Fantastic!

I actually purchased the GTD book after reading a little bit about it on this very website about 4 months ago. I agree that the single most life-changing part of GTD for me has been the idea of ‘next action item.’ I get very frustrated when I sit in meetings now and they end without any real sort of plan for people to follow up on. It’s made me realize when other people are procrastinating or just not preparing for these meetings. The up side of this though, is when I pipe up and say, “OK, what is it we’re doing next?”

You’ve made an excellent point above when you say, “…I think it boils down to learning to watch for what a “done??? project starts to look like…” I had not thought in terms of smaller, bite-sized projects yet (perhaps I’m still holding on to that giant all-encompasing to-do list too much), but that makes a LOT of sense. It really all does seem to come down to how you look at certain events in the project. Turning these milestones into projects, essentially. Regards, Jeff
