Change of life : what is the best fresh start ever ?
Jean-Rémy Duboc | Mar 14 2008
Hi guys, I'm about to quit my job (today is my last day at the office), to finish my degree in Computer Science. I'd like to take that opportunity to make a fresh start in my GTD system, my working habits, and my life in general. Here's my question : what is the single new habit you took that dramatically changed your way of doing things, in work and in life ? I'm not looking for a silver bullet here, just someting easy that gets me on the right track for that new route in life I'm taking. Thanks in advance, 8 Comments

I feel one of the best things anyone can do for themselves is have a regular review schedule (at least once a week or more). I might need someone to help cite, but I thought I had read somewhere that the review is the one piece that people have trouble with. Although the rest of "system" is important (especially the "do" part), it is my opinion that if you really want to commit to GTD methodology and (more importantly) you life goals. You have to review where you are and where you are headed. Breakdown: Collection: What good is collecting if you don't look at it after you've collected it? Process: Are you sure this the right thing to do with this stuff? Organize: Did you place that tasks or reference in the best place? Is it time that you did something about that one project you've put off? Do: What are you doing? Is it really what you want to do? I understand that you can get stuck reviewing things forever and that the end result of all of our actions should be to actually do something, but (to say my point again) reviewing is one of the most important things to change my life. » POSTED IN:
