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

 Moving to Someday/MaybeSubmitted by Flexiblefine on June 14, 2006 - 1:19pm.

Things that maybe I really ought to do, but realistically, I ain't gonna, at least not now. Moving things to Someday/Maybe doesn't come to me as naturally as it should. I do remember, every couple of months, that I can do that as a way to trim down my lists. I should be more merciless about it, though -- I think I've read some people's stories about moving everything to S/M that isn't going to be done within a week. I probably wouldn't go that far. I'm glad the Word doc idea is working for you. It's just so simple and seemingly obvious now that you're using it, right? I've been having similar thoughts about organizing my time, moving things around so I can generate and maintain some productive momentum each day. I can easily waste hours and hours online, with RSS feeds, e-mail lists, forums, following links from all of those, and random-surfing Wikipedia.
