A strange side effect of GTD!

Recently, I decided to fully follow the GTD methodology (full post here), this time properly and on paper, using a Filofax. Until now, I had been making attempts, but not the right ones. No full implementation. The result was decent productivity, but not a truly empty mind, which is the real goal.


After doing the initial Mind Sweep and following GTD strictly for two weeks, I started experiencing a strange symptom. Extremely vivid dreams. More of them, and so vivid that some nights I wake up still feeling them. Not nightmares, just very intense dreams. Possibly because there’s now more “space” in my mind.


Has anyone else experienced this?
