Thanks for our note. You might have noticed I added your question to my latest post.
Here's what I do:
I make sure I am capture ready. You may have a 50K idea in the grocery store.
I typically process the ideas into...
- checklists - Questions I like to ask myself - Active projects - Someday projects
I also have a few journals I keep. I should probably start one 50k journal but I have not done that yet.
I find the capture process an important part of the 50k thinking. You capture things that have your attention. Once you have a bunch of these items it starts to paint a picture.
When you start to see the picture you can ask yourself:
Definition: "anycontinuous tract or area that differs in some respect, or isdistinguished for some purpose, from adjoining tracts or areas, or within which certain distinctive circumstances exist or are established."
I noodle, doodle, research and write about the intersection of GTD and my day to day life - - especially the lessons I learn as share this information with my children.
I play many roles in my life:
I am a husband,
a parent (father of two),
a son,
a sr. manager at GE Healthcare
and a youth sports coach
... to name a few.
I use these roles to draw inspiration for my posts on Zone by Zone. My personal goal is simple:
Channel energy toward positive outcomes.
Welcome to the conversation. It is good to have you here.

- Is this the direction I want to head?
If yes, great. Continue capturing...
If no, why not. Continue capturing...
I hope this helps and adds to the discussion.
