Instead it seems to be more effective to schedule non-negotiable daily reviews at the beginning or end of the day, during the ScheduleMakeover.com process. Having a distinct set of lists that you check and inboxes you process each day diminishes the nagging feeling that you’re not crystal clear on your current top priorities. And it frees up the weekly review to be a simpler high level overview of the upcoming weeks instead of an overwhelming time to catch up on a backlog of processing.

To your brilliance!

I have extra time this summer (a chapter I was writing for an academic type book, Oxford U. Press, is finally really finished and in press –it ended up taking me a whole year to do it– AND while I am working with doctoral students on their dissertations through the summer, I am not teaching any classes) and I almost feel like I have a fluid, open mind (like water?). The first thing I’m doing is renovating my GTD system, if I spend too much time on methods now, it’s overdue, been a long time since I’ve done that. Words of a GTD coach, Meg, really stuck with me, “You can consider the process of “defining work” as part of your real work system. I think from what I’ve read here and elsewhere, many of us fall off the GTD wagon on occasion, and this is my time to review my whole process. I’m lucky because I love this part of the process.

Thanks for those simple but essential points, it’s a super review of our working system.
