I think he was telling me that in organization was antithetical to his nature.

Find what’s motivating for you about doing GTD. What will it do for you personally? Professionally? How will your life be better?

Find the outcomes that give you that spark of inspiration. It may not be in the process, but in the result (e.g. most people don’t love walking on a treadmill, but love how they feel when they are walking out of the gym.)

It can also help to have some support and structure. Go through the Getting Started & Refresher series on GTDConnect.com. Hang around the GTD Forums (http://www.davidco.com/forum/) to chat with others doing GTD. Go to a seminar (http://www.davidco.com/seminars/seminar_mastering_workflow.php). Read the book again. Lots of ways to get on the wagon. The trick is to find what rings your bell.

Cheers,
Kelly
