Got up early today after a sleepy Sunday yesterday. It seemed like I never fully woke up the whole day. L was even concerned and ask if I was ok. This morning though I woke quite early and couldn’t go back to sleep so I got up and got a cup of coffee and started reading ‘Making it all work’ by David Allen.
I have been reading about gtd for a long time. And tried several times to implement it into my daily life with little success. I know the system works if only I could find an implementation that is natural to me. I liked the paper organizer a long time ago and it worked for me for a while. But the technology grabbed my attention and I found it much easier to enter stuff into a computer than writing it down on paper. However, I don’t always have Access to a computer at my fingertips. Even now typing this on my iPhone is a pain with my long fingernail. Ugggg. So I got out of the practice of capturing thoughts as they come up and things get out of whack pretty quickly. And I’m off the gtd wagon.
There has to be a way to easily capture inputs on the go into a central place to be processed regularly. And there needs to be a way to combine the papers and the electronic input in a related manner so I can cross reference them easily.
Being organized is the goal. And I’m still trying to figure out a way to get there.
