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.
We all know that GTD is a very popular system for those wanting to get a grip of their workflow and productivity levels. However, like most things it has its negative qualities; features and aspects that don’t work as intended or simply aren’t practical for the average person to use. It’s got me thinking about what I don’t like about GTD, what doesn’t work for me and what I just simply disagree on. I’m going to dedicate an entire post detailing my thoughts on this in the near future. In the meantime, I want to throw this issue out to you all. I’d love to hear what your GTD complaints are. I’m really looking forward to reading your comments on this as it’s potential goldmine of information, so whether you regularly comment or are a first time visitor…. share your thoughts!
Welcome to another post in the self-help myths series! This time I will take a look at the comfort zone, which is the collection of areas, thoughts, attitudes and environments in your personal, social and work lives that you have become accustomed to. To stray away from these would cause varying degrees of anxiety, which can hold you back. A great many self-help guides state that expanding your comfort zone is the key to achieving your dreams. The more new things you do the bigger your comfort zone becomes, right? Wrong!
I’m currently compiling some big updates to my most popular content that I will publish over the next two weeks, namely my list of GTD blogs and my productivity templates. If anyone has any link suggestions, or feedback on my templates then please let me know!
If you ever feel groggy in the morning and need an healthy way of waking yourself up that doesn’t involve caffeine, Scott Young has seven suggestions to help you. One tip I would add is to drink some water as soon as you wake up because you will be so dehydrated, and that will help your head to feel better.
Lifehack.org has a very considerable fifty tricks to get things done. It’s a great article to check out because it pretty much sums up all the productivity tips and tools that are out there right now.
Do you struggle with perfectionism? It’s all about distinguishing between good enough and perfect. If your time is precious, it can be a tough balancing act. David Finch writes more on this topic on his blog.
