    Discussion Forum > Why not DIT2?

    What if:

    1.) You use the core principles of DIT
    2.) You action items received today tomorrow, unless urgent
    3.) Once yesterday's items are "actioned", you decide if you are interested vs. committed in completing each item
    4.) If interested, add to Someday/Maybe (or whatever you want to call it) list, Review weekly to determine if status is changed to committed, if "yes" then add to DIT2
    5.) If committed, add 30 days out on planner/diary page.
    6.) Planner/diary pages are numbered, but dates are not entered until you add items to that page. Takes care of holidays, etc., but sticks to dismissal 30 days hence if no action taken.

    What if you call this system DIT2, leveraging principles of the DIT system combined with a more powerful "committed" task list with dismissal dates?
