I’ve recently become a fan of David Allen’s Getting Things Done system for personal productivity, largely due to the influence of Merlin Mann’s 43 Folders. I’m on Christmas holiday right now and, although I’ve done some organizing and getting some of my stuff organized for GTD in the future, I have successfully enjoyed a noticeable lack of over planning and scheduling of my time. My schedule has mostly consisted of Spend time with family, Read, Write and Work on M.Ed. project (and even that has been kept at a minimal level). Monday is the return to school and although I’m looking forward to seeing and teaching my students, I could definitely use another week or two of NGTD. Oh well - winter break is only 5 weeks away.
