GTD Post

I would have to say that I felt like after reading through the GTD process and watch the video's I felt that I had already mastered certain parts of the process in my everyday life.  But then felt that I have completely neglected other parts of the process.  Some of my strong suits were collected information and processing the information.  At school I have a specific spot for student paper and late paper and the students know where these places are so that I don't lose them.  My email inbox is kept very tidy when subfolders.  I immediately read all emails and categorize them accordingly.  I am good at completing tasks if they will take 2 minutes or less.  At home I have sticky notes with to-do-lists that I work through in no particular order and that is where I fall a bit short.  Organizing those lengthy assignments/responses/dates on a calender, etc.  What I liked about the GTD process was that it forced me to prioritize my to-do-lists and get things done in order of importance.  I have never been one good with dates and GTD has forced me to keep a somewhat regular calender and reference it multiple times.  The first time through, was lengthy and if it does not become a faster process for me I will be unlikely to continue, but will give it a good try.  After reviewing my lists it made me somewhat proud to have accomplished so much is a week.  I had never really looked back at all the decisions and things that took place.
