I find it challenging to set and define goals for projects that seemingly last forever. Projects like:
Prayer, relationship with God, reading my holy book (I could always be praying)
Exercising - what is enough? I want to feel a sense of completion and there are so many muscles to strengthen
Career - could I be pursuing a different career? Am I on the right career path? Are there any blind spots that are blocking me?
How do I define what I call “excellence” goals, not perfection goals? How do I feel good enough on these ongoing, never ending projects and feel as if I am making a difference ..read more

I'm a big proponent of being present with people when I'm talking to them. But often, either because of the conversation or because of random chance, I often have things pop into my attention that I want to capture. I want to capture it in the moment so that I can get back to being completely present, but I also strongly dislike when people look at their phone or seem distracted when I talk to them so I try to avoid doing that to others.
Interrupting the conversation to say "let me just write this down really quickly so I can listen fully to what you're saying" seems extra rude. I usually try ..read more

Although I am a long time GTD'er I am finding more and more that it just enables procrastination too much for me. My schedule is insanely busy as a business owner and the mental load of choosing a task is sometimes as challenging as just getting it done. I have been dabbling with motion which is an AI scheduler and LOVING it. There are some quirks but it is managing my schedule and presenting what I can do at the right time thus far just a few days in.
That being said it doesnt have a task inbox and I am really struggling with this workflow. Anyone using a tool that is not great for capturing ..read more

How GTD treats the higher horizons always frustrated me: David Allen never fully fleshes out this great concept. He even writes (somewhere): "GTD is a task methodology, not a life planning methodology".
I have the idea that the horizons build upon one another, based on:
- Their numbering scheme seems to imply it
- Some programs (like FacileThings) explicitly tie items from "lower" horizons to higher ones
- People often suggest MindMaps etc. for structuring horizons.
- My "tickler" notes contain quotes, such as "How to make my Vision come to life?" for Goals & Objectives.
That always cause ..read more

1/ Undo send
I sometimes hit send when I didn't intend to. It happens.
I couldn't live without the option to cancel this action.
Increase your undo-send window to 30 seconds for more breathing room.
2/ Custom keyboard shortcuts
Using keyboard shortcuts makes me feel like an email master.
I also clean my emails in a few seconds sometimes.
Take some time to learn the top keyboard shortcuts to increase your efficiency.
3/ Auto-advance
After you finish dealing with an email from your inbox, auto-advance immediately takes you to your next email.
It's way better than returning to the inbox screen a ..read more

I recently took on a role as the DJ booking manager for a company that I have been DJing for. I'm looking for a calendar app or someway to efficiently handle and and organize my work.
I book for 9 locations, some of which have multiple DJs and/or time slots throughout the week and special events a few times per month. There are a few resident DJs that have set weekly recurring gigs at different locations ( these sometimes need to be adjusted ). There are also over 50 DJs that I rotate through our locations. Not all DJs are always used.
Currently, I use a calendar in Google sheets to track boo ..read more

I have been a bit overwhelmed recently with ALL THE THINGS in ALL THE INBOXES cluttering up my life. I’ve been feeling too reactive.
This is my attempt to start bringing order from the chaos.

Hi all! I am responsible for taking notes during these focus groups that my leadership team is conducting. Currently, I have a bunch of notes, comments, etc… typed out in Excel. Is there a tool/website I can use to take all these notes and consolidate them somewhere and where I can do something with the data?
