Getting Things Done

[days_unfolding]

I started reading Getting Things Done. The basic idea is to make a list of everything that you need to get done, and then review it every day to decide what you will work on. I've started making a list on Evernote, mostly using my phone. Every time anything pops up in my head, it goes on the list. Of course, I still need to work on the items on the list! After I finish the book, I enrolled in a Udemy course on how to implement a Getting Things Done system using Evernote.

Minor kitty squabbles this morning. When Mimi is hungry, she blames Zara for it, instead of me. (I don't fathom how her tiny kitty brain works.) But I fed them and all is well. They're spending most of their time together now, and the fights do seem to be fewer.

In a few minutes, I'm going to prep the lasagna for the crockpot.

I like the idea of GTD. I've tried it a couple of times, but each time I found myself getting caught up in the process rather than making progress. I was using
omnifocus (https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus) - a very competent piece of software. But, I found I was spending way too much time reviewing tasks, sorting them into their context, building projects and so on. I think it would have worked really well if I'd been managing a project and delegating tasks....... but I might give it another try. One thing I did like was making it a routine to go through my 'task list' for the day as I was drinking my morning coffee. That is a good habit.
