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

(kGTD, though, honestly I don't think I like it). There's your problem. (or at least part of it.) You don't like the system you're using, therefore you don't fully trust yourself to stick with it, therefore you can't really trust the out-of-your-head system, therefore it's all still just as much in your head as it was before, therefore there's no drop in anxiety. I realize that this doesn't really help, since it doesn't tell you what system *will* work for you, but I don't know what system works for you. A low-tech hPDA system works best for me-- even though I'm in a tech field and on the computer all day. But for GTD to work, you really need a system you like and are comfortable with. » POSTED IN:
