The reader can use either one of the two links below to center himself again i.e. either go to the index page or the main page of Markus Gattol's to-the-net-published PIM (Personal Information Manager) system data. Pick the first one to start at the very beginning. This one explains what the schedule is, how to read it i.e. a description of certain symbols etc., why it is so valuable to Markus and how it works. Pick the second one if you already know about the PIM (Personal Information Manager) system Markus uses and how he uses it to manage his schedule. You should know all the different symbols and icons and what they determine in order to be able to understand the information below. If you have problems to understand it, then pick the first link, take your time to read and then come back.
The sections below match the GTD (Getting Things Done) planning major model. There are three special sections — Index of Note Headlines, Notes and Tasks contain data that is generated from the PIM (Personal Information Manager) system. Index of Note Headlines is not part of the planning major model but just in place to provide an index for Notes which matches the Brainstorming part of the planning major model. The Tasks section matches the Identifying next Actions phase of the planning major model. Defining the PurposeThis page is in place since I wanted to implement the checklist aspect of the GTD (Getting Things Done) principle into my PIM (Personal Information Manager) system which is Planner.Envisioning the OutcomeAs time goes by, the GTD principle demands to review all data within the PIM system. That is a good thing since one can gain overview and refocus his mind on the pig picture on a regular. The best approach to do a review of PIM data (tasks and notes) is to use some sort of checklist.GTD tells us the pig picture is more like a serious of pictures, each one telling about time periods that differ in length. Those time periods are also known as LOF (Levels of Focus). In fact, I (Markus Gattol) use a series of plan/context/project pages to reflect the LOF model as we know it from the GTD principle. Those LOF pages are my checklists. Tasks
