Flutterbyflyby3 The longest journey is the journey inward... Dag Hammarskjold

read and implement Getting Things Done (read all 3 entries…)
A year.... 11 months ago

I was dong this with Toady, but he was busy working on his master’s. Then he lost the book. I am done waiting. I am SICK of seeing this goal on my list. It is making me feel like a failure, I can’t even get through the book! No wonder I don’t get anything done!

I have read parts of this book several times. I like parts & know parts of it are not for me. Now I am just going to read and DECIDE if I really want to implement it. I think I am likely to implement parts. I did start emptying out my email Inbox today. I decided that as I approached 4000 emails, it might be time. A lot of them were just ebay notices, and inspirational quotes. File & tosssss!

It was a good task to do between laundry & dishes, but boy is it mind numbing!

Missa is back to work:(

Holy Wah! 4000 emails!!

Let me at them:) My hubby lets them build up, too. I go crazy if I have more than 25 in my inbox. I’ll sort them out into different folders, if necessary, but no more than one page in the inbox.

Good luck. I’m curious about this process.

Flutterbyflyby3 The longest journey is the journey inward... Dag Hammarskjold

Eight years

It took eight years to get to this point. However, recently it seems to increase exponentially. I figure it is time to delete & file because just seeing the numbers is overwhelming. I have less than 3500 right now.

3500

Right now I have gotten down just past 3500 and am working hard at keeping it this way until I have some time (hopefully this weekend) to clean out another 500.

Have fun!

Your entry has reminded me to do the same.

Thanks!
