I haven't formally incorporated GTD...Submitted by sabreuse on December 30, 2005 - 7:42am.
I haven't formally incorporated GTD into my New Year's navelgaze, but it does seem like a natural fit with the yearly review instinct that I'm prone to at this time of year. As for resolutions, I haven't done them at the new year for the last few years -- I do them quarterly instead, which I find helps me set smaller and more concrete goals (no vaguely-defined "eat better"), but still gives me enough time to build habits, which is always a much slower process for me than the 21 days some unnamed expert is always quoted as saying. I started doing it this way several years before I'd heard of either GTD or Discardia, but it fits very well with both of them. GTD itself was last quarter's resolution -- or rather, really writing everything down was, and we all know where that leads. For the next quarter, I'd like to take what I've managed so far (roughly, getting on top of things) and use it to move a step closer to the kind of balanced life I've always had a hard time managing in between the overwhelm. And to get more sleep. Still trying to figure out the next actions, especially on that last one ;) Happy New Year, all! » POSTED IN:
