GTD and the creative life...possible?
kenzi | Mar 28 2006
Just getting started with GTD and what has me most excited is the possibility to get to my creative projects finally. I run my own business, plus have a full-time job to pay the bills. In addition to that I am spilling over with creative ideas for things I want to do, make, paint, etc. My schedule doens't really allow me the time to realize many of these projects, and they often get forgotten, or I forget to do the little steps that will help me realize them eventually, or when I do have free time I can't remember what projects I wanted to do. I am hoping that GTD, correctly applied, will help me keep track of all this, and hopefully organize my bill-paying lives so that I have time for the creative. Are there any artists or creative types (even wannabes) either full or part time who use GTD to help them toward their creative goals? What works for you in the system? Do you have to tweak it to make it fit the creative stuff, or can you just plug it all in together? 13 Comments

 For a writer, it isn't...Submitted by pooks on March 31, 2006 - 9:27am.
For a writer, it isn't even finished after it's sold. Editors keep tweaking and changing. For a screenwriter, not only is it not finished -- every actor, director, producer, craft services person thinks they've got a better line -- but you're likely to have another screenwriter (or three or five) come in and rewrite, every time somebody new comes on the project with a new vision. Oy. I'm depressing myself. Onward, Sisyphus! » POSTED IN:
