Your toughest work is defining what your work is! – Peter Drucker
SUMMARY
- I spent a lot of time this week making sure that I was caught up on things in all of my classes, but especially this one.
CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)
- I learned that GTD is really just about prioritizing things however you feel is right, you don’t need any fancy tools to keep you organized, as long as what you are using works for you. You should also try and never have things just sitting in your head, you should try and find an appropriate place to “park” these things where you will see them at least once a week.
PRACTICE ROOM (TUTORIALS)
In this ‘room’ you are going to try Getting Things Done (GTD).
STEP 1: MAKE A LIST
- History lecture: F&I War 1&2
- GTD part 2 blog post
- Updating workflow blog post
- Week 13 blog post
- Sport med lesson 1,2,3,4
- Chemistry project
- Read a poem for English
STEP 2: NOTICE WHAT YOU NOTICED
- History lecture: F&I War 1&2
- GTD part 2 blog post
- Updating workflow blog post
- Week 13 blog post
- Sport med lesson 1,2,3,4
- Read a poem for English
- Chemistry project
STEP 3: SET A TIMER
- Set a timer for your first task
- Decide how long you think it will take before you start
- Start working
- Repeat this process for 45 minutes for as many tasks as you can complete, then take a 15-minute break
Start steps 1 through 3 again, repeat for your school day
- I think that if I had a effective GTD system set up, I would be much happier and less stressed out. I struggle to stay motivated which puts me behind, which in turn makes me less motivated, so I have more to do. I need a system to put my thoughts down to make them easier to achieve
WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
- I learned that all of the work I have isn’t actually that hard, as long as I dedicate time and effort to it, and as soon as I do that, I will be much more successful and a lot happier.
