Managing Recurring Events as Projects

Effectively managing recurring events involves understanding how to approach them within the Getting Things Done (GTD) framework. Each event can be treated as a project, as they have specific outcomes that must be achieved. Utilizing checklists for event preparation can help streamline the process by reducing the cognitive load involved in remembering repeated tasks, such as confirming speakers and preparing handouts. By blending recurring project management with areas of focus, it's possible to simplify the overall tracking of these events without overwhelming the system with too many individual projects.
