GET-R-DONE
joelus rated 19 months ago
From the page: "Stuff is bouncing around in our heads and causing untold stress and anxiety. Evaluation meetings, bar mitzvahs, empty rolls of toilet paper, broken lawn mowers, college applications, your big gut, tooth decay, dirty underwear and imminent jury duty all compete for prime attention in our poor, addled brains. Stuff has no 'home' and, consequently, no place to go, so it just keeps rattling around. Worst off, we're too neurotic to stop thinking about it, and we certainly don't have time to actually do everything in one day. Jeez Louise, what the hell am I, Superman? So you sprint from fire to fire, praying you haven%u2019t forgotten anything, sapped of anything like creativity or even the basic human flexibility to adapt your own schedule to the needs of your friends, your family or yourself. Your 'stuff' has taken over your brain like a virus now, dragging down every process it touches and rendering you spent and virtually useless. Sound familiar?"

Another Great "GTD" site. Here is the nugget.

From the page: "So how does GTD work?

This is a really summarized version, but here it is, PowerPoint-style:

1. identify all the stuff in your life that isn't in the right place (close all open loops)
2. get rid of the stuff that isn't yours or you don't need right now
3. create a right place that you trust and that supports your working style and values
4. put your stuff in the right place, consistently
5. do your stuff in a way that honors your time, your energy, and the context of any given moment
6. iterate and refactor mercilessly"

Ultimately, "Getting Things Done" just sounds like too much work.

Basic overview of David Allen's 'Getting Things Done' methodology. I've recently started using this in my own life, with great success. I highly recommend his book too.

I think Getting Things Done appeals to geeks for a lot of reasons. Overgeneralizing for effect: * geeks are often disorganized or have a twisted skein of attention-deficit issues * geeks love assessing, classifying, and defining the objects in their world * geeks crave actionable items and roll their eyes at "mission statements" and lofty management patois * geeks like things that work with technology-agnostic and lofi tools * geeks like frameworks but tend to ignore rules * geeks are unusually open to change (if it can be demonstrated to work better than what they're currently using) * geeks like fixing things on their own terms * geeks have too many projects and lots and lots of stuff

"Iâ€ll be talking a lot here in coming weeks about Getting Things Done, a book by David Allen whose apt subtitle is â€oeThe Art of Stress-Free Productivity.â€
