Not GTD really, but, input from y'aLL would be appreciated...
In thread below, Moises made the excellent point that it can pay off in many ways to make your business function as excellently as you are abl, even if you are not really wild about the business.
I am wondering if members of this community might have any suggestions for ways that one can do this in this situation. Among other things, I work in a family business and know the values and intentions of "the management" are excellent but they are facing personal and professional challenges. But, they are respected in their field and they always have landed on their feet. I feel under-recognized for the routine drudgery. I am a poor choice for the roles I am in (e.g., the position is isolating and the atmosphere unstimulating in that I thrive on interaction and new ideas, but have to work alone for about 6 hours a day), but it is me or no one. Before I can hold a conversation on a topic of concern I practically have to write a short grant proposal (specific aims, resources, plans, options). Further, any responsibility I take on will remain mine until we can afford more personel. And, the schedule for key events changes without notice! Talk about having to "ready for anything". The part I am involved in is really a start-up and it may do well and I love its mission and product. I do want to function with excellence in this role and be able to say "I accomplished x,y, and z..". I really feel that if I can manage the routine tasks, then I can move on my projects, including getting a clear handle on the resources available (accounts, materials on hand, etc.) , that I can reach my objectives. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
