I would sure love to see what kind of buckets are the most effective. As for coping with a GTD system, I've been using the Toodledo App on the iTouch to sync my tasks with the powerful Toodledo website and gmail calendar . I've played around with 'Remember the Milk' and 'Things' but found myself mostly managing menus rather than focusing on my own stuff. I’m with Patrick on this one.

Can't locate said buckets information. Please advise. Great site, btw.

I guess I will be trying Stikkit in the near future to see if it resolves my "problems". I am for ever torn between settling on one GTD system on the one hand, and tweaking and tuning and using new GTD tools, on the other hand :) But I guess that's all part of the natural process of GTD!

One is for work (development projects) and the other is for home. Usually the home lists are pretty simple, so I don't run into that problem. However, with my work lists, I've struggled with what you're talking about for quite some time. But then I started playing with Stikkit. Oh man, it works like a dream. Stikkit is a web-based sticky notes, but they're smart. What fixed the above problem for me was the fact that you can imbed lists INSIDE of a sticky note at Stikkit. And it not only tracks the note but also the list in separate places. Now I can add as much contextual info as I want about each list item. Problem Solved! This is a great discussion. The solution above only works with the web. Does anybody else have similar solutions to adding context to todo lists? Well, I have 2 systems.

As a true GTD-er I am very strict about writing everything relevant on my projects and/or next actions list. However, they are becoming quite large no matter how many tasks I do each day. I am using my own custom Excel GTD system and I print all the lists to a PocketMod. Soon the lists will not fit on my PocketMod anymore though! ;) How do you cope with that in your GTD system?
