Hi all,
So I'm quite new to GTD. I've spent two days in the weekend on the capture, clarify and organize step.
I think it's going well with the exception of one type of action, namely my monthly recurring services I have to perform.
Some background. I'm an online marketer. This means that I optimize campaigns of clients each month. Clients pay for let's say 10 hours each month and I have to meet those 10 hours.
Let's say for example that I have five clients with the following profile:
- Client one: 15 hours each month
- Client two: 5 hours each month
- Client three: 20 hours each month
- Client four: 8 hours each month
- Client five: 30 hours each month
At the beginning of the month, it's not clear what action's I will perform during the month. It's a constant workflow of analyzing, processing and optimizing.
Therefore I used to plan these hours in my agenda to make sure I meet the hours that I've sold. This is against the GTD method because it's not a concrete action and has, therefore, no due date.
Does anyone have some advice on how to handle the monthly optimisations within the GTD methodology?
Realy looking forward to your reply. I think this is the missing link for a successful implementation.
Thanks!
