Getting Things Done - Revisit: Scheduling

The start of this series is here

I revisited the Getting Things Done fundamentals and learned I am not doing the fundamentals in my practice of Getting Things Done.

I did not schedule those steps into my daily and weekly routine: capturing, clarifying, organizing, engaging, and reflecting.

Each of these have different frequency in the GTD process:

Any time routine:

• capturing

Daily Routines

• clarifying
• organizing
• engaging

Weekly Routine

• reflect

Knowing when or the frequency of these events in GTD is helping me adopt the framework better.

To make daily routines “stick”, even with kids in my schedule - I put a “repeating event” in my calendar at the beginning of the day. The “ideal time” I want to do that event.

If I do not do that event then, I just re-schedule the event to an appropriate time.

This helps me immensely with the clarifying and engaging events of Getting Things Done.

I share how I work with these scheduled items by waking up early
