Things have been accelerating at work lately. I just noticed that my last blog post was over a week ago. Engineering stuff is keeping me busy.
I did upgrade the blog engine to wordpress latest and it keeps on churning. I’ve been playing with foswiki as an alternative to twiki. I’ve given up on GTD. I just cannot do it. It beats me because I cannot focus on it and make it work. I get caught up with the tools, wondering how to make it better and I cannot just take things. I don’t have a system now to remember things or to give things contexts or actions. Know what? I’m happier. I think it was a false thing for me. After awhile no matter what system I used, it grew tedious.
I do too much managing time these days with work; its hard for me to apply discipline to a tablet of paper or a laptop or a smart-phone’s nagging about doing something in less than 5 minutes if I can do it. Honestly, what if I don’t want to do it in 5 minutes. Am I damned to hell? So, I’ve reached the consensus opinion that GTD never let me get things done. I toyed too much with the apparatus. I don’t like the “contexts” either. Its all false to me. I make something this context or waiting for or that context or someday/sometime. Who the hell cares? I don’t care and it made me go through things way too often and get frustrated.
I tried though. I think some of us are not meant to do GTD and its okay. If you feel like me, its okay. GTD for me was difficult and I never was satisfied with any “trusted system”. It was like why should I do things this way when I could… I’m too much of a software tool user.
I now return you to creating 1000 contexts and assigning your life experience to them. Hopefully you remember what you put where
