I'm working hard to make eProductivity the ultimate GTD implementation tool for Lotus Notes.<BR/><BR/>http://www.eproductivity.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21077086.post-38442621336324169172008-02-01T16:25:00.000-05:002008-02-01T16:25:00.000-05:00I've been aware of GTD for a while but never really spent time on the methodology. As I was reading the pre-print, I had this real deja vu moment.<BR/><BR/>Some years back, I worked as a field technical support person for a medical device company (in Oberlin). During our training we were taught how to build plans based on territory goals, create schedules based on those plans, and then execute them.<BR/><BR/>Problem was that I'd wake up, check voice mail and have some account in the outback of WVa that was down and needed help NOW. Plans out the window.<BR/><BR/>I spent 6 months stressed because I couldn't execute my plan.<BR/><BR/>One day, it hit me - my customers were happy because I showed up when they needed me so ta heck with 'the PLAN'.<BR/><BR/>Wake up - check voice mail - decide which fire was burning hottest - go put it out and move on to fire #2. Stress was mostly eliminated.<BR/><BR/>Hokey smokes Bullwinkle - GTD...!<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should take a closer look at using GTD now that I'm a cubicle worker who's having problems executing the new plan...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link. I'll send it to my boss while I'm at it.<BR/><BR/>Take care.<BR/><BR/>Doug Fdoguhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12868824073211537723noreply@blogger.com
