I was getting things done for a while and it worked pretty well in terms of reducing stress levels, though I thought there was a substantial weakness in getting to more strategic things (it’s more of a tactical methodology in my mind and so you’d probably want to couple it with a first-things-first weekly planning to ensure big things get done ala Franklin Covey)..

But now I have fallen off the horse and just have a minefield of an inbox along with thousands of tasks all in different places with little prioritization. And without the weekly planning component from Covey I feel like I’m just dealing with the emergencies and the urgent and ignoring all of the long term stuff.

My current plan is to (at some undisclosed point) re-read the GTD book as I must be missing something / lots, and to give it a second shot. If only I could get organized enough… Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes :)
