Just to be clear, do you believe that daily processing time - zero-ing IN is more important than the Weekly Review?
topshelf:
With all due respect . . . Armed Forces? If so, thank you for your service
On this end . . . a firm believer in "Do . . .
What You Can,
When You Can,
While You Can" whatever the concern might be . . . unless something else needs to be done . . . including any '
Weekly Review' Processing components
The '
Weekly Review' is for a State of Being relative to one's external brain GTD System in order to be: Clear, Current, and Creative that needs to be done
at least once a Week in order to have one's GTD systems operational.
If there is something 'there' that can be Processed . . . then it is either Processed or
it will be Processed during the '
Weekly Review' at 11:33:22 or it won't because it was already
Ad Hoc/randomly done because on this end of GTD system maintenance . . . the mantra is: "Do . . .
What You Can,
When You Can,
While You Can" for everything including
any of the Processing components of the '
Weekly Review' in order to be Clear, Current, and Creative. While the sequence in doing '
Weekly Review' has much seasoned merit, perhaps it could also be understood as a Check-List to make sure nothing false between to cracks for worthwhile certainty that the '
Weekly Review' has been completed . . . huge!
As such, find understanding GTD as a 'Handbook of PRINCIPLES' much more helpful than understanding GTD as a "How To Manual" which, to make the point, would deem as a sabotaging much of what GTD
really has to offer.
For instance the Tickler-File is a useful 'Operational Tool' for what dealing with unknown decision regarding inevitable realties. As, while GTD shows one
how to set up a Tickler-File, it is outside the realm of GTD to limit anyone's Particular deployment of the Tickler-File . . . as long as it's keeping one's mind is clear as water then all is good.
While open to any and all GTD corrections . . . GTD is like an instrument/guard rails/methodology that one might want to use to fulfill the Concerns [and perhaps obligations] one has as calmly/peacefully as possible and as such all are encouraged to play this instrument
as they rhythmically see fit?
Perhaps another way to express GTD is a set of
Objective Principles to be
Subjectively Applied according to one's
Subjective Standards?
For instance, on this end five general
Areas-of-
Focus inboxes to the single general inbox. Does that mean: "bad GTDer . . . very, very bad GTDer . . . no more GTD for you" ? What colors? . . . "Worse GTDer than previously thought . . . bad GTDer . . . very, very bad GTDer" . . . "No wait . . . please wait . . . remembering 'colors' were mentioned somewhere in GTD." "Oh yeah . . . tell it to the GTD Judge . . . until then . . . no more GTD for you . . . GTD Rules are GTD Rules"
For the reason(s) above, perhaps it could be said for that and for many other reasons as to why GTD falls very short and greatly disappoints in being cult? Cults
always have a 'kick-out' mechanism?
Agree . . . disagree . . . more clarification requested?
All good and please without any 'walking on egg shells'
GTD thank you and peace
