The Accidental Cultist
Posted in Blog, Communication, GTD, Hacks, System |
Welcome back! It's good to see you again. Please note that I am now publishing all new material at my hub site: In Context Blog
The GTD movement even grows and assimilates those who do not know they are Getting Things Done:
A few months ago, I ran out of my Miquelrius journals and had a bit of a meltdown. I wanted to try and find a notebook locally that could serve the same purpose but found it impossible. Most of the notebooks had too few pages and I couldn’t warm up to the wide-ruled pages. The bindings were weak or they were spiral-bound. I did a bit of research online to see what other people use, considering switching to an online-based organizational tool or going “unbound” with the popular Hipster PDA. I was surprised and amused to discover that my personal system echoed many of the practices of David Allen’s Getting Things Done (expounded upon greatly on Merlin Mann’s 43 Folders) and was also in many ways a carbon copy of Bill Westerman’s tongue-in-cheek take on GTD - “GSD” - right down to the Miquelrius notebook and checkboxes. (I had joined a
cultmovement without even realizing it!)
Quixotic has a long but informative post on how she manages her time and tasks that is well worth reading.
