If you can’t buy and install a plug in for lotus notes designed for tasks management,like one of the GTD plugins available, I think a lotus based GTD system is doomed for failure, even if you buy the guide to using notes for GTD.Â
My stress level has decreased now that I use notes for as little as [...]
I was very surprised to find the Document Database built into Lotus Notes given my overall experience with the product.
Creating a Document Database gives you an easy way to organize your files and intermingle files with text notes (i.e. by dropping them into a note in the database), and you can categorize them, and [...]

I just saw an article on the Noguchi Filing System . I am trying something similar for receipts and warranties - I am planning one file per year.
I took an Economics course around 1986 from Andrew Booth (inventor of the Booth Algorithm). Dr. Booth lectured on a lot of things [...]
