I’ve been doing my weekly review since thursday, and still not done. I know it’s important, but doing it is another thing.

I think that part of the problem is that I must have over 30 projects, and each of those projects has a next action, so when I look at my next actions list, it’s a bit daunting. Since I still have my mind on that list, I don’t feel encouraged to process my inbox, to only add to that list.

Sort of that same thing at work, so what I did at work was to compile a separate lists of things that I want to get done the most. I was originally going to list 7 things, but since I could only fit 6 things on my notepad, I just went with that. Much better. Much closer to having a mind like water.

Tonight, I am going to apply this same technique at home. I’m sure this process is spelled out in the book. I think it relates to the different “altitude” views you use when going over your projects. There were some things that I just didn’t understand as I was implementing this process, but I definitely see the value in the entire process. I also know that it will get easier the further along I go. It just takes patience to implement it correctly.
