Organize IT recap for 22nd February 2008

  • If you haven’t already contibuted to my post asking what you don’t like about GTD, then please do so, I’d really appreciate it! So far a common theme coming out of it is the complexity and difficulty of implementing GTD out of the box. Do you agree?
  • While I’m on the topic of what people don’t like about GTD, the Success Making Machine blog has a post looking at some of those very issues, including its complexity and weak focus on life management.
  • LifeClever has an idea called the prep card. I’ve lost track of all the meetings and interviews I’ve had where I’d go in all motivated to stand up for myself and then a tricky question would come up and I’d completely forget about all my preperations. This prep card idea is definately useful, though I think it’s scope can definately be extended to other areas.
  • This Cracked article about five common body myths your mom told you may be jokey but it’s something I can relate to, especially the one about cold weather. My mom still tells me that one! Have any of you guys come across other body myths your parents told you?
  • Leo from over at Zen Habits has released a new e-book. Here I am struggling away on my first one and he’s already done his second ;) If you are a fan of his work or admire the incredible rise of his blog you can buy his book here.

Thanks for reading!

Hi James. I recently wrote an article and some of the comments also talked about the shortcoming of GTD that Success Making Machine talked about. My opinion is that GTD helps to manage things in life, but it might be asking too much to have GTD go further than that.
