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 think you're on the right track. In my Someday/Maybes, I have a category called "Focus Areas." It's a bunch of things that I'm continually trying to do, like "Get more young people involved at church." (It's difficult!!!) But the way I've put that into action is by calling a bunch of people up asking them to do X. (And then I do it all over again next month.) Now if only I could find the resolve to tend to the "Health Goals" category, which actually has potential next actions on it, like "Find a workout buddy." » POSTED IN:
