I'm hoping to find the cure in some ideas outlined in a book called "Getting Things Done". I may have misinterpreted the instructions but a room in my flat has now become an "inbox" and as there aren't many rooms in my flat it seems reasonable to prioritise sorting out this inbox ASAP.
Unfortunately that's the only priority I'm allowed to make. So, until the task is completed, I have to process everything without prioritising - doing the top thing on my inbox list (finding homes for instruction manuals, guarantees, old notebooks, statements and other rubbish - as well as ideas about what to do with this blog). So I haven't got much time spare.
In the meantime the gap since my last post has become embarrassingly long. Last week Dave Hill kindly mentioned this blog in a piece on the Guardian website (thanks for that!) and I thought I better explain why I haven't done much for a while... I hope someone will still be reading this by the time I get back to it, hopefully next week.
This attempt to sort things out started before 2011 but it's now become a new year resolution.
And if there's anyone reading this... happy new year! And I hope you're having a better time with your resolutions than I am.

Still keeping an eye over here, yeah.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the inbox room! GTD is a neat idea, unfortunately I only got as far as reading it and making a few lists, then kind of fizzled... sounds like you're doing better :)
