New GTDer: A wall is there
fade | Aug 11 2006
Okay. .... Now, I'm sitting here looking at all of this. And nothing's changed. I still feel anxious. I know D. Allen said looking at your lists will foster anxiety, and it sure has. I feel as bad as before. It's still at the point where I can't actually do any of the next actions. I look at them and go, "Pbbbbbbbbt." I can't get motivated. Why? I want to see the end product. I want to get things done. I want to be the best. It's like I need a swift kick in the ass. I know I can't be the only one who has experienced this. Minuteur helps, but then I feel forced and uncreative. Any suggestions? I feel poised to begin the race, but I'm glued to the starting blocks. 7 Comments

Many items that end up on my action lists are really mini-projects or things that need something else done before I can get to them. That "something else" is really the next action, but that doesn't always leap to mind. This is one of my biggest obstacles, too. I'd bet half to 2/3 of my "actions" list is really projects right now. This week, I've been lucky to just to capture things in any way as they come in, let alone actually categorize them correctly. I'm feeling very "white belt" GTD this week... » POSTED IN:
