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

I guess my question is how to close those loops of thought. Maybe being more humble doesn't have obvious NAs, but you could have things like "read a lot of articles about people whose lives suck". But something like my example of "improve relationship with stepdaughter" could have NAs like "make time for her after school", "go to piano recital", "listen to more White Stripes and Coldplay". I just wonder if anyone does this and if it helps close open loops for you. » POSTED IN:
