Getting Things Done (again)

May 5, 2016

I just searched my own blog for references to David Allen’s Getting Things Done, to see when I discovered it.  The earliest reference was from 2006, so it has been at least 10 years.  However, I have definitely had periods of greater (and lesser) adherence to his system.

I had actually sort of forgotten about it in recent years, but came across this post from one of my favorite eye-candy bullet journaling instas — @boho.berry.  And I’m BACK, baby!  With a vengeance.  Like my instagramming inspiration, I believe that I can (and should) develop a GTD system of my own using mostly paper.  Today I have an administrative half-day, and in addition to some other work, I am going to organize the ($*&@ out of my work projects and duties.  I am listening to the updated version of GTD and am all fired up about Next Actions and Reviews and Someday/Maybe already.

I will of course share more later 🙂  Off to run!

PS: May goals were going great until yesterday when I was hit with a wave of “sooooo tired” (namely because poor C woke up again Tuesday night).  But he slept through last night (yay!) so hopefully things are looking up!

    Yay, an updated version! Gone and downloaded an Auduble version:-) BTW, I’ve also found his Making it All Work book an interesting read.

    I like his chapter on how to run a meeting. Do not have a meeting without an agenda and do not leave a meeting without action items!

    Dan is a big an of GTD – he started using it in grad school and for a long time. The software developing world has a different way of tracing to do lists and projects called a Kanban board (I’m sure you’ve seen the big bulletin board they use on Silicon Valley). He’s since adopted this for work but still has his personal email and calendar organized in a GTD way.
    The best is that he initiated a Kanban-light board for our home. I will take a pic and post on instagram and tag you. You will love it. We have it hanging in my office.

    I tried but it never worked for me. I spend too much time getting the system up and running. I realized my To do list style is very "Bullet Journal" like when you posted about it!
