GTD for Working Parents
Bookworm | Jan 18 2006
I was going to jump in on the GTD for Homemakers thread, but thought perhaps this warranted a thread of its own. I'm trying to implement GTD principles at work and at home. At work, I'm at my computer most of the time, so can use Outlook and Bonsai to track my Next Actions, appointments, etc. At home, I must figure out a way to at least look at my Next Actions/projects/tickler file every day (which is buried in the closet at the moment), but it's hard to find the time. I might be "on the clock" with my 20 month old daughter from the minute I walk through the door until I collapse with exhaustion hours later. We're having "sleep issues" at the moment. (Let me just say in passing that I adore her.) Anyone else in the same boat? How do you handle the transition from work to home? How do you find time to "capture" everything that needs to be written down? When do you do your weekly review? Am I the only one that's always sending out birthday cards late? 3 Comments

I do most of my Home stuff at work, during my lunch hour. I am a single mother to extremely active 8 year old and by the time we are done with all of his activities, homework, etc. I'm exhausted. I keep as much information / materials with me all the time so I can do what I need to when I have the chance. I try to keep my computer programs as web-based as possible so I can get to what I need when I need it. If I can only do a task at home it's less likely to get done in a timely manner.
