Time to Get Things Done.
Monday, April 23, 2007
You've got your GTD system up & running - collecting, processing, organising and reviewing. All that's left is to actually start doing something. This unfortunately is the place many people get to then begin to tail off. It's no good having your lists of projects and next actions arranged by context if you don't begin to start doing them. Infact after the initial collecting and processing people can get overwhelmed by all the things they feel they must do - those project and next action lists can seem daunting. GTD tells us what needs to be done, but won't do it for us.
In the next series of posts I will explore areas where I have struggled to start producing - and the ideas / processes I employed to start working effectively and productively through my projects and next actions.
That's very true...getting all in to one place is difficult but actually doing your stuff is another. Recently that's my problem too. I try to keep my stuff current but I just can't force myself to do it. I think that GTD process is not completed until you do the thing.
