Hi everyone! I'm in my early twenties and just recently discovered GTD. As a source of inspiration from fellow GTDers I'd like to ask you all the following: How has GTD impacted your life? When you sit back to compare your life before adopting GTD and your life after implementing GTD, what impact have you noticed? Below I'll share the impact GTD has had on my life thus far.
After a constant influx of ideas never getting anywhere close to being accomplished, I realized I needed some structure to finally make progress in at least some of these ideas. On another hand, feeling behind on my responsibilities had resulted in procrastination and an overwhelming sensation.
This led to an ongoing search for the best productivity methods promoted throughout the internet. I'm so glad I stumbled upon the GTD methodology. Despite only being at the beginning stages of implementation, I can clearly see the difference it is making in my life as well as the potential impact it can have moving forward. Two weeks into installing and implementing GTD, I have gotten a lot more stuff done. Many of my projects are at least a step or two closer to the desired outcome, if not done. I am not feeling burnt out as I have in the past. I feel in the zone from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. Before knowing about GTD, I would just get in the zone maybe once a week and then feel burnt out for the next 3-4 days by all the mental energy used in one day.
By the way, I'm just 2 chapters into the GTD book, which I picked up this week. Read Chapter 3 is on my next actions list @home. Most of my GTD intake has come from the GTD videos found online, lurking on this forum, as well as the endless articles and blog posts explaining the core principles of GTD.
Without a doubt I'm enjoying much more mental clarity, the ability to appropriately engage with each task at hand, while also obtaining the ability to intuitively perceive whether my day to day actions are in sync with my goals, vision and life purpose. All of this truly helps me in simply, getting things done.
Please share your Before and After GTD life story. I would love to hear the impact GTD has had on your personal as well as professional life.
