I usually find myself comfortably between Installation and Implementation. I tend to hover between the two because, despite my years of working in GTD, I am still a work in progress, and frankly, that’s why I love this methodology. I feel GTD permits me to be human and to make adjustments if I find my system is imperfect. I tell the participants of my classes that I “practice” GTD, because as I continue with the system, I continue to refine the system myself.

My primary methodology is consistent, although I have lapses of discipline from time to time. Just recently, I came to really value GTD in a home project. I usually apply GTD much more readily and consistently in the work environment, but I have several extracurricular activities occurring and GTD has served me well.

I tend to think of the quote in the Fundamentals course that states something that if you aren’t uncomfortable, you may not be living a big enough life (or something like that). I truly would not be able to achieve the goals I have had it not been for GTD, even as I use only a fraction of the system!

I keep refining and moving forward and I appreciate the room and permission to apply GTD is a way I find useful and valuable.

Keep up the great work, everyone.
Kindest regards,
Susie Hudson
