GTD - so far, falling off the wagon & dilemmas dilemmas...
direwolf | Jul 30 2006
I know, unwieldy subject title but it encapsulates where I am now. Some of GTD is working well for me, some isn't [I should probably say, *I'm* not working well] but I've only known about it for a few months so I guess I'm still at the 'tweak & bed in' phase. What's working; email - both work & home email clients now have @Action, @Reference & @Waiting folders which I put to good use. home inbox - I've now got an established physical inbox for stuff that previously used to spread out around the place [bills, CDs for re-filing etc] What's not working; weekly review - keep forgetting to do it [!] collection tools / NA lists - went for the analogue 3x5 card approach but whilst they hold everything, they look a bit bad [handwriting isn't the best] and I tend to not carry them with me anymore [like to travel light]. So, there I am at the moment. Maybe I should reconsider using some sort of PDA for collection/diary but I really wanted to go for something that didn't crash / need recharging / need re-synching but we'll see. Any thoughts / encouragement appreciated! Thanks. 18 Comments

So, direwolf, how's it going? Still hanging in there? Getting better, thanks. My 'modded diary' is way better for me than carrying separate index cards. I've pencilled in weekly reviews each week for the rest of the year and have actually been doing them [which does make a big difference!]. I've been getting more into the habit of actually *looking* in my diary each day [I know, I know]. I still tend to leave it at home though but I usually have something on me that can be used for collection purposes [paper, mobile 'phone etc]. My implementation of GTD is pretty small-scale, I've not got that much to keep track of, and it's making me realise that one of my main sticking points is motivation to actually get things done, which is another problem altogether :rolleyes: » POSTED IN:
