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

 Good to see you are...Submitted by randellt on August 25, 2006 - 7:11am.
Good to see you are fighting the good fight. Keep with it. It's funny and sad at the same time how easy it is to just forget to look into your system regularly when the very thing that increases your anxiety level is not looking in your system regularly. I'm pretty bad at that too. My whole-system re-org will include triggers (probably well timed SMS messages) to nudge me with a "Have you checked your system lately?" message. Not sure if that will be the reminder/motivator that will work for me, but I too need my system to wake up and remind me to use it. » POSTED IN:
