It’s good to be unproductive sometimes. I am a huge believer in David Allen’s Getting Things Done system, but the whole point of it for me is so that I can feel good about NOT doing anything sometimes. Because of my diligence in following The Plan, I know exactly how much room I have for goofing around and just living it up. And most of the time, it’s more than I ever would have guessed!
One day I’ll get around to sharing with you how I use GTD (short for Getting Things Done) and how much it’s changed my life. But for now, I am just thankful to have that system in place. It took me a while to get it to where it just works without me having to think much about it, but I’m at that point now, and the view is mighty good from here.
So what did I do today that got me in such a grateful mood? Not much really. Ate grilled cheese sandwiches and talked computer talk with a good friend. Cooked dinner and ate it with some more good friends. Wondered why in the heck my two year old was in such a bad mood today (okay, so it wasn’t the perfect day, but it was pretty close). Played around with some creative projects that are in the works…good, good, good.
So tomorrow’s Friday (I guess today is Friday, if you want to be specific)…time to get in one last productive day in for the week. Time to kick butt on a project that’s not my favorite. Here’s wishing the best to everyone out there who’s doing the same. And here’s to more unproductive days!
Stumble it!
