Too much work for me -- as are many of the brilliant and effective systems I create for myself then try to share with others. Apparently, it's personal, and should remain so. But I love the idea you share in 1/26/2010's "The Pratice of Writing" about writing all the time. Not waiting for the perfect 20-minute or 4-hour block, but constantly finding the in-between moments of life and filling them with productive, creative writing. This will serve me,a nd my readers, well. Thanks, Chris. Whoa! Too much work for me — as are many of the brilliant and effective systems I create for myself then try to share with others.

The base premise is the five tasks: collect, process, organize, review, do. If you throw away everything but that base premise: that you shouldn't just act when something pops in your head, then you're closer to doing GTD than you think. 7 Habits? Same thing. Recognize that you're in control. Pick what you want to focus on. Organize and execute around those priorities. I find that the people who say they have no time for working within a system to organize, prioritize, and execute, are also the ones who say they have no time to get anything done. Coincidence?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The GTD method (I made it about halfway through the book before giving up) is extremely tedious and not very practical. Let's say I'm sitting in a lounge room while my car's oil is getting changed (about to go do that now), and an idea pops into my head about something I need to do on my PC. Should I really have brought along my "AT THE COMPUTER" folder on my trip to the gas station for just such a scenario? Not exactly realistic. Plus, just because I add a "next action" to a list somewhere doesn't mean it gets out of my head. Now it's just in two places instead of one! Yes, I could be better organized. And, yes, I recognize that some changes and more discpline are required on my part for that to happen. But I need a system that doesn't require so much "work" just to maintain. --Bryan Person Blog: Bryper.com Podcast: NewCommRoad.com Agreed, Steve.

Something that takes too long to do. Like Rob, I will be interested in seeing how this works for you. Good luck...
