Hello
I have realised two reasons why GTD hasn't been working well for me:
1. I read very slowly
This means that all the frequent reviewing and scanning of task is both painful and takes too long. And so I find myself profoundly resistant to reviews.
2. 'Resistence Creep'
I don't know the technical term, but after every single time I even think about doing at task and DON'T execute it, the psychological resistance of that task goes up. And up. And UP. And pretty soon I have a whole bank of tasks that have all become massively high resistance. And for no good reason whatsoever!
My latest approach has been to not even look at a large swaith of tasks for fear of increasing their resistance for no good reason.
Furthermore I find it really hard to get a proper handle on what is important for my goals. In fact "reviewing my goals" has been on my list for a several days now, and even that has become high resistance! [Ironic or what?!]
Any thoughts?
