Tidbits!
I used to think GTD was a house made of bricks, very rigid, very dogmatic.. However, the more I utilize Connect, the forums, the pod/vidcasts...I feel it's just a great philosophy with a couple poles in the sand with a hammock tied between. The philosophy is simple and the way you implement it malleable to you. It becomes easier and easier for me to espouse the great benefits of GTD these days than it ever has been.
I had the belief that the weekly review was not just a time of reflection but a time to corral _everything_ back to order. Noooo! Meg tells us to schedule yourself to get through backlog, don't waste or hijack this time. This time is important for what it is.
As well I'd get lost with all my little 2m things, and before I knew it a lot of time was gone and I still wasn't complete with my review. It's like a 'duh' now to be discretionary with my time, but sometimes you need to be told things. I like the idea of making a quick attack list so when I'm done with my review I can just annihilate a list. Once you start things you tend to get sidetracked this avoids that.
Not really lastly but last I'll note, look back and forward in time. Do you have enough time, do you have the resources, are you still committed? Are you still committed is very important because you really need to gravitate things to the safety (sanity?) of Someday/Maybe. I used to be timid or very long-termish about what went in SD/M, and lately I've opened up to putting anything I am not wanting to think on today/this week/this month in there and just checking through it regularly to pull things back out.
Anyhow, not really saying much the vets will find new, but some of this was very good for me. Meg, you really showed me how flexible this was intended on being and again hammering in the idea that just because David does it this way you do it the way it works for you. Your time, your effort, you. So thanks for putting this together and I hope to hear more from you all in the future.
