@Kerry, thanks for speaking up, we are all about that! If people don’t have the right hands free tech or laws in your state prohibit against using a hands-free system in the car then please don’t make calls in the car. Some prefer to not make them all, as you mentioned, which I totally understand. The calls list can be great for anytime you find yourself with a few minutes and you want to make a couple of quick calls. Its the list that solves my problem, not where i make them; it really helps when i have a few minutes at work, at home, when i’m waiting for my flight to leave at the airport, etc. I love it because it makes it easy to see the calls without having to sift through a lot of stuff. And i’m totally with you about trying to find items that are superfluous. I am in constant re-evaluation mode. I have take the opinion of David Allen – when you have agreements you have three choices, 1) do them, 2) say “no” to them, or 3) renegotiate them. I think there are far too many things on our lists that fall into the second and third category. There’s a lot of wisdom in your comments.

take care —Justin

@Tambra. Really great points you make here. And i love the questions that people should consider. Thanks for contributing to the conversation! If you don’t have proper hands free technology or laws in your state prohibit against using a hands-free system in the car then people should NOT make calls in the car. Some prefer to not make them all, which I totally understand. The calls list can be great for anytime you find yourself with a few minutes and you want to make a couple of quick calls…good luck with ongoing “refining” you mentioned with your lists!! —Justin

🙂 thanks @Donna. Good point. If you don’t have the right hands free technology or laws in your state prohibit against using a hands-free system in the car then people shouldn’t make calls in the car. Some prefer to not make them all, I totally get it. The calls list can be great for anytime you find yourself with a few minutes and you want to make a couple of quick calls. Thanks for chiming in!

@Chris, @Cathy, Yes, thanks for bringing up that concern. If you don’t have proper hands free technology or laws in your state prohibit against using a hands-free system in the car then please don’t make calls in the car.

@Nina, @David Rossiter is right. We cover it extensively in the course and actually help people build lists in this way.
