Best comments roundup for 30th August 2007.
Though the original post was about about my thoughts on healthy eating, Insidemybrain makes a good point about needing to be motivated. You personally need to want it in the first place.
Insidemybrain: “It helped me to define a concrete goal to reach. I told myself ‘I’ll eat at least 3 different kinds of fruit every single day.’ The first day I was stuck with apples and chocolate, but missing my goal on the very first day made me so angry that I have not forgotten to buy enough fruit since.”
This month also saw Organize IT’s first birthday and I did a three part interview to celebrate the occasion. Rue left some good comments on the various topics covered:
Rue: “..it was realizing that GTD was a guideline, NOT a prescription. I use a great deal of it, but because of the nature of my work (I’m an academic) I have made changes to make it function better. And that’s ok.”
Remember the 9 questions I suggested you consider when developing your GTD system from a few weeks back? Rolf of Evomend made some great points.
Rolf: “If you choose heavyweight, how much of the ceremony could you impose on others? A heavyweight system may work for a freelancer who doesn’t join a customer’s team, eg since I’m collaborating a lot with such teams however, it’s mostly them who impose their system on me, so mine needs to be lightweight.”
