  • Reflect on GTD and getting to the top of the colorful list above for a minute
    • How can the GTD process help you tame the crazy-busy dragon of modern life?

 

the GTD proccess can help get me organized so than I can get mhy things done and see what needs to be done in front of me. So than When I finish I can check it off and at the begining of the next day I can have a visual of what needs to be done.

OPTIONAL EXERCISE – Read the article and go for another walk 🙂

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED

I learned that a very good way to set up your GTD system is to make lists and write it down so you can have a view of what you’re doing to do. Writing them down is the best way to do it because you cannot just memorize the 100+ things may need to do in a week or one day. Sorting it out is the way to go so than you can meet all standards and get things accomplished.
