Does it require an action from me?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOn I went with my scalpel and removed item after item. Some into the incinerator, others into a permanent reference system I can go back to \u2013 should I want to use the information in the future.<\/p>\n
You would think that teaching GTD would make me the perfect user. Well, that\u2019s what I thought too. But the truth is that life just seems to happen: information pours in, I organise it out of my inbox (yeah!) and into my system.<\/p>\n
But I now realise that I haven\u2019t been thorough enough in my executive-question-asking. Had I taken a few more seconds to clarify properly, I might have made better decisions on whether 1) I should be doing something with it and 2) how to organise it sufficiently.<\/p>\n
As I clearly didn\u2019t do that, small residues have cluttered my system and needed surgical attention. And just like any minor intervention, my GTD system now looks really clean but awkwardly empty: a bit like it is suffering from post-operational trauma.<\/p>\n
I have taken so many executive decisions with my proverbial scalpel in hand that I now find myself with a refined and clean system that makes it very clear what\u2019s left to do when I hit the road again in September.<\/p>\n
Pressure is down. Motivation is up. Gone fishing!<\/p>\n
