  1. Calculated some quick stats for my GTD system:

    • the current incarnation is 23 months old. That's more than I spent with a paper system.

    • I abandon 18% of the projects I start.

    • I realize 40% of the ideas I write down, i.e. out of every 5 ideas, two become completed projects and the other three go to the someday/maybe list.

    • my waiting-for list is 1.5 times bigger than my projects list.

    This matches my overall feeling that the clarification routine is weak and I should drop more stuff early on. This despite the fact that I became way more focused in the last couple years, ruthlessly deallocating time and energy from things that appear less important. About half a year ago I realized that I hamstrung myself by deprioritizing some activities that brought me joy and energy, so I'm bringing those back now.

    I suspect that in order to improve my clarification routine I should go to higher horizons and formulate a better understanding of where I'm heading. I tried bottom-up approach where I assign each project to an area of focus, but that didn't bring me any insights yet. Would love to hear how others approached their higher horizons.

  6. I'm planning to uproot my life and move, but I don't feel stress from the explosion of things to do, because of #GTD. I have a long list of things to do. I keep having more ideas.

    There's on the list. I'll get to them. I won't forget anything important. It'll be fine.

  11. I have a task I've been avoiding for three days.

    Not because it's hard. Because starting it means admitting I'm behind.

    Today I'm just going to open the file. That's it.

  13. Ok, got to inbox zero AND didn't add any new tasks to my bullet journal.

    Moving away from using my inbox as a to-do list was probably my biggest take away from reading #GettingThingsDone

  17. Wichtig: Alle Jahre die ToDo App wechseln und wieder bei Null anfangen. #GettingThingsDone

  18. Die App 'Tasks' von Alex Baker, die wiederum auf dem Code der Android-App von 'Astrid' beruht, ist zu einer flexiblen App für Aufgabenmanagement angewachsen. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sie mir tolle Dienste geleistet, auch wenn ich sie für GTD verwendet habe, wofür sie gar nicht konzipiert ist.

    Jetzt habe ich mit 'Mindwtr' eine echte GTD-App gefunden und werde wohl Abschied nehmen von Tasks. Erstmal stehen nun aber Migrationsarbeiten an.
