My friend showed up to our meeting about 40 pages into David Allen's productivity classic, Getting Things Done. As I listened to what was jumping out at her from the book, it became pretty clear to me that she needed a way to clarify and organize all the amazing things she was doing and the awesome ideas she has for what's next in her life.
For now she has decided to continue to use her existing calendar/journal. On her "Today" list goes only the tasks that are absolute musts for today. All the tasks that are "should, hope so, gotta get to" go somewhere else. Those lists are called "Next" and "Someday." Breathe.... we'll get there.
Remember.... This is not about being "organized." This is about creating a way that you free your mind so you can lead to your heart. We met for 2 hours and WOW, did we cover some ground!!
Next up:
Is it working to jot everything in one place?
Are you feeling more calm and free?
Now that you're capturing everything is one place, let's practice sorting it so you it makes sense to you and it's where you need it, when you need it.
