Each and every article I find on parenting and GTD I say to refer to often. This one has been the most inspiring excluding the part in the book about the desk drawer in the GTD book. I work at home so moving my attention to my son can be really difficult at times.

thanks for sharing, I needed this boost today.

Thanks for all the nice comments! I get so excited when I see other moms trying the GTD system–probably because I can anticipate how much they’re going to love it.

For all the women who are working from home or trying to bring in some extra money in this economy, GTD is absolutely the way to go (it keeps your mind from going crazy…).

I run a website called The Power of Moms (www.powerofmoms.com), and hundreds of women from our community have been using (and adoring) GTD. I wish you all the best of luck getting organized!

Thanks for the post, I just googled “mom” and “gtd” because I was wondering if it’d be of any use to me as a non-professional. DD’s just 4 months old, but I want to get organized now so I can enjoy our family, as you said.

Great Post! I’ve been trying to follow GTD for about a month now and this week I’ve realized that i really have to schedule in the time to practice implementing the system. I like the idea of setting aside one hour each day. I’ll give that a shot! I’m also a small business owner (just about to launch my business in the next month or so) and I really believe that GTD is going to help.

@ Kelly: I’m also going to be mixing GTD with FlyLady for chores. I love how she splits up the house in to a focus area for each week!

Great post on GTD and moms! Thanks!
I use a GTD/FlyLady combo myself.
I still have those moments so beautifully & painfully described above–but mostly because I’m still addicted to tasking.
More than anything, I appreciate what GTD has done for the quality of marital time. There are many less “drive by” crises between us now that we keep a running inventory of open issues–and meet weekly to determine next action.

Just wanted to share a link to my blog posts that have to do with motherhood and GTD.

I agree, GTD is indispensible for moms!
