I’ve been constantly immersing myself with GTD this week. Today and on Tuesday, I listened to a few GTD-related podcasts:
- The Personal Productivity Show #021 – Jason Womack
- The Productivity Show #022 – The Return of Jason Womack
- The Personal Productivity Show #003 – David Allen
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.
Hehe! Good work!
