  1. And since I'm already bombing you with #grandma stories, here's a last one, we touched in the last recording of 26 March 2023 as well: The time, she got her reading aid.

    I had started managing my "projects" using #GettingThingsDone a few months ago, which made me take her to #Solothurn, the home of our (very likely) ancestor, the painter #FrankBuchser wikitree.com/wiki/Buchser-5 . We stood overnight. I met with some Swiss #Wikipedia folks in the evening. One of them, who was from Solothurn and knew about our interest in the painter joined us for a bit of sightseeing on the next day. He told us about his grandpa and how happy that one was with his electronic reading aid (basically a real-time scanner with a vertically mounted flat-screen monitor and optional voice output).

    Grandma also was interested, so I declared it my new "project" and organized a visit from of that company at grandma to bring and show her the device. She was a bit overwhelmed, but gave it a chance.

    The next day she nearly starved, because she forgot to cook. After years of not being able to read a thing anymore, she couldn't stop. The whole thing brought back so much quality of life. It cost "a few" thousand Euros and my aunt put of the question if that really still is worth it. Of course it was. She had it for over a decade!

  6. Vaikka uinti ei ole mitenkään omalta tuntuva liikuntamuoto ja perheen kanssa uimahallissa käydessä olen tyypillisesti altaan *vieressä* koko käynnin, sain itseni nyt uimaan.

    300 m on oikeasti aika vähän, mutta parempi aloittaa jollain tapaa ja lopettaa ennen kun tuntuu ikävältä - ehkä saan itseni uimahalliin näin jatkossakin. 10 käynnin ostaminen valmiiksi rannekkeeseen auttaa osaltaan myös.

    Ehkä tämän on sitä Getting Things Done -osastoa, missä manageeraan itseni liikkumaan, vaikka Se Oma Juttu 🚴 on nyt ainakin muutaman kuukauden kiellettyjen listalla.

  11. 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.

  16. 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.

  21. 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.

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

  28. 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.
