Sunday GTD thoughts

30 January 2005 by Frank Meeuwsen

The last couple of weeks I have been extremely busy with a rather large internetproject at my company. As a projectmanager, I am responsible for a projectteam with a minimum of 4 people and a pool of people changing each week. This asks for a lot of energy and gives me little to no time to work on my GTD skills. Especially those in my personal life.This sunday, my girlfriend was out of town and I was home alone. No appointments, no mandatory to-do’s. So I decided to pick up a lot of little things that have been lying around the house. Reading magazine articles as old as november last year, checking some weblogs, listening to podcasts. But also fixing some stuff in and around the house, cleaning up. Right now I am lying at the couch, with my laptop. Just relaxing, chilling. I still have a lot of things to do in the house, but I am in the knowledge that they will get done. I did do the most urgent jobs, the rest will come in time. Did I use any software of lists? Well, not really. I just looked around the house, decided what to do and then just did it. Is this bad GTD? I’m not sure, since I did these tasks focusing on the outcome, thinking about what I want to accomplish and looked forward to the little rewards I would give myself when a task is finished (getting a nice sandwich, checking some online games, watching an old episode of The Apprentic. Yeah, my life is simple :-)) Maybe the whole GTD is not always following the right path the book describes, exactly doing what David tells you to do (brrrrr….) but it gives you some handles on how to look at the work that lies ahead. It sets the stage and lets you make the play. Something like that. How do you think about those subjects? Please let me know in the comments
