Hi all!
I'm a lurker of about 7 months standing, and have been slowly implementing GTD both at home and at work. I reckon I'm just moving from White Belt to Green belt status (my e-mail in-box has been empty three weeks running, and I went on holiday knowing what was happening/not happening in all my important loops). I'm definitely a GTD convert!
Now the problem: I have a large pile of stuff to file at home that has been accumulating over several years in a couple of boxes. I haven't worked out yet what is the hang-up that stops me doing it, but now of course it's so big I just look at it and freak out.
What I'd appreciate is thoughts on how to make it happen. Some of the stuff is so old that I think I'd better start by "re - processing" the lot, on the basis that I can probably throw out quite a bit. I'll have my labeller and some storage at the ready, and I guess I've got to set aside some time to do it.
Any other tips to overcome this "filing block" would be most welcome.
Ruth
