Seven Productivity Tips For People That Hate GTD | Zen Habits

Seven Productivity Tips For People That Hate GTD | Zen Habits

For some reason, I’ve always shied away from the GTD system.  It just seems to regimented for me.  I’m much more of a “go with the flow,” creative kind of person, and GTD seems like too much of a creativity killer.  I could be wrong. I haven’t wholeheartedly tried to implement the GTD system, but what fun would it be criticizing something with full knowledge.  I much prefer to make snap judgments without being fully informed.

I like the tips put forward by Jonathan Mead in the article above.  I especially like tip 4 “Allow yourself to suck.”  I think that one really hit home for me.  So much of what I do (or don’t do) is motivated by the fear of failure, or the fear of exposing myself as not being as smart as people think I am.  I really need to suck more (since I am oh-so-perfect right now).
