Take 10 minutes or less on each of these prompts to list and capture everything that you want to get done in the upcoming week: I’m constantly making improvements every day, week and month. I’m still optimizing the way I want to work. Slowly, I started picking the habits that worked for me, which quickly snowballed into a complete system that allows me to work at my own pace, avoiding the “guilt” of not doing enough. Side note: I picked up the book by Ryder Carroll, it seems promising.Īs I continued with my experiments, I realized a system is not built in a day, not to mention it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all type of deal. I felt that way with a bunch of different systems, including the bullet journal one, I couldn’t keep up. The habit cue/reward loop system kind of vanished, it appeared less attractive to maintain it. I used it for months and then I abandoned it. No one was going to do it for me.Įven though GTD opened my eyes, I could not make it completely mine. I had to become the architect of my own life, meaning stop reacting to the shit that happened to me and start having the control to pivot my life where I wanted to go. What I needed was a system which could be molded into my habits (or the other way around, not sure yet). I realized I wasn’t lazy, unmotivated or depressed. Thanks to the GTD workflow I was able to comprehend that I shouldn’t rely on my ADD fueled brain (disclaimer: I haven’t been diagnosed, but I tick all the boxes). If you haven’t already and you’re somewhat obsessed about productivity then I recommend you read it it’s a whole new world! *sings in Aladdin*. Getting things done is a book that guides you to create an inventory of organized actions which are aligned to your own goals and priorities.
