Kelly | GTD expert
Hello Friends!
I hope you are all happy and thriving in your GTD practices.
I saw this great TEDTalk video and thought it would make a great 30-day Challenge for you guys.
http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_cutts_try_something_new_for_30_days (only 3 min long)
The idea is to pick one thing (or a few if you're feeling ambitious) that you want to focus on changing over the next 30 days. You could pick something to start or stop doing. I'm going to pick not using my smart phone during meals, to stay conscious and present with eating---and not random surfing.
If you want something GTD related, some ideas for daily practices could be:
--Inbox zero (or whatever number is a good target for you)
--Mind Sweep
--Cleaning something out
--Acknowledging at least one thing a day you're doing better than before with GTD
--Walking/stretching at least once an hour to take a break from your desk
etc.
You know I'm a fan of microscopic steps versus big sweeping changes. This is your game--so pick something where you can come out winning. Don't make it harder on yourself than you need to.
I'll check in periodically and let you know how mine is going. Please do the same. I'd love to hear from y'all!
BTW--life is good for me since heading out into the great unknown. Have done lots of travel (family trips, Nicaraguan surfing camp, London next week), and am now a photographer for our local paper. Still totally passionate about GTD and my systems--just have a whole lot less to process!
