Image of a Bad ClockWe are on day 4 of my attempt to embrace a solid time management system.

Day 1

Read several books looking for the perfect solution (not found).

Day 2

Searched internet for what other people said they liked.

Day 3

Researched Getting Things Done (GTD) as it seemed to be the most talked about.

Day 4 (today)

I’m finishing up reading the book Getting Things Done and also studying how to utilize the system with Evernote.

I am waist deep in “Getting Things Done by David Allen” and have decided I might as well give this system a try.

I am only halfway through the book, but have done some searching online for resources to make my introduction to this system easier.

Here are 6 links that I have found useful in my attempt at learning this time management system.

I hope to be “Getting Things Done” starting next week. I have a feeling I am going to end up modifying the system to fit my personality and mind set. I will keep you all updated on what the final outcome of all this is.

I have officially drank the “Getting Things Done by David Allen” Kool-Aid; Hulk help us ALL!

I am still going through the book slowly, but have found some great resources outside of the book you can check out.

Here are 5 links that will help you if you are interested in GTD (Getting Things Done).

Top Links for getting things done:

  • Get on Tracks: Doing Things Properly (software)
    This software was created for using the GTD system. I plan on sticking with Evernote, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, and Gmail. You might want to test this software out if you are looking for the best software for yourself.

You may not believe this, but I have a hard time dealing with Time Management.

I know what your thinking, “I don’t believe it Jason, you post so randomly and without warning, I assumed you had it all together.”

The reality is I’m a procrastinator and jump around from project to project through out the day and sometimes throughout the hour.

I have an un-diagnosed case of adult ADD, live in a chaotic environment (I’m currently watching my 3 month old while writing this), and get  a weird enjoyment out of the feeling of urgency.

With my hope to update this blog once or twice a week, update the jasonloveslife.com blog every week day, and continue working on my niche site, I realize I need to come up with a better time management system.
