Hi!
I'm Jean-François from Montreal Québec Canada, francophone, father of three, elementary school music teacher and GTD super enthusiast. PLeased to meet you!
I discovered GTD 15 years ago or so. Though I could see how I could benefit from it and tried to apply it the best I could, I encountered certain limits: globally I was pretty adept at generating projects, someday maybes and stuff, but less prone to actually getting more done than I would have pre-GTD.
Now a few years later, few week back,, I felt overwhelmed about my workload and responsibilities. Got the GTD setup pdf from the GTD store (which I liked a lot) and rebooted my system. And then, ZANG! I don't know precisely what happened/ what changed during those years, but now I get effectiveness results I could'nt have hoped for. I'm amazed. This stuff works big time.
There is something I would like to handle more gracefully, though: "managing deadlines". I don't feel like priorising anything, as I rather spend my time doing stuff that pondering comparative project importance, but I'd like to find an efficient way to "get ready for project delivery". As a music teacher, sometimes preparation involve some kind of repeatable practice por myself and other.
If I put stakes in the ground of my agenda, it crowds it pretty fast (concert in two weeks/ evaluations due of the x of x). Yeah of course I do weekly reviews, but I feel I have too many projects going to keep a sense of priorities. I do little daily reviews, but I fear it would get prettu heavy if I looked at my projects every day.
Gotta go! Thanks for reading, ciao!
