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

Word docs and web stuffSubmitted by Flexiblefine on June 15, 2006 - 2:06pm.

[I'm lazy... if you don't post it, don't worry, I'll dig it up!!] ;) I think calling it a "trick" is overstating the situation. I keep my NA lists in a Word document, printed on the front and back of a single page, for easy access and carrying. Try http://board.43folders.com/showthread.php?t=206 for more info, including a print-preview screenshot. Maybe Sonia can hack up a screenshot or photo to show us how her document has evolved? :) (And maybe one day I'll actually collect my various GTD stories together and post them in one place, instead of having to scour forums for them. Maybe.) Quote: Second: Flexible- you deserve a hearty "AMEN" to that last post, man. hours and hours lost online. I couldn't agree with you more. If you're prone to long web-surfing binges and similar things, are you prone to the same kind of hyper-focus on work? If so, you might even be able to use it to your advantage. See http://www.procrastinators-anonymous.org/node/11 for a little more on time bingeing. (Not my site -- I'm just a member there too.) Quote: I felt kinda shoddy not giving the link here, so I'm gonna do so now: http://http-server.carleton.ca/~tpychyl/index.html Or http://www.procrastination.ca/ goes to the same place. » POSTED IN:
