I love love love the new Guide pages on how to use Workflowy to implement GTD, Bullet Journal, and Second Brain. These are excellent. Very well done. Now I might be asking alot.... But I would so love to figure out how to merge all three into ONE unified system using Workflowy – taking the best of all three. Bullet Journal seems to focus on Daily and Monthly appointments and tasks in more of a Calendar type of system.... including To Do items / Actions and appointments. Whereas Second Brain seems to focus on the organization of Projects and Reference and Archives. Obviously, some pieces of these three popular productivity systems overlap. Has anyone tried to combine them? For example, incorporating a Bullet Journal under your Calendar section of your GTD system.... and maybe incorporating a Second Brain setup under your Projects section of your GTD. There might be duplication among Resources and Archives.... maybe. I'd sure love it if your productivity experts at Workflowy would write a blog post / wiki / guide page on how to merge them all into one big useful system. 😉

  I'm experimenting with this by combining bits and pieces of free templates here, and things found across the web. It requires a lot of #tagging and @tagging. One must be disciplined in use. Honestly I think it would be more elegant in either Logseq or Obsidian, without the addition by Workflowy of — at minimum — embeddable queries and namespaces.

  I couldn't find a WF template for GTD that I liked enough, so I designed my own. (How can I attach a screenshot image here?)

  I see. Format menu doesn't show up in mobile mode. I had to load the desktop version.

   

  Here it is....

  Sorry for the duplicates.  I hope you can see the idea.   💡

  Thanks for sharing! How do you filter and cause your "next action" or "now" items to surface? Do you search for #tags or what do you do?
