Tricks to GTD…

February 28, 2008 · Leave a Comment

…an acronym for ‘getting things done’…love it!  Here are a ton of tips and strategies for making more time for doing the things you love.

I’ve recently read ‘The 4 Hour Work Week’ and many of the things listed are included in the book…hmmm, what came first, the chicken or the egg?  Regardless, it’s good stuff.  The first strategy I’m going to try is setting a timer for tasks.  Parkison’s Law says that a task will expand to fill the time available for it. If you give yourself one hour to complete a task, that’s how long it will take. If you give yourself an entire day to complete a task, you will find ways to fill up the entire day working on that one thing.

…I’ll keep you posted!
