Higher Level Open Loops
andyc | Nov 23 2006
Folks Thanks to Merlin's Podcasts, I've finally realized why I've been procastinating all over the place for the last few months. The runway is sorted. The process works pretty well down there. Somewhere between there and 40,000 feet it all goes wrong. It doesn't help that the company I work for got acquired this year. I know what job I'm going to be doing, but there's a lot of paperwork to be done before it happens. But the change of role brings lots of 10, 20 and 30,000 feet questions up. I don't even know what the questions are, let alone the answers. Does anyone have any good triggers for questions to ask, and thought processes, at the higher levels? 13 Comments

I can't offer any advice about the situation, but I can empathize. Listening to the podcasts has give me new perspectives about GTD, and one of those new perspectives is the problem you mention -- open loops are open loops, whether they're e-mail or five-year goals. I used to say that I didn't want to go on a journey of personal discovery in order to learn how to use the Franklin Planner... and now I have the nagging feeling that I should go on one to learn the rest of GTD. I've been avoiding this for years and years -- procrastinating on something that might just help me get through my procrastination! :) » POSTED IN:
