GTD for the new year

Hi All!
Hope you're enjoying the end of the year holidays. A general question, does anyone use GTD to plan the next year, something like doing a mega-yearly review? Do you use this opportunity to incorporate items of the someday/maybe list? What's your balance of this year using GTD? Any resolutions?

Wishing you the best for 2006!

Laura

I have a new system...

I have a new system I'm going to trot out for projects & NAs, but let's face it, that is more self-indulgence than virtuous new year's self reflection.

My GTD path is too incremental to really make massive new year's overhauls. I like the quarterly review idea, but I think even that might be too infrequent for me. I had a "list of 2005 goals & intentions" page in my project notebook, and I don't think I actually *looked* at it more than two or three times. Those big goals just make me glaze over. I seem to do better with "what am I going to focus on this week." I could use a better process for checking in on all the moving pieces of my life & assigning myself tasks for the neglected bits.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
