Tried GTD, but I would get stumped at the first step. I'd have this huge list of everything to be done, and I'd be like.
David Allen I know is super useful, once you get past that step.

>hmmm, which is first?

I mean when you build a house, obviously you need a foundation, but with other things it's no so straight forward
>well actually you need the land, the land to be surveyed, a blueprint, many different levels of authoritative approvals, then you can contact a earth-moving business to help you with the foundation

Reading the link now though.

hahaha, probably the best solution I've heard!!
>Not joking

I know I need to start.
How do I know WHERE to start?
It's like looking at a ancient temple, I know I have to get in there, but where's the fucking door... even if I have to dig up the entrance, I still need to know where it is so i can take the first step: dig.

There are tips on selecting the right task to do in GTD as well.

The only one I remember is the "if it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now" that's a really good one.

Not to be one of those anons who wants everything handed to them on a silver plate, but can you remember which techniques and tips he mentions?

Also just finished that Steve Pavlina article... THAAAAAAAAAANK YOU.
So many good take outs from that.

>90 day goals.
>Do a task, even a large on, in one sitting, don't break it up
>Similarly: Bunch similar tasks together in sequence
>Get in the habit of making decisions in 60 seconds - if you're hungry, grab some fruit and start munching.

>"Instead of using some elaborate organizing system, I stuck with a very basic pen and paper to-do list. My only organizing tool was a notepad where I wrote down all my assignments and their deadlines. I didn’t worry about doing any advance scheduling or prioritizing. I would simply scan the list to select the most pressing item which fit the time I had available. Then I’d complete it, and cross it off the list."
That last one I like A LOT.
