Mowing down the weeds
I am a happy GTD adopter, but sometimes I get “lost in the weeds”.
With all the emphasis on getting the steps done, I can lose track of where I am going and why. I get a lot done, but sometimes it is the low-pri stuff. It all evens out in the end, so long as I take the time to do a weekly project round-up, as suggested by the GTD method. However, with all the excitement surrounding the launch of my new company, and with everyone in my household being ill at the same time, I’ve skipped a couple weeks of this vital step.
Perhaps that’s why this article at 43Folders felt so on-target for me. It has a deceptively simple point, that anything which makes you more self-aware makes you more likely to hit your goals. I particularly liked the summary bullet points:
- action almost always trumps inaction
- planning is crucial; even if you donÇt follow a given plan
- things are easier to do when you understand why you’re doing them
- your brain likes it when you make things as simple as possible
