Applying my weightloss and fitness goals to organizational scheme has always been a challenge. Should exercise be a to do? or a scheduled meeting? I've only been using GTD for a few weeks now and just recently tried a new way to organize my goals. I'm using LifeBalance to plan. I'll try to break it down (please forgive 'cause I left my phone at home today). I have a project/life goal (Lose XX lbs by date), then subgoals. I created a context called Daily Reminders where I place my daily goals that I'm trying to stick to (i.e. no junk food, take a multivitamin, drink 8 glasses water, make lunch, no fast food, etc.). I check the context "Daily Reminders" several times a day.

Under the project heading (Lose XX lbs) I placed subprojects: exercise, weight loss milestones (which are dates I want to lose X lbs by increments to the final goal date. This is so I don't constantly see (for example) Lose 50 lbs everyday, which is daunting to say the least, but Lose 5 lbs (due March 1), which is challenging but manageable. And something I can check off a lot sooner than Lose 50.). My exercise goals pop up routinely (every other day) and will probably be linked to a time in the future. But in general are just listed under home, which is checked often enough that I see Run 2 miles and know I have to figure out when I'm going to do that. Eating better, includes planning meals, making food lists, cooking meals, foodshop on the to do. So that I'm reminded to do the planning necessary to stick to the basic rules of whatever diet I'm following. GTD is helpful because losing weight requires motivation AND planning. Weekly reviews/daily reviews are important to keep your overall goals in your mind. And are listed as next items under the project goal to accomplish every week. Planning when I can exercise. I also add tasks I need to do to avoid diet/exercise pitfalls like make a list of places to order out from/eat at and what I can order there. This way I'm prepped for all situations.
