Do you 'projectify' your personal issues?
kenzi | Apr 25 2006
Sorry for so many questions so often...I have no one else to bounce these questions off of so you are my victims. What do you all do about open loops that don't really fit the project mold, specifically personal things like "learn to be more compassionate" or "improve my relationship with my stepdaughter"? These are the kinds of issues that crop up us as human beings and which often have a lot of open loops. I feel like I still have open loops and they mostly have to do with these personal issues. Do any of you make projects with NAs and the whole thing for these things? How does that work and do you find that you are more successful because of making it part of GTD? 11 Comments

Unless its something personal such as "get flab off of stomach" I wouldn't put things like "get in touch with my inner sparrow" or "be more zen-like, dammit!" It just doesn't make sense to me. As far as I can tell these "metaphysical" activities do not follow the same paths and may ignore NAs. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, to me, GTD seems to work great for concrete things but when you venture into the realm of the unmeasurable it sort of breaks down. I mean, what's the next action for becoming more humble, other than thinking about bettering yourself and being mindful (ack, I'm Merlin) about things. :) I guess for me it wouldn't work. Your mileage, as they say, will vary I suppose. Daniel » POSTED IN:
