Getting Back To GTD
I read David Allen's GTD several years ago.
Here's how I found it. I was panicking with the amount of things I could see I needed to do. And I was getting frustrated trying to find a way to resolve the panic. That lead to a web search "How to do things". And imagine my surprise, when I stumbled on a book called 'Getting Things Done'.
I read it and enjoyed it a lot. I was like, this is it, it solves everything. As in, must of what we blame as 'complexity of life' is just our brain-machine running out of memory, as we use it for storage instead of generation of ideas.
The reason I speak of this today is that despite having been through such grandiose experience back then, I haven't been keeping up with it since then as I should've. One of my a month blog post mentions the app called TickTick. That app is currently full of tasks, projects and various items. Including one asking me to clean the app itself.
The human brain is one tool which everyone is always using. Yet, the basics of it aren't exactly in popular understanding, especially given what we already know with proof. Much like a computer or a phone, the brain has a limited capacity for what it can do, and what it can do RIGHT NOW. If you have operated a computer or a phone, and opened a lot of processes simultaneously, you'll see how the device will become very slow, and sometimes even stop working.
I find that admitting the limitation of the brain is very important in realizing how to mend it.
