In the thread “Is goal setting bad for you?” ( http://www.davidco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=728 ) I said that I was trying to find creative fulfilment in the time of the week that is left after I have done my day job.
This means trying to get a little writing done over lunch, either in the local park or in a nearby coffee shop, or else at home in the evening, or even an early morning slot before the office opens.
I think Andrew (Andmor) best describes the “bookmark” feature of GTD in several posts. My question is: what is the full power of this bookmarking feature? Has anyone experienced the radical shift that I would try to achieve at 1 p.m. when I might, for example, want to step away from preparing a report on the valuation of a car dealership, so that I can pick up a writing pad and continue writing a short story or poem?
My usual approach to writing is to “manage” my mood, either through music or through reading. In this way I can enter my “inner writing room” and glide into the work quite easily.
But in the in the panicky pre-work morning, or the hectic midday, or the frazzled evening time, this kind of mood management is often very difficult to achieve. Is GTD “bookmarking” powerful enough to achieve the necessary quick change?
I will try it myself and see.
Thanks
