Hello All,
I am hoping that someone out there is able to help with a little bit of reflection on not only the weekly review but on coming to "granular" in the details in regards to GTD. I have been working with GTD for some time but still consider myself somewhat of a beginner. Being stuck at home through all of this pandemic has given me time to re read David's book as well as some of his other books and I am becoming revitalized in the GTD process. I've always been a person is prided myself in dotting my I's and crossing my T's however along with the freedom that GTD produces i often times find myself wanting to continually "sharp in the pencil". I have found that this can stifle stifle the GTD method and as well, promote walking down the road of " perfection". I keep a in my head that a quote "perfect as the enemy of good" and I try to rein myself in but when getting wins with GTD process it fosters a continual desire for more " wins" which then further exacerbates the desire for " clean edges" in all regards.. Which intellectually I know is impossible but emotionally hard to let go of. I am hoping that this makes sense and I am wondering if anyone else has had experience with this and how they keep a perspective and balance in not becoming so detailed within the GTD process that the process itself can become something that in turn dulls the GTD process in its entirety. Thanks for listening and I appreciate any contributions anyone could make.
