Here are the things I’ve observed about myself over the course of my Getting Things Done implementation.
- I have a tendency to skip my inbox on things that show up on my desk, and file them directly into the appropriate folder. That’s bad.
- I don’t check all of my folders regularly.
- I tend to put the great majority of items in my @office folder, knowing that I will review that one, if nothing else.
- I haven’t been very good about entering new items directly into Backpack via my PDA; I’ve tended to scribble them down as notes, and address it later.
- My "Project" lists have become almost worthless, because I haven’t been referencing them.
- I haven’t been consistently asking the question "what’s the next action here?"
This lists doesn’t mean that my GTD effort is shot, just that I need to get my proverbial ass in gear.
