[GTD'oh!]

so as you can guess from the date of the entry that i didn't manage to pull off the weekly review, or do the scheduled read-through of Making It All Work, after having listened to the audiobook. occupied with a personal project that i'm aiming to finish within a week - everything else is on hold, even - gasp - no gaming!

in any case, i was listening to David Allen's second book, Ready for Anything, which has been criticised as being material in-between books: just a collection of tips and vignettes to improve on the GTD processes from his first book. so i was listening while at the gym, and even though a lot of the stuff is just a rehash of Getting Things Done, i did have what he terms a Blinding Flash of the Obvious (TM) - i was being daft and trying to capture, organise and clarify all at the same time, which is what you're patently not supposed to be doing. no wonder i didn't manage to stick with the program! d'oh!

[reboot]

so i've decided to revive my old blog - not a full revival, not now, at any rate - just so that i can keep track of the millionth time i'm trying to make things over and start afresh.

current goals:

• lose weight (exercise more, eat less)
  
• finish reading Making It All Work by David Allen
• implement GTD (and other assorted productivity methods) in my life
• play less videogames, or do more work so that I don't feel bad about playing...
  

and we'll take things from there. i'll try to post progress weekly (hopefully) as part of the GTD weekly review.

current music: The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
