What is the better example for capturing ideas in theory for health/productivity? (

[Mrs-Polifax]

@TimBourne

Hi, Tim. I think what Oogiem says is true. People are telling you what they themselves do and what they believe might help you, but your experience may differ from their experience. There is NO right or wrong way to do GTD. You can try doing things their way, but the right way for you might differ from the right way for them. If something appeals to you, try doing things that way, and see how it works for you. This is like an experimental lab. We get to try things and see what happens.

 

[Mrs-Polifax]

In that case my apologies for being uninformed.

This involves an earlier situation that you are not responsible to know about. The main take away for me about that situation is that this forum is not intended to be a support group for health or other challenges of life. It is intended to be a pleasant space where interested people can enjoy sharing and learning specifically about GTD and productivity. Please feel welcome here!

 

[Mrs-Polifax]

The OP started with "Does it make sense:" No, sorry guys, this thread to me does not make any sense at all. I'm not following what TimBourne and gtdstudente are talking about. Maybe it's just me?

No, it is not just you, @bobusa. Your honesty about this is refreshing. I also find the discussion difficult or impossible to follow, and I get impatient with that at times, which is an unfortunate but human response to my confusion. The OP has neurological difficulties that make it diffcult for him to communicate clearly, so it is a challenge for him and for us. I admire @TimBourne's continued attempts to learn and apply GTD despite this challenge. The support of the GTD community has been outstanding.

 

[TimBourne]

Yes

Correct, or the ones I think need more clarification

ok

NO

was thinking - do I find this the same as yourself

The one that I can't fall asleepinless I deal with them.

Your able - to notice when specific ideas, keep you up, can't fall asleep?

but what about the idea- reason why person can't fall or get to sleep is because physical being uncomfortable? "

You seem to often make mountains out of molehills. Take another person's views as inputs not gospel and I think you will have a better outcome. As I said the entire exchange was base don MY experience. Whihc is, by definition, NOT your experience. Take what you find usefull and trash the rest.

As someone with poor memory, due to disability and neurodivergence, I regularly empty my thoughts throughout the day. I occasionally do a mind sweep several hours before sleep, or else these thoughts keep me awake. I process verbally, so often use Dragon speech to text to capture these things. I use it for similar reasons for reflective and reflexive practice.

What mental issue do you have?

What mental issue do you have?

Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Fibromyalgia (which includes chronic health conditions- diabetes and IBS). I screened as being likely as being autistic, confirmed when I asked a friend who tests. Anxiety and depression too.

Yes, I pop them in a mind map.

Because my mind races thinking anxiously. If it is not my blood sugars dropping then it's just anxiety.

Sorry to see that, I empathise from my experience. I also support disabled folks in work.

Should I also do that?

Only if you want to explore it. It's just having one place (document or paper or something) that you capture on and review .

I don't - my blood sugar is maintained by diet

That is lucky, my diabetes makes mine more challenging to manage.

Im not sure should I also try to use that?

see if it helps you to speak using a freebie.
There's Dictate in Microsoft Office
Siri for apple
Google Voice Typing in Google Docs.
In employment/ freelance you can get support from Access to Work.

Access to Work doesn't need a diagnosis and you can have a workplace needs assessment to talk about your struggles for the assessor to recommend solutions.

Right - looking at the above words - I am un able to fully understand or visualise the above process your trying to describe to myself "like what you mean next to their appointment"?
and im unsure if its worth I ask more about it
- or for example try out a "trial" of what your trying to describe with mind maps once for myself to see how it works?

I dont know about Libre Office, there is dictation available in each of the others for free.

dictation for what? ... (oh the word processor you are using - you saying yourself will use the office package which has dictation?
The reason - maybe why I wrote three examples of text editors I have installed on my laptop in my room is because - for a while I felt its been something which is problematic ( having more than one creates clutter digitally on the laptop

What should I do about it?

but the probably presumed wouldn't be able to get it- you understand

- I've been someone in the past who would use the "job centre" in past
but right now been employed erm since got first job ...

Hey so
I have client appointment on one branch of my map - coach Tim 10-12
Sub branches to the side of that appointment are next actions that are completed within 24 hours of the appointment finishing. Such as :
Email to let the office know software is installed, so they can arrange training.
Send a link to a video e.g. capturing next actions from meetings.
Send their signed coaching contract to them etc.

Pick a word processing package that you like.
Two of the ones you mentioned have dictation options.
I only use Microsoft Word for file compatibility with clients etc.
I do use multiple mind mapping software, as I train on them too.

you wrote an example of your mind map process here? initially reading it - I thought you were writing me something like an offer for coaching (no joke - and was thinking to myself WOW someone is offering coaching for me to help learn/implement GTD related to allens company for free?)

If you need some support in your job and need another person there to for instance give you help or support you. Foe example A visually impaired man had access to work and his grant money paid for a driver to get him to his place of work.
You say Access to Work has been explained differently to you. Can you tell me what has been said to you as that could be right as well.

Access to Work can provide a range of support and a workplace needs assessment where an assessor suggests a package of support.
Essentially, you describe the struggled you're having at work and then they offer and offer some funding for a solution.
For example:

If you struggle with skills like Time Management, Memory, Literacy and Organisation, communication (and more), coaching is often recommended.

If you finding reading and proof reading difficult, you might want software which reads to you.

If you experience pain or difficulties expressing yourself in writing then speech recognition like Dragon Professional may be suggested.

Way too much to explain concisely in writing.
