My proposed steps for the Emotional Getting Things Done system:

1. When you begin the system for the first time, write down every
emotion that still plagues you from your past (e.g. the death of a
loved one), problems that are on your mind about current events or
events in the very near future (e.g. worrying about failing that test
this week), and problems in the forseeable future (e.g. dilemmas over
how to spend your life). The examples that I listed are all bad
feelings, but the same should go for happy ones: you are included in a
promising opportunity, you just lost 30 lbs, etc.

2. During your day, whenever a meaningful emotion hits you, right it
down immediately! "Gee, I sure am pissed that my best friend Billy
would say something about <insert person>. I'm going to write
down my anger so as to not let it fester and ruin my
happiness/productivity." The Hipster PDA would be perfect for this.

3. Process: Look through all of your emotions and decide which are
good and which are bad. The good emotions need no next step - throw
them away or file them (haha, yeah right). The bad ones need one more
step:

4. Resolution or next action: Write down how these emotions could be
resolved. For example, if I were processing "I'm incredibly pissed at
myself for failing that test," I'd write down, "It's ok. It's only one
test. I'll just study harder next time, and I'll be on top of the world
again."

5. If a bad emotion takes physical tasks to resolve, then add those
steps to your GTD inbox and process them as a normal task. For example,
maybe a feeling of guilt could be resolved by calling someone and
apologizing - or just talking to a person about your problem in
general. Or, maybe you're feeling lonely; schedule some time to spend
time with friends!

I have no idea if this will work, but it seems very logical to me.
The same idea applied to GTD also applies to this: get things out of
your head. Productivity and happiness? That's something I'd love to maintain on a regular basis. It's the GTD equivalent of a journal.

I have recently come up with a metadata markup system that evolved out of the “dash/plus” system that I use for action items in my Pocket Moleskine. I will try to describe it as best I can with text but it is better viewed so I have included a link to a picture:

- (Dash): Undone Action Item.

+ (Plus): Done Action Item.

<- (Right Arrow): Waiting - i.e. for another action).

-> (Left Arrow): Delegated (with a note to whom and the date).

^ (Triangle): Data Point.

O (Circle): A circle around any of the above means that it has been carried forward, moved to another list or otherwise changed status - i.e. a “Waiting” item has now become an Action Item elsewhere (with a note about where that item has gone).
