that is a good one.
I've found GTD with kids can be lots of fun. My general philosophy in this is that I am "planting seeds" for the future. So far so good.
Thanks for the comment.
Paul,
Yes, I am. Perhaps we can get together for a cup of coffee sometime and share things GTD.
For implementing GTD you can use this web-based application:
http://www.Gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.
Great post. I am in the middle of teaching my girl how to ride a bike and this is very helpful
I think you are on to something here, "How To" sheets for teaching your kids many of lifes skills.
Could you do your next one on "Teach a kid to tie their shoes"
