Pamdora - everytime I see GTD I think Greatest Common Divisor. What a geek I can be. Tina - definitely check out the book - it's awesome! Cynthia - I agree - when the time is right for us we find what we need. Isn't Christine great! Alyson - my email to you has started to bounce! Oh no! It was your website where I finally connected with the GTD stuff. Dale Ann - yes - fabulous - and good luck with your show and organization. Tracy - I think we all take what we want from systems - good for you for pulling what works for you. I'm not doing it exactly either but I love the main goal - effortless productivity - I'm a huge fan of effortlessness! Lisa - it does feel daunting setting up GTD - I took a week to get the basics in place. I still don't have all my projects down but I know I have all the ones that I need to think about in the next month on there - and I have a project for finishing my project list. I think this means I'm a gtd geek. leah - good luck finding a system that works for you.

I am just in the starting process of Getting Things Done but I think it will be very valuable if I can get it set up. I’ve just read both of these books and would recommend both of them as well.

(... and me being a quote lover, it was just over the top!) Your post is very timely as it's now been about 6 months since ArtBiz GO class and my reading GTD. I knew all of the ideas in the book were not for me, but so many were so valuable. Although I've stuck by many, I'm starting to see piles on the kitchen table, in the bedroom, office, etc... This post is a wonderful reminder to review. Thank you! I simply loved that book! (… and me being a quote lover, it was just over the top!)

I've found that it doesn't work for a lot of artists (too structured), but it's got to be perfect for a gal with a series called "Structures." And even if you use just some of his suggestions, you'll be ahead. I look forward to an update. And I'm excited about the interview we did and to see it here on your blog--your first podcast. Thanks for the mention. Lisa, GTD is perfect for you.

You've organized your paperwork? You should see my dining room table right now - one huge pile has become 10 big piles in my lame attempt at organizing myself. I've got some deadlines coming up and I had a moment of panic - when do I need to get the photos, let alone the work to the organizers?? Secondly, I just discovered Christine Kane this past week. (I know you blogged about your seminar with her before, but I don't always follow all the links) Confessions aside, I would love to take one of her seminar's and I love her music and energy. I suppose that sometimes, we need to make these little discoveries on our own when we're ready. My new favorite song is "what the hell am I doing with my life?" When I first heard it - it was me 10 years ago - totally related. Anyway, congratulations, and I look forward to reading your interview with Alyson. First of all - I’m so jealous right now.

Over the last week or so I've been wondering how everyone from the GO (Get Organized) class was getting on. :) I know I'm still doing pretty okay but a few things haven't quite clicked into place. Fortunately a few systems were drastically improved and I haven't managed to destroy them yet. I'll have to check out that book! And Alyson's of course. Thanks for the little update!
