I may have ADD. I say that as a joke, but sometimes I wonder. I’ve spent the last week or so making my way through David Allen’s Getting Things Done. The GTD system is a 5 stage process:

  1. Collecting your stuff.
  2. Processing your stuff.
  3. Organizing your stuff.
  4. Reviewing your stuff.
  5. Doing your stuff.

My biggest problem is I give myself too much stuff to do. No, maybe it’s my inability to focus. Or it could be my lack of discipline. Too much coffee perhaps.

As of yesterday morning, I felt I had a pretty good grasp on everything in my life I need to do. Now I’m not so sure. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Watch this space for updates. I’m also lining up some folks to interview on the subject of productivity. You’ll be able to hear them on SavvySoloCAST (assuming I can make the time to actually do the interview).
