GTD hits the library blogosphere

In case it helps Dave, Greg, or other librarians ready to drink the GTD kool-aid, here is where I've blogged my experiences about GTD:

• Getting Things Done on the Web Wanderings


• All the livelong day Wanderings


• 17. implement GTD 43 Things

I suspect my past experience reflects more on how to get things done as a student than as a librarian. I hope Dave and Greg will share their implementations as they go along for all us librarians and future librarians to learn from.

I bought Note Studio a couple of months ago thinking that a wiki on a PDA might be just the thing. But now, I'm taking a look at the products at 37 signals (Backpack and Ta-da List). These tools would let me put the productivity stuff on the web--it works for me for email (Mizzou and Yahoo!) and my news aggregator (Bloglines), why not projects and to do lists?

Some people seem to be using 43 Things as a productivity tool. I am using my list as my current projects list. And I'm using my new blog as a log of productivity--something that is missing in GTD and that I seem to need (for me, it hasn't really happened if I haven't reflected on it). But, and I know this will come as a surprise to some, I really won't share everything on the open web. My Next Action lists have private items, particularly the ones related to "29. organize my finances" and "4. get a job." So, 43 Things is not a candidate for my full implementation of GTD.     #
