Getting Things Done
Most people that know me probably wont be surprised if I call myself chaotic at best. The biggest disadvantage for me to this chaos is the feeling that I loose way too much time thinking about what should I do now, how should I do it, organizing stuff to be structured, etc.
About a year (maybe two) ago a friend of mine, Jaap, showed me a methodology called "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. Jaap has had lots of good experiences with this method and I've doubted since that time if I should give it a try or not. Last week at the conference Devoxx in Antwerpen there was also a talk about "Getting Things Done" and finally it convinced me to give it a try. I immediatly ordered the book (yeah for 170 MBit Internet @Devoxx) and started reading it last night.
Personally I hope to get a bit better structure out of using this and a bit more effectiveness in doing things so I have more time to do nice stuff. More about this soon I hope.
