Master Plan Update

April 12th, 2007 by Stephen

Posted in Blog, Brainstorming, GTD, Mind Like Water, Process |

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

Good afternoon,

One of the commenters on my previous post suggested a tutorial on setting goals and planning for their completion.  I have been using it to lay out my 1-2 year and 3-5 year goals over the past couple of days. There will be a big update on the results of this work shortly. I do recommend Ellesse’s blog at Goal Setting College. There is a ton of useful information there.

Also, if you are not in the practice of doing a Quarterly Review, I highly recommend it. That execise is exactly the tool that exposed my (previously unknown) open loops in the long-term goals and @Project contexts.

Mind Like Water

I leave you with a quote from Hans Margolius that expresses the result we are all working on with our GTD:

“Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.”

    Hey Stephen, glad you’re making some headway on your Master Plan! I can’t wait to see your updates on using the Tutorial as it’ll be a great case study for those who’ve downloaded it. Enjoy the process while you’re at it!

    Cheers,
