Last week I was unable to maintain my commitment to my Weekly Review on Friday morning, so it was skipped. This had a definite negative effect on my productivity and planning for the days that followed. Here are the results for Week 14:

• GTD Scoring in the Book of Days for March is concluded: , April is tracking nicely towards GTD Mastery. I kept score all week long, in the face of exhaustion and lots of driving. The Sparkline shows a the effects of scrambling to get caught up - . Lack of proper planning led to a decrease in productive action. I haven’t had a low-stretch like that since the beginning of March (is it a trend?).
• Write next e-book and training course. Once again, I was unable to dedicate the kind of time needed for this project. I need a chunk of 3-4 hours to really get it moving.
• I was only able to clear my in-box to empty 4 days out of 7. Unacceptable.
• Average subscriber count was 715 (+26 from the previous report), with a high of 738 on Friday! Thank you all for that.
• Save $$$ toward some personal financial goals - complete! - I can announce that your support and assistance will enable me to attend the:

I will post these goals and my strategy for getting fired up shortly.
