When I was at Dell, I took this course wherein they applied the whole GTD thing to Microsoft’s Outlook. I use Day One Classic (on my iOS devices) and Life Journal (on my Windows PC) to help me with this. This leads to clarity of mind, and a capture of actions that would otherwise slip through the cracks. The reflective brain dump is a useful process as part of getting things done and I use my journal as a mechanism to reflect on the day and to identify things that I need to get done – and things I have achieved. One of the other things that I do, and recommend to everyone, is to maintain a journal to complement your productivity workflow. Alright – if you don’t own a smart phone, you might want to get one – you can thank me later. But it seemed primitive to me in today’s world where we are always connected, always online, always digitally enabled. The book talks about using cards and folders to manage the system. Where the deep (oh so sweet) satisfaction of checking off things spurs greater productivity.īut for the longest time, I struggled with this – from an implementation standpoint. Where things are never too big because you can create projects and break them down into manageable tasks. Where the context of the task is just as important as the task itself.
Where things are not lurking at the back of your mind at all times – but are filed in some reliable and accessible system where you can get back to them and address them. I like the whole concept of mind-as-water. I am one of those people that bought into the whole GTD (based on the bestselling book Getting Things Done by David Allen) thing.
