GTD in physical space: how good are you?
msanford | Jun 23 2007
I was wondering if those who rigorously implement GTD in their work also have a clean work environment. From your perspective, are they simply co-incidental, or does one support or cause the other? I try to implement GTD (as far as I have been able to read thus far) but I have a somewhat messy apartment (though my office, where I do most of my work and receive students, is pristine). I see an interesting parallel between those who say "I have a system that works" both for GTD and for a messy space. Thoughts? 9 Comments

As an addition/progress report: as a sessional, I don't have a (university) office during the summer, so my home office has been overloaded in the interim. I recently discovered that I have access to a storage facility as part of my rent, so half of my office is now in a dank basement and not in my face. I feel much better about it. I have some more elbow room, and the cleaner my office gets the more I want to clean and the better I feel about doing it. I can also remove "GTD" from my desk, as I have bought the audiobook (GTD-Fast), I'll be listening to it on my upcoming fishing trip...away from work. This will lead to another thread. » POSTED IN:
