I must say… this is what been keeping me from fully utilizing the GTD method.

It is rather disconcerting when, everywhere you look is a mess. Being a stay-at-home Mom of four wonderful children, trying to start-up many different business ventures on top of dealing with dehabilitating pain everyday… my plate is rather full but somewhat incomplete. The only thing missing.. organization. I don’t get out of my home very often so, my physical circumstances are overwhelming to say the least.

I do feel as though GTD is my answer. We have even tried to move all the “papers” & such into one location. My daughters began helping me make labels in order to begin filing everything needed away. We barely made a dent. I’m sure your readers could relate to imagining just how much paperwork comes home from their schools much less mail, etc…

Today I am painting a room we had been using as a “playroom” to collect all the children’s toys. Now, I will officially have an office. I’m so excited! Yet! If anyone is digging themselves out of a hole; it’d be me. Plus, I’m in desperate need a good computer.

At one time I signed up as a free trial member but that has long since expired. I had come up with make-shift ideas to use complimentary to your GTD System. However, being disabled… we just have a lot of medical expenses in addition to raising four growing children. (And I mean growing… my 13 yr old is 5’10”.)

However, I am grateful to David Allen. His book has been a life-saver to me. I am in the process of reading it the second time; after using it for reference many, many occassions ++ taking untold pages of notes. During this second read, I believe things will be coming together better.

Thank you all @ David Allen’s organization.
You produce magnificent materials that’s a life-line for many, I’m sure.

My Sincerest Blessings,

LaWynda

July 15th is a Thursday but the above lists the webinar as taking place on Wednesday, July 15th. Is it scheduled for the 15th or for Wednesday?

[Editor’s note: Thanks. Fixed. It’s Thursday the 15th.]
