GTD Day 2

Well day two went better than day 1!
All the overhead of selecting the systems and such was done.
The one issue I did have was that I got quite a bit done in the AM and crashed in the early afternoon and didn't really hit my list again till the evening.

The ironic thing about all of this is that even though I only got 1/2 way down my list I still got 5x as much done as I would have on an entire weekend!

Keeping the GTD list manageable is my next challenge. Every time I cross something off my list I think "a couple of weeks ago this is all I would have done in a week!"

some of the items on my list were not granular enough and I have had to split them out over the next couple of days.

All in all I strongly suggest that you give Getting things done a look over and take only the pieces that work for you. The system was based on a book - I saw a talk the author gave to Google staff on the subject of his book and die-hard users of the systems he introduced are making more headway than he is. he was like a guy who threw out an idea to see if it would stick and all the life hacker people came out and created an open source community of opinions and ideas around the general concepts and now the product found on the internet is quite refined.

I will continue to keep you posted!
