Bombarding myself with GTD « Bryan Off Topic

I’ve been constantly immersing myself with GTD this week. Today and on Tuesday, I listened to a few GTD-related podcasts:

On Wednesday, I went through a lot of stuff around my desk. I cleaned, threw things away, processed part of my inbox, labeled and filed folders away – it was great! Despite all I was able to do that morning, I still have so many things left. I wish I had some extra drawers I can store stuff away. I have so many CDs, CD spindles, cables – it’s ridiculous!

In The Personal Productivity Show #021, one tip mentioned was to put all the stuff in that junk drawer and put it into a box. For me, I’ll probably take it a step further and inventory its contents before I put it into storage. That way, in addition to clearing up that space, I can keep that inventory page filed away and refer to it if I need something from that box.

At this point in time of my life, I’m crazing simplicity. I should only have stuff I absolutely need. Since I’ve been here in our apartment, I’ve been hating the times when I’m turning everything upside down because I can’t find one small thing.

Tomorrow will finally be a step towards this goal.

Depends how you look at it November 16, 2009

Silas and I were supposed to meet up with other photography classmates for long exposure photos from Cow Canyon Saddle by Mt. Baldy Village1. That didn’t happen.

Bill November 10, 2009

I didn’t ask Bill to pose or smile. I liked his second portrait, but that wasn’t as sharp. Boo me. Reflections of myself and Bill’s dad (upper left) was deliberate. Taken inside his dad’s garage, and hopefully soon to be his recording studio. View on Flickr

A gift of film November 10, 2009

Jon Swanson emailed me last Friday and asked if I wanted any color Fuji 35mm film. He didn’t tell me how many rolls he had in his possession. Most importantly, he didn’t want a dime. I asked him how much he had, but he persisted that I give him a number. I requested eight rolls of 200 film1. [...]

One of my first prints November 5, 2009

I tried to get this scanned print as close to the real thing as possible. I cropped out the white borders since they weren’t clean. I didn’t write down how I exposed this in the enlarger – shame on me, I guess. Lastly, since this was our first assignment, our teacher hadn’t shown us contrast filters [...]
