Help me stick to it
Nik_Doof | May 25 2006
I flout my GTD, all the time. I'm currently having real difficulties following my GTD routine and because of this i'm letting things slip. I've recently been getting home from work and not doing anything at all, flouting my next actions and deciding what to do there and then (which usually involves playing games or watching TV). Today i'm sat in work and i don't even have a copy of my NA's or my moleskine to hand, i've left them abandoned at home in my bag. I love GTD but i'm having great difficulty applying myself to it. Has anyone got any suggestions which may help me stick to my routine? 34 Comments

I've been using daily task lists to help get around some of my procrastination problems. I spend most of my work day in my office, so I have lots of possible NAs to choose -- which leads to perfectionist paralysis. (Which action is that absolute best one to choose? Could be this one, could be that one, could be another one... and no doing happens.) I have a similar problem, which daily task lists don't entirely solve. My time is mostly discretionary, except for urgent short interruptions that are needed now. I do fine with the tasks that must be done today, which I've been putting on a daily task list. The problem is all the others, and there are many. They're all next actions that need to be done, though not on any particular day. They belong to a wide range of responsibility areas. Should I work on my keynote speech for the conference in July, finish the wedding registry, follow up on the prescription assistance application, update my art website, or take a chunk out of my current indexing job? I think the answer is that I need to do all of them, and maybe I can if I'm efficient. But it's still hard to pick. Any suggestions? Do Mi » POSTED IN:
